    That appeared quite some time ago and it just a variation on the same theme. In fact it looks less user friendly.
    That design has been posted numerous times before.
    One thing that is quite certain is that Traktor will never have user selectable skins or themes. NI is opposed to this and I am inclined to agree.

    Maybe traktor would work if you upgraded your computer from 3 gigs a ram.

    How is it a weakness when they don't have them.

    maybe you don't know that i also have a core i5 with 8 gigs of ram where traktor has the same problem . Maybe when you have problems with traktor , you will change your tune . Any more questions ?

    Nope. I have my computer optimized for Producing/DJing. Working fine on my i7 with windows 10. My suggestion is to do the survey so you don't keep repeating your complaints.

    That's not a weakness. NI have always been against skins.

    Why create a great looking UI just to have it ruined by some leopard print skin.
    Whether you think Traktor Pro 2 is looking tired or not it was a huge improvement on Traktor DJ Studio 3 and was a great design.

    Virtual DJ users have 100's of options that make the software barely recognisable - it can look horrendous.

    I would never want that for Traktor. It's a minority feature request.

    Layout options, fine, skins, no thanks.

    16GB of RAM is completely unnecessary for Traktor

    What about if you're also running Maschine and something else in the background that might require a fair bit of RAM, such as video clips triggered by MIDI?

    Machine isn't Traktor. Video clips aren't Traktor.

    ^ This, so much this. Skins are superfluous, they are the very last thing a developer should consider.

    As for layout, I used to play an MMO which had a completely customizable GUI. You could detach sections and drag them round, you could resize them, or remove them altogether. Something like that, so people could set up Traktor to show what they need it to show, would be pretty good. I'd also like to see Traktor open up a little to include support for more devices, especially older ones. That's unlikely given that NI does hardware, granted, but it'd be nice.

    i respect your optinion but I will keep mine . Not being to adapt to changes that people need is a weakness .

    Running 3 different programs like that will require a decent amount of RAM to be stable, particularly if samples are high bit rate and videos are uncompressed or lossless.

    Do you seriously think running several demanding programs on little RAM is a good idea?

    Only you mentioned running different programs on "little" RAM. It's got absolutely zero to do with the discussion.
