I'll try to fix that, log conversions always confuse me though...

That's a cool idea, though as you noted from the tooltip, that is not the
reason for this knob.
The thing is that when you have added automation to a track you might at a
later stage want to change the overall mixlevel. Before this gain (or trim
as geoff called it, i might change the name) parameter was available this
was trouble some.
You could achieve it by:
1. changing all automation by hand to reflect the new level (might be close
to impossible)
2. add an amplification plugin (what I usually do)
3. ...some exotic uses of group tracks... I've done that too, it's a bad
workaround.
Now if the level needs to be adjusted it can easily be done with the
Gain/Trim...
saying that I now realize it should be able to attenuate also, I'll change
that too.

Aha. There seems to be some irregularities in the appearance settings. Not
sure how to go about fixing it apart from trying to weed them out as we
find them.
I've been meaning to try some more advanced stylesheet scripting one of
these days. I'm not sure if all controls allow such changes.
Using a dark theme seems more or less the norm these days, it would be good
if we allowed this, even supplied a starting point stylesheet.
