Hello Joe and Mike,
Since I was the one who implemented the level meter, I have a suggestion:
Please don't make the level meter change colors depending of the dB level.
It makes it rather difficult to read for those of us with not so good eyes.
It is perhaps better to change the color of the text or background of the
dB label, if the feature is really needed. I personally find that the way
the level meter works now is very clear, elegant and not visually intrusive.
