I tried something like that at first (only I used lines under the icons) It was
a nightmare, and would have involved considerably increasing the window size to
get lines thick enough to be easily visible. I want to try and stay within the
same footprint as much as possible.

The latest master now shows 'examples' at the bottom of the window just under
the 'Show synth engines' checkbox (used to be 'Show PADsynth status').

Again, I tried Bold early on, but it is *much* wider than the normal font and
looks quite messy at small sizes. Also, I think whatever is used needs to be
consistent at all levels.

It actually does an in memory fix now, to get the results you see. If that's
good enough for everyone then I guess there's not much point in doing an
auto-saved correction. Incidentally, I've made a small improvement to this that
runs slightly faster.

Well that's good to hear. I must admit, for test purposes I run  5 root paths
with lots of banks/instruments in each.

One last point. The old 'New Bank...' button is gone. It is nowhere as
efficient or easy to use as the one in the Banks window.
