what do you want on the recording screen?

The developers have said that this would be an unnecessary amount of extra coding work. I tend to agree with them. We don't need total user control of the WRS. Maybe a "minimal" WRS and a "full" WRS and a menu setting to choose between the two. But even that sounds like too much to me. :)

Let me put up another vote for a very visual recording indication. Last night I missed half of the first song by not pressing REC correctly. Stealth recording not always allows to watch the screen closely, lucky for me I did and saw my error.
How about something simple like changing the the peakmeter color or part of the background?
For the rest, I would (for now) just convert the current recording screen items to the viewport layout, nothing new or less.

Why not hide the Time and Size lines completely until recording starts (just leave that area blank). That way you know when recording begins because a significant portion of the screen suddenly has much more text on it. Meanwhile, this also doesn't depend on display size, or color, or backlight, since these lines are alraedy present / used.

Continuing on this idea: The industry standard is blinking for pause/arm/engage (double bar) and solid (red dot) for recording.
I know I said earlier that I do not want anything flashing, but after doing a spot of research I did confirm that this behavior is pretty much industry standard. (oops)
So we could simply have the first two lines blank while stopped, flashing while paused (or pre-recording) and steady (and changing) while recording.

This is not good on grayscale or monochrome targets.
Implementing Big WRS Icons is clearly the best way to do this in my opinion! (See my previous posts.)
;D

There are some suggestions regarding voicing of the recording screen at this flyspray task:
