Sure, but the problem here is that the larger icons in Sonar occupies more space. Simply changing the colour of the background square from gray to white would have increased legitibility, while the space available for text wouldn't have decreased. Also, the padding has increased for some unknown reason, making the space available for text even smaller. And to top it all off, the font size has increased, which is the third reason so little space is left for the actual text.

Trying to activate , logged on BandLab account, nothing happens, getting the same message to activate over and over ....damn it . The only way is doing that "backstage pass" process?

 

If it is just to take a look, you can load an existing project, play a little with it. You just can't save any changes though. But at least you'll have some idea of what is coming. You'll be nagged that it is not activated once in a while, but that can be dismiss.

I was making a simple comment.  I wasn't commenting on the visibility of the other components.  I was not debating. I envision possible solutions that meet the needs of multiple users. I was not contradicting anything that anyone else said so far as I can see.

"Sure, but . . . ." only serves to disagree with my comment.

You need Melodyne installed. Then depending on what version you own any audio track can be dragged to a VST instrument or midi track and it will be converted to midi data. 
Basic versions only do single monophonic conversion. Good for vocals, Bass and lead Guitar lines. 
The top 2 versions can create Polyphonic data as in guitar chords. 
This is something any DAW that has ARA can do.

I thought you were one of the open-minded people. 

I am. However, I don't think this thread should be littered with personal reflections. The S/N ratio can deteriorate rapidly. That's why I didn't post anything in reply to your strange thumbs down, and only gave you a thumbs down in reply. But as you keep going on; the point of my message was to say that designing a user interface is always  a balance between different important goals. Of course a bigger icon is easier to read that a small icon. Nobody can deny that. But the effect such changes have on other factors - in this case the number of characters that actually fit inside the text box - must be taken into account. Hence, I felt a need to agree, and disagree.

How you could give me a thumbs down for that, I still can't understand. But hey.

Actually, you can generate polyphonic MIDI guitar parts with Melodyne Essential by dragging the audio into a MIDI track and choosing Polyphonic Decay for the algorithm. 

What you can't do with Essential is edit polyphonic audio prior to converting it into data. Also note that pitch bends don't translate. But hey, it works!

True. But that can be fixed W/O shortening the name.
