The meters are back to the length they used to be (with a little space lost for the grabber). If we want to increase their default lengths then we should look at the space saver idea (make them less tall) or else widen the initial size of Audacity main screen.
We have separate record and play meters. The original kind of meter is now called a combined meter. I've kept it because it can be useful when undocked if you do want both meters. I've also fixed it so that if made very narrow the meters stack vertically just as they already did horizontally.
Adds a transition from green to yellow starting at -12 db
or (0.50 for linear) and ending at -6 (or .75). A transition
to red then occors to the end of the meter.
Meter preferences have been added and most of the context
menu items have been moved there.
In addition, you may now click the playback meter to reset
the peak level indicator instead of having to click the
record meter.
