Full screen mode please
Ah that makes a bit more sense, but I would say that Live looks like it's waisting more space with all that emptiness. The menu and top in reason does look quite a lot bigger under windows by comparison to Mac but it is useful information.
How would you rather it?

Live is hideous like a prison tattoo on a sagging breast and is beyond our help. However, I would very much like Full Screen for Reason. That white stripe at the top looks like a Windows95 gimmick on dialysis. With a darker colour theme, especially if you're sitting through the night with low lighting, it becomes a distraction. If you make that "disablable", that and the bars for Browser, Mixer, Rack and Sequencer while you're at it, suddenly you have something in the ballpark of 20-25%? of screen real estate freed up in a much less cluttered GUI.
I know it's removable, I just think it could be more functional.
I also understand that once setup the transport bar becomes redundant for the most part.
As for the massive title bar under windows I can see why you would question it, but I really wouldn't change the layout under OSX, and like I said I can reclaim that top 30 pixels but never do lol.

that’s nowhere near 20%, but it’s still a good point.
If you work with the 3 windows separated, you get more space because the 3 horizontal window gigantic buttons are gone. So, detach the windows and get that out of your way. Also you can already remove the transport from any window so, you can choose the one it appears.
I do agree the menu bar could have a unpinned mode and the transport could be a little thinner.

that's the second part of the problem - if I have these tabs separate and then I load the project, they are all combined or miss-sized at random. This is a lot more annoying than it seems to a point where I just stopped separating the tabs, so now when a project loads up I have to make the whole thing "full screen" just once and then cycle through with F5-6-7.
Aside from the 4 bars being visible, yes - this is exactly it!
How did you make the very top bar disappear? Please don't tell me this is an Apple-only-proprietary thing.
macOS has full screen mode. I'm not sure if Windows has the same?
On macOS you click the green button or press ⌘F
You can then set each window into separate full screens/workspaces. I do this and then either use the Exposé feature to select the window, or just swipe with three fingers left or right to switch to the different windows.

Don't hate me, but yea I guess it is - It's just called "Enter Full Screen" in the Window menu. Hide Transport is also there - I swear years ago there was a triangle on the transport that allowed you to also collapse the Transport section (or am I on drugs?) from the UI, but now days it's menu only.

It's typically Control/Command/F in every app I'm familiar with, not Command F (because of so many existing uses for command F, commonly "Find"), but in Reason there isn't a key command associated with Full Screen Mode (unless you add it yourself).joeyluck wrote: ↑04 Dec 2020macOS has full screen mode.

Command F is the key command for Create FX in the browser, btw…

There are other vertical space optimization they should/could do.
Top of VST windows (and set to pinned by default).
Space between midi tracks (no space for audio tracks, but midi has unnecessary empty space)

Oh yeah...I forgot I added that one myself.

I'm on a Mac, and even though I can already run Reason in full screen mode, it could use a few tweaks to be properly useful:
1. Remember the full screen status, so it starts up properly in the correct screen mode when opening the software.
2. Allow for a single-screen mode. On a laptop screen, using the 3-way split of the rack, sequencer and mixer can get very crowded and cluttered (and those circle/half circle buttons are very unintuitive, and don't stay in one place), so instead I'd like to stay in one full screen layout, and switch between each mode (rack, sequencer, and mixer), completely filling the screen.
On a Mac you can use Exposé which will place each screen on its own virtual desktop, but that can get pretty flaky, especially when closing and opening several documents. Instead, why not have a fixed transport bar at the bottom, with three buttons to switch between each mode? Simple and clean.
In general, clutter management should be a high priority on the DAW.
