Secondly, the new additions to window management in Windows 11, have added a comprehensive set of features to split screen UI between two or more apps. It seems that the way to solve this is to redesign the pro tools windows to have multi monitor support. This is only restrictive and counterintuitive for production and efficiency, seeing as having multiple monitors is not something that pro tools has the ability to take advantage of. Instead, it relies on a parent / child window style of management that forces this legacy element onto the Pro Tools experience. Unlike most modern creative apps, Pro Tools does not offer a meaningful degree of multi monitor support at all. Upon further reading, I believe this is actually the result of how windows are managed within Pro Tools.

However, every subsequent pro tools update then on that changed the UI, including the addition of a dark theme overhaul, it did not change the vista borders at all. So it stands to reason that, the way you get rid of the Vista borders is to just update the UI. Nowhere else in the OS is this Windows Vista element shown, which initially led me to believe that Pro Tools itself was specifically coded to have the vista style borders. Moreover, I cannot stress enough just how important it is for a well established piece of professional software such as Pro Tools having a considerable amount of problems with UX design (specifically on Windows) that ultimately does not bode well for what should be regarded as a modern, reliable, and ultimately stable experience.įirstly, the elephant in the room: the title in this post describes an underlying element of the way Pro Tools windows are managed. Although most of the issues that will be listed here are superficial, there are some problems that have an adverse effect on the usability of Pro Tools itself. This post will be a slightly more comprehensive list of the pro tools optimizations for the Windows platform, or lack thereof.
