I got the PP2010 beta and, sadly, it would appear they did not change that way-too-tiny slider bar. I quit using P8 (except for dynamic cloth) for this reason. I'm hoping PzDB comes through with their upgrade so I can just drag and drop into the PP 2010 stage and avoid that horrible GUI. Now this is just a first-blush look. If they made it more configurable...then I'll be back to sing its praises.
