Ok well I uninstalled Poser 8 and then reinstalled it to a different directory. It seems to be able to run simultaneously with Poser Pro 2012 now. So that's solved.

However, looking at the Poser 8 interface after so long, it looks a little primitive. Is there no way in Poser 8 to have the editing tools in 2 rows of 6 instead of a long row of 12? It stretches across the screen too much and takes up too much space. Same with the document display style toolbar.

And is there no way to have the parameter dials display permanently under the library on the bottom right hand side of the screen as in Poser Pro 2012? I also wish the main window didn't float on Poser 8.

And what about the main menu at the top which says Pose, Material, Face, Hair, Cloth etc? Can that somehow be pulled over more to the left on Poser 8 so that it resembles Poser Pro 12? It's too much in the centre of the screen and not an efficient use of space.

 

Thanks
