Skins????

This may seem a bit minor, but a nice skinning system would be terrific. Basically, it would allow all of us to customize freestyler's interface to a format that will work the way we want it to. I have a feeling this idea has been tossed about some lately, but I figured i'd throw my hat in the ring if it had already been mentioned. I do a lot of on the fly line work where I need to have complete live control, but never have things where I want them. I do use some controllers and am looking into some that will solve the bulk of my problems, but i figure this might be cool as well.

understandable. Just an idea.

Something else that I'm not sure if it's already a feature and i can't find it or haven't assigned it yet would be a crossfader. Such as to go from scene to scene or even one color to the next. Does this exist or is it a possibility?

These is not a 'crossfader' as such in FS. Although I can see the benifit if your gonna use it for theatre.
If you want to go from a static scene to another static seen then create one squence of the two scences, set up a nice fade time and manually trigger the steps.

If you want to step to next colour (or gobo) then there are some keyboard shortcuts that can be assigned to do this (and much more).
If you can get a BCF2000 midi controller the FS will allow you to do loads more (in fact you can control most features this way).
You can pick them up for around £100 and it gives you a 'real hands-on' desk to play with which may make the whole program more useful to you.
