Well yes, that's basically it. A fx channel selector in the track
widget. Not for bb-tracks, only for instrument tracks. BB-tracks would
have their channel selectors in the instrument tracks inside them.

Most screens these days are at least 1300 pixels wide. 1024 is pretty
much obsolete these days.

I'm not saying we shouldn't support small screens though. That's what
the "compact mode" is for, and like I said, the fx selector could maybe
be omitted in compact mode.

Not really a fan. The current leds work fine IMO...
