Is it possible to resize the bar ruler in Logic 8?

In Logic 7 I was able to increase the size of the bar ruler, but in Logic 8 this function appears to have been overlooked. With my large monitor, the bar ruler in Logic 8 is TINY and it strains my eyes something awful. Plus, it takes a really steady mouse hand to set the cycle locators or the play head.

Does anyone know of a way to resize the bar ruler? Or do I have to cross my fingers and wait for an update?

2x3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Alby,

I thorouhly agree with you. Resizing the bar ruler was a nice feature that's been overlooked. Moreover clicking on the right or the left of the green cycle locators doesn't not switch it on or off as it used to be in Logic 7. I have to use " / " key to do it now.
And worst thing, L7 and L8 have inverted mouse scrool wheel zooming direction with <cmd>+<opt> on the bar ruler. And no way to configure it.

Glad you wrote. At least I'm not crazy. I'll submit a feature request to Apple. It must be an easy fix...

I've almost gotten used to not being able to toggle cycle mode by clicking in the bar ruler. Hopefully the old habit will go away completely. Sorry about the scroll wheel -- I used to use cntrl-drag to zoom and had to get used to cntrl-opt-drag, but I'm surviving. Overall, I'm starting to really love Logic 8.
