Overall
1. I've been using the Fusion tab a lot and really appreciate the memory usage indicator. This is something that could potentially be useful in other tabs. If this were integrated into the bottom area by the project settings and project manager.
2. There's an option to mute audio in every tab but Fusion and while I'm aware that they're not all linked in the way the Volume and DIM options are in the Edit and Fairlight tabs, integrating these options into the bottom bar and making it a global volume setting would be a great way to reduce redundancy.
3. The additional real estate that the full screen mode provides is awesome but there should be an option to hide the top toolbar as well. The Resolve logo at the bottom left could become a clickable dropdown containing the options that are in the current "Davinci Resolve" dropdown as well as a few other settings that would normally be in the toolbar.
Edit
This one has been suggested a bunch of times already but, allow the middle area to be hidden. Many of these options don't even really need to be completely hidden from view, just placed elsewhere.
For example:
Fusion
No, I'm not gonna mention the toolbar in the center, I can see that can already be disabled. Instead, I'm gonna suggest that Blackmagic take a cue from Fusion 9 and put the timeline at the bottom but allow it to extend beneath the Inspector. Timelines are always easier to use when they take up as much horizontal space as possible and the Inspector takes up that space when it's open. By placing the timeline at the bottom, you can not only combine it with the status bar, but the vertical space it takes away from the node options is blank in most cases so there's often no loss.

For example:
- a. People have already mentioned that zoom slider kind of sucks and would be better if combined with the scroll bar.
- b. The Insert/Overwrite/Replace Clip options are really only applicable to the clips in the source viewer so implement them into the controls there.
- c. The flags and markers are only really applicable to the timeline being viewer in the Program monitor so place them in the controls there.
- d. The Timeline View Options can be placed next to the left of the time code indicator. It might be a tight squeeze but there space is there. It can then just become Timeline Options and include..
- e. The Snapping, Linked Selection, and Position Lock options as they're specific to the timeline.
