i think it's about time to switch to Live 10, since the new 10.0.3 release seems to have fixed many bugs.

the thing is that i'm currently working on a maxforlive project, (Live 9, Max 7) with quite a big user interface. i'm afraid that switching to Live10/Max8 will force me to "fix" the interface, as has happened before, when switching from max6 to max7. for example, sizes of objects or fonts, shapes and colours and other small details had made the UI look weird and forced me to re-make the UI.

will the same happen if i switch to Live10/Max8?

No one knows, Max8 has not been released yet, 'word on the streets' is: it failed a clinical trial and was rejected by the FDA, so Cycling74 must go back to the drawing board to revamp its new vision-and-spinal-correction technology(a new addition in Max8 that allows you to sit hunched over and staring at your computer for hours with minimal damage to your spine or vision... unfortunately, the technology is rumored to have caused sterility in test cases, though c74 failed to comment, members of the community allege that most of us, simply out of years of social-awkwardness, loneliness, neglect, and holding a warm laptop on our sweaty, withering private parts are probably sterile to begin with and wonder if c74 had even tested for this 

 the beta-testing began... in any case, it was not up to FDA standards by the time the clinical-trial/beta-test was complete).

My guess is, though, that you will find the transition from Max7 to Max8 pretty smooth(look at the performance-speed video on the homepage now, it shows the two being compared side-by-side and most changes seem like improvements under-the-hood to speed-up interactivity and focus on performance boosts... it'll be hard to resist if you're a big user-interface... uh... user). PLUS! there's that vision-spinal-viagra thingamajig i mentioned before that i heard about from my best-friend's used-to-be-housemate-from-way-back-when's cousin's sister's ex-wife's nephew's pet-hamster's friend's owner's sister's automechanic, so you KNOW that shit's gotta be legit!

How to install external shaders in Max 7? 

I was trying to make the v001 shaders active to no avail. Afterthat, I tried to put them in Documents/Max7/Packages. Anyone has a clue to this?

If you look at the preview videos, you'll see that the interface isn't changing in a significant way like it did in 7.

Regarding the "hidden features" mentioned above, I heard from a friend's neighbour of a relative's cousin that it is indeed all true!

The transition of 6 to 7 was a desaster for me, because a lot of backward compatibility issues prevented me from switching fast... 

Now I don‘t see much of that sort of problem, but as Max 8 will have new technologies I was waiting for since ages, I can get rid of all those workarounds I developed in the past years. It will be much work, but its well appreciated... It will boost the reliabilty of my monster patches big time and will make them easier to maintain...

the look of fonts is one of the main problems on my side.

it is almost impossible to make a patcher with numberboxes and umenus which works the same in max 4, max 5, and max 6/7 without the use of bpatcher and/or different subpatch versions for different max runtimes.

for "normal" patches max 7 at least has a superb zooming - without programmatic controlling option, but it works out most of the time. 

but as soon as you work with something "GUI", this doesnt really help.

this is nothing new but i fell like repeating it: the default font is unreadable since max 5. there is nothing worse than systemwide font smoothing IMO.

as soon as i use a modern version of max i feel like using GL or something for fonts in the GUI, because the other methods only give me blurred hyroglyphes.

@Roman.... whoa you're giving me a serious flash back to David popping on the forum, saying FINE!!!!, and adding the font antialiasing option.
