Best question I have ever heard. I love clients.

Answer yes... Gaffer tape? It fixes everything, and if it doesn't, it isn't worth fixing.

(sorry, worst answer ever... good luck)

Yeah, I thought he was joking with me, but he wasn't. I probably should use gaffer tape on this client instead...

Tell them they are part of your tools that allow you to do your job properly and to close their eyes if they don't like it!!

The meter bridge of all things...

I light up all the meters on our CS2000 even when it's not in use just because it looks cool!

Yes, I've already tried to tell him that, but he claims that the meters "kills his creativity". I must say that I never thought I'd see the day...

Yeah, I know. It's bizarre. Guess I shouldn't use Vegas mode around this guy.

rotflol - that's really a good joke at the late evening

Thx for making my evening.

Beside that, maybe you can use a nice wooden plate which will cover the meters. Looks a bit more "professional" than gaffer tape.

If his icon meters are bugging what does his computer screen do to him. If they bug that much I'll be happy to take it off his hands.
