There are too many places where the firmware uses popup windows that cover most of the screen and continue to cover it until a timeout.
For example, changing the volume results in a large popup that shows the current volume level. You can disable this popup in CPS, but it's not the only one like this. And if you disable the volume popup you lose useful information.
For example, if you change the volume and then someone talks on a DMR talkgroup, you may miss their station information on the display, because the volume popup is covering it.
There are several ways this could be improved. One possibility would be to use the bottom line of the display (where it has the Menu/Zone/List labels) for these popups instead of covering nearly the entire screen. For the volume display, you would just use the "bar" section of the popup here. The volume icon is not needed at all - obviously if I'm rotating the volume knob, I know I'm changing the volume, it's just helpful to see the current volume level - and a simple bar at the bottom would be plenty good for this.
