Yes I noticed this. In 0.20, pressing D while a recording is playing 
exited the recording and then showed the "Delete and re-record, Yes 
delete it, No keep it" menu (wording from memory), using the UI theme. 
In other words, it was the same menu as if you had stopped the recording 
and then pressed D.

Now in 0.21 when pressing D while a recording is playing the "Delete and 
re-record, Yes delete it, No keep it" menu pops up overlayed on top of 
the recording instead. I assume it is themed using the OSD theme. If 
it's not looking right for you, try changing OSD theme (not UI theme).

I'm not sure it was changed, but I actually think it looks quite nice. I 
wish more stuff was overlayed/mixed with the playing recording.

I have noticed a bug, though, namely that the OSD version always has the 
option to delete and re-record, even if that isn't valid for a 
particular recording rule. The UI version correctly misses out that 
option when appropriate. I haven't bothered to see if there's already a 
ticket for this, yet.

Cheers,

John
