RE: CUE and LOOP-In/OUT
I do think the default rendering suits best (no images) - partly because of limitations in the subpixel rendering of the images.

For hotcues we allow to name hotcues (for now only in CUE tab of the tracks´ preferences). Adding an image will overwrite the hotcues´ label.
So + 1 for me here for default rendering.

For Loop-In, Loop-Out, and CUE points, i do think using images is not preferable for now, because of errors in the rendering of the images.

You can see it clearly when you have quantize enabled, and trying to exactly set a CUE image on a beat-grid. Even if your image is only 1px wide, it gets randomly placed left, right, or directly on the beat-grid line.

Skins that currently use marker images dodge this by making the vertical line off center, or 2+ pixel wide.

The different markers on the waveform can be customized to align to top|bottom|left|right. THey do not have to overlap. I do not see a need to aim for further customization (e.g. the mentioned vertical zones on the waveforms).

Marking this bug as FIX COMMITTED, since the original request has been fixed, and merged.
