This PR improves the usability of the instrument selector (pie menu) by making it feel less crowded and easier to read.

Changes made:

  • Increased the canvas size of the instrument pie menu for better spacing.
  • Increased the inner radius of the donut slice to reduce visual clutter and give more breathing room.
  • The result is a more natural, balanced, and readable UI for selecting instruments.

This makes the interface feel less claustrophobic, especially for new users and on smaller screens.

Fixes #4578

Thanks for pointing this out and sharing PR #5122.

I missed that this issue was already addressed there. I’ll close this PR and review the changes in #5122 to better understand the intended solution and design approach.

Really appreciate the guidance.
