3ds Max 2012 - change horizontal spinners to vertical spinners?

Ghostscape

just upgraded to 2012 from 2010 and I cannot fucking stand the caddies - I think the transparency makes them more awkward, but my real issue is I cannot stand the horizontal spinners.

Is there some way to change them to vertical spinners? I cannot imagine why they felt this was in any way a good UI choice, but Autodesk has never been known for their useful intuitive UI.

I can't stand the caddies either. I don't mind the horizontal spinners TOO much but it doesn't make sense when all the other spinners in Max are vertical.

I actually hate the text box at the top of the caddy more. Somehow it makes what are really simple operations seem quite confusing by constanly changing text as you move the mouse around the caddy.

Afaik, there's no way to revert. I somehow got used to it, but I was in rage when I first saw them too; so much for useless addictions to the app.

It even makes me click more than the previous input boxes, now when I type a numeric value I have to reclick the box to type another one... Time waste this 2012 caddie

Yeah, and tab or ctrl+tab doesn't work to jump cursor between input boxes.
