mainstream

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more conventional' is the definition.
'mainstream' can be an answer for 'conventional' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'more' bit.

'redesigned a mister man' is the wordplay.
'redesigned' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'mister'+'man'='amisterman'
'amisterman' anagrammed gives 'MAINSTREAM'.

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mainstream that I've seen before include "Conventional, normal" , "type of jazz" , "People representing most common ideas" , "In accordance with what is normal or standard" , "Current" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
