Hmm... one more reason to switch to gtkmm already. I just figured I would start learning gtk+ to limit myself to C, but I am already thinking about using custom widgets. I hear this is a drag in gtk+ alone.
Also, Paul, I will admit that one of the deciding factors for me choosing gtk over other toolkits is that it may allow me to one day help out on the ardour project. Would you mind pointing me towards the widget you wrote in gtkmm, this is if you wouldn't mind me using it? Full credits will of course be given for the creator. cheers, Rich On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 7:10 PM, Paul Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sat, 2008-05-31 at 19:30 -0700, Rich E wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I am a happy user of Miller Puckette's Pure Data (pd) for real-time > > audio processing, but not too happy with the interface, which uses the > > tk toolkit.
