Hi back, o.k. I spend a little time reading and experimenting with UI-Toolkits (please keep in mind that my app-programmingskills are limited) and have the following thoughts:
- for the UI we will mainly need sliders and knobs - the UI should be lightweight to run several plugins per song/track - as far as I have seen only 2 UI-toolkits have knob-widgets include in the standard lib and that are FLTK and Qt - gtkmm has no knobs but with gtk and cairo I can draw some -> brummer, the dev of guitarix gave his o.k. to use his knobs and sliders regarding my programming skils: - FLTK is ... less documented (to be polite) .... development unsure - Qt is big, unless we say that most people use QJackCtl, then Qt support is installed anyway - gtkmm sits on top of gtk and the most designfiles are kinda "closed source" .o I think my first step will be to redesign the FLTK-UI and make it more Zynaddish / Yoshish keeping the nice PPG colors Work began yesterday - be polite - this is my first UI ... I will add a "soundchooser" like in zynadd so that we can create banks and a "midi-map" window. regards, saschas _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
