It's kind of an interesting looking effect. Like
when you start
hitting 0.0dB on the mixer, the entire UI starts shaking around like
it's having an earthquake. But only when it's loud. Clearly an
extension of this feature should be added to window managers: shake
the window of your DAW whenever you clip inputs or outputs on your
soundcard. :-)
An interesting toy and possibly helpful for beginners too.
Also, after seeing your snapshots with the
"dark" background graphics,
I decided to let a gnome style pick a pair of contrasting colors for
me. so now I'm using the following foreeground/background pair:
widget->style->text_aa[GTK_STATE_ACTIVE]
widget->style->text_aa[GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT]
(the L/R meter pair for the digital mixer pair are the same color as
all the other meters)
Comments on this approach? The color choice is truly milquetoast now!
But also visible, soothing & functional:

Looks good. I did some work at the end of last year to add a glassy tube
type effect to jackEQ's meters. It would be cool to get that combined with
your efforts.
