Hi! All you lips-guys: I don't mean to be rude, but: Mario says, that all who don't like lisp, are those, who don't know (or don't understand) it. And in the case of extending ardour, that's just the point. I know a lot of people, who have a lot of dificulties to use scheme-languages, yet concerning imperative or object-oriented langauges (like c,c++,java,python...) they show a nice learning curve and easier success. But that's just btw. Mario: I definitely second your statement: It's not good, when programmers just think they use a certain toolkit and their apps are console-compatible, instead of writing a text-ui. Because of this concern it was, that the idea of libcui came to life in a way. I wanted to create a relatively easy-to-use and easy-to-understand API for creating text-based UIs (where easy is from the GUI-programmer's point). That's why I considered checkboxes, buttons and other such widgets instead of command-prompts, shell-structures and the like. Regarding the pint design for blinds. Not only. It should be blind-friendly, but besides that, it should also provide it a bit of eye-candy (where possible in console mode).
