This is a very cool synth!
It looks to me like the GUI communicates with the synth-engine using OSC.
If that's true, then someone who does not like the layout or look of the original GUI
could build their own completely custom GUI for it!
The Khagan tool for doing this uses GTK and GTK themes. Or someone who prefers PureData or
Ingen could probably control it with those too.
If I were to use it live, I'd probably not use the GUI at all, and instead use my
little python script that translates MIDI CC's to OSC messages, so I can use the
buttons and knobs on my Novation to control it.

wow, how does that happen, lol, it looks reverse in parts.
Now I start to understand your problems. So it seems that Arnolds wish
for customizing the colors is inherently in the FLTK toolkit and YES
there it is indeed, tell you a secret, something I wanted to get rid of
it but maybe a workaround till I got some time for a maintenance
release: you can customize the editor, I accidently discoverd it when I
started the editor with garbage as parameters, and forgot soon after:
options are:
-bg2 color
-bg color
-di[splay] host:n.n
-dn[d]
-fg color
-g[eometry] WxH+X+Y
-i[conic]
-k[bd]
-na[me] classname
-nod[nd]
-nok[bd]
-not[ooltips]
-s[cheme] scheme
-ti[tle] windowtitle
-to[oltips]
try starting the editor
like this
./miniEditor -bg grey -fg black
this should bring you closer to my vision (pun intended)
Hi
Yes, it is different to that, see:
http://www.postlude.co.uk/incoming/Screenshot-miniEditor.png because the text is barely readable. The typeface
is too small
does it on your computer looked different as the screenshot?
