Hi Malte, Thanks for making this available. It compiled smoothly on my machine. On Thu, 2008-02-21 at 17:44 +0100, Leslie P. Polzer wrote: I agree with this.

That's approximately what it looks like here, yes. And I can't really use this for more than one minute. Note that I'm average at best with my 1280x1024 resolution, others have much higher resolutions. Thank you :) Leslie -- My personal blog: http://blog.viridian-project.de/

Am Donnerstag, 21. Februar 2008 schrieb Malte Steiner: Well, the font-size is definitely to small! While I understand that you want to fit as many controls on screen as you can, why can't you use a floating layout where elements are ordered with respect to their and their neighbors size? That would allow variable font-sizes. And maybe use a good looking toolkit. Gui's like that are the reason that many people say that linux is old and don't want to switch. Take a look at KDE4: Linux is actually sexy. Now compare that to your screenshot... You might also want to switch to a toolkit that supports font-anti-aliasing.

You don't need to have a super-duper-styled gui. Actually pixmaped guis are bad, so much for the moog-approach... But do yourself and your apps users a favor and follow some hig-rules. And use a layout that is re-sizable at least in some extend. And (dynamic) font-resizing is one of the small features (in a good toolkit that one comes "for free", you don't need to do anything) that improve usability a lot without adding much work...

Which is better than e.g. earlier versions of Ardour. The GUI could use a little more of the soft colors used for some of the knobs, but I prefer it by a large margin to any 'sexy' KDE / Qt style contraption I've ever seen.

On Qjackctl I can make the connection from my usb midi keyboard ok, but the audio connection is not possible, no doubt due to the zombified jack. No such problem with the install I've done on Debian Etch, and minicomputer plays fine, apart from finding out how to get sounds out of it, now resolved. Nigel.

I have since created a couple of patches, nothing special, and can't get any realistic piano sounds, but I don't think that this synth is going in that direction. All the same there are some realy nice default sounds. I have a question though. There is a nice desktop icon in the tarball, and would like to start minicomputer, and miniEditor from the desktop. I have no problem with miniEditor because I can close it on the GUI, but the only way I can close minicomputer is with a CTRL +C on the konsole where I started it. Perhaps I'm asking a bit much here, but is there a way to launch minicomputer, and miniEditor from the desktop, then be able to shutdown both miniEditor, and minicomputer when clicking on the close (X) on miniEditor. Just a questiion, and comments welcome. Nigel.

Jamie Bullock wrote: 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) Cheers, Malte -- Malte Steiner media art + development -www.block4.com- next event: 29.feb Notstandskomitee live at Linux Audio Conference Cologne, Germany

A couple more UI suggestions: - Even with the correct colours, I still think the typeface is too small - it would be good to have a 'test note' button for quickly auditioning sounds.

Hello, Yes, the parameters/messages are explained in the manual, hope its clear enough, if not drop me a mail. Yep, the power of open source. Everything is there and documented! I have to investigate but tested it on Ubuntu so it should work. A 1.1 update is due but I have to see when, preparing now for my gig at LAC.
