@ustk said in Simple question: How do I change the color of the button state light?:

@VirtualVirgin just use the alpha for the background as well

laf.registerFunction("drawToggleButton", function(g, obj) { //g.setColour(obj.bgColour); g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.bgColour, obj.value ? 1.0 : 0.5)); // <= this instead g.fillRoundedRectangle(obj.area, 4.0); /* This is not needed since you do it right above, no matter if the button is clicked/hover or not if(obj.over) g.fillRoundedRectangle(obj.area, 4.0); if(obj.down) g.fillRoundedRectangle(obj.area, 4.0); */ g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.textColour, obj.value ? 1.0 : 0.5)); g.setFont("Arial Bold", 14.0); g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "centred"); });

Thanks! This works just as I expected.

@d-healey Makes sense thank you! 👍

@orange said in Very newb question: how do I load an image file?:

@VirtualVirgin Copy the image file to the project's Images folder. After that, you can change all of the properties with setPropertiesFromJSON easily. I also added Width and Height for example.

const var VVLogo = Content.getComponent("VVLogo"); Content.setPropertiesFromJSON("VVLogo", { "width": 150, "height": 150, "fileName": "{PROJECT_FOLDER}VV_logo.jpg" });

Thank you :)
Yes, this solved it!

@d-healey yes. The project needs at least one expansion.

@d-healey said in Style Value Popup?:

@Straticah I don't think there are any other properties you can change. The popup should be horizontally centred by default, it could be that the width of your knob is not evenly divisible by 2.

You could instead create the popup using laf. In Sordina I replaced the text label with the value, but you could place it above the knob like a popup - this means the clickable area of your knob will be larger though which isn't always desirable.

damn that's beautiful! brilliant usability and clarity

I think Christoph's post was about a custom preset system in addition to a custom preset browser - I can't remember.

It's quite simple to do what you want though I think.

Start by adding a combo box that shows the list of presets.

Engine.getUserPresetList() will probably be your friend here.

Then add a save button, if that's something you need. I made a video about this:

@Lindon weren't those the Thiran all-pass? what am I mixing up here? It does indeed sound better.

@aaronventure Definitely a bug. But random.
I think the probability of doing this increases as the network becomes more complex.

@Onik-Sisodiya What is the reason that you don’t want to use LAF for it?

@griffinboy unintentional, I'm just obsessed with pink and purple colors ;)))

@mmprod This is awesome - much appreciated!

@orange @d-healey thanks for the clarification! ive had issues with Cpanel in the past...but it's been pretty rock solid for the last year or so!

@aaronventure said in QoL compile messages in the console...:

@Matt_SF I remember asking for a Engine.isInitialized() method that would return true after init is done and all saved components have been called, but no response from @Christoph-Hart

This would easily allow for gating in these scenarios, and others. Changed() has use beyond just calling the function, it sets focus to the component and sets the last touched envelope for the DAW,

yeah - -but this doesnt work...If Im trying to debug something in the widget on init, then I have no way of gating so it appears and the messages dont, same for Olie's solution to Console.clear() - now I cant debug init phase events...

Nope - I would like it to go back to the old way where this message wasnt shown - Im more than happy to have some pre-processor compile time definition for this SHOW_INIT_SKIP_MESSAGES = 0
@Christoph-Hart ???

@d-healey the memory is really stupidly fast, though.

If you get the trim with the most memory, you can run beefy LLMs on it well, for a lot less money than what it would cost to get the enterprise Nvidia cards and build the system around them, and with better resale value at that.

If capacity is a bigger issue like for sample libraries, then yeah, I agree. Though I haven't tried using page file to supplement, as storage these days is above ddr2 speeds.

I've succeeded to do this with setMultiGroupIndex, but not with setMultiGroupIndexForEventID. But still looks fine. Maybe there is a sense to check the behavior of the last one?

@ulrik yup this is what I was after! much simpler than I thought! and yes I meant a "Standalone application" so sorry...been separating the two versions of the plugin in my head as "Plugin" and "standalone mode" sorry...Thanks again...gonna play with this and test to make sure it's all good! but so far so good!

both versions insert new text. Removing "showTextbox" from the editor, both solutions work.

many thanks to both. @Lindon @ustk

@ustk Yeah it's really nice, Brian at Mntra put me onto it
