Finally: Fully customize stock UI elements with a scripted LookAndFeel

[Fortune]

It seems that Preset Browser goes first. Please please give the headroom to the developers for customization. It will be so useful if you add buttons like below image;

• New preset
• Save preset
• A, B compare
• Copy A to B

This shortcut buttons are for adding the top of the plugin GUI. (A/B compare button might not be useful for vst instruments but it is very useful for fxplugins and users are looking for this feature)

[Christoph Hart]

Alright preset browser methods are available (check the docs for detailed reference).

@Christoph-Hart Exciting news

[Brian]

@Christoph-Hart Dope! Just in time! :)

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart That's killer add-on!

I was thinking to a few new candidates among the FloatingTiles:

• AHDSRGraph & FilterDisplay => path thickness (+ few other things I need to check)

• MidiLearnPanel => column widths

Side request - can you make the midi learn panel even more useful by adding the ability to select the assigned CC from a right click menu? This will be very helpful for users who don't have many hardware controllers but still want to use CC automation in their DAW/host.

Is it possible to remove the green outline from tables?

[Christoph Hart]

They won‘t show up in the compiled plugin do they?

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Yup, you are correct, all is well :)

[Dalart]

Which version of HISE can I find this update in ?

[clumsybear]

Probably the latest, not sure if it’s on the scriptnode or the development branch though. You can always check the change log of the branches

[Dalart]

I'll have to give scriptnode a look, thanks.

[ustk]

Haven't tested it yet, but sure, it's in scriptnode already...
In fact, scriptnode is THE branch to use because it is the only one that is updated since a long time, and probably until the release of Hise v3 I imagine...

[Dalart]

@ustk Yeah I found it in scriptnode, now to find some tutorials or something to learn how to do this paint stuff.

I can recommend @d-healey s paint routine videos :)

[ustk]

@Dalart In the doc you'll find examples

[d.healey]

Found a bug. I customized a combo box to have an invisible background but this has also affected the rendering of HISE's windows.

Also I have a usability question. What happens if I want to customize two controls of the same type but have them look different? Is it possible to attach the paint routine to individual controls or must be use a control statement within the paint routine to determine how each control should be painted?

[Christoph Hart]

Nope, it overrides the global look and feel. However you can use the colour properties to customize individual UI elements at least a little bit.

Knobs/Sliders next please :D
