Great LAF Examples anyone?

[d.healey]

@Straticah Snippets wouldn't show much, unless I made a LAF gallery or something. LAF is just a collection of functions that can be applied to controls. A lot the LAF in my project is on github - under the GNU GPL license.

@d-healey got it! Will look into those for sure, keep it up!

@Straticah I've just finished the design for my first ever plugin made with HISE. Its fully vectorized and features a dark mode + some paint routine animations that are controlled via the knobs. The filter panel is also customized via LAF and the preset browser also has some customization to fit the theme.

I've learned that most of the UI can be achieved with LAF and HISE (except masks for a layer that scale @Christoph-Hart :) ) but it just takes some creativity to and tricks to get the result you want.

@oskarsh How did you change the Draggable Filter band? Mine is Rounded Square , how did you manage to get circular ?

[oskarsh]

@DabDab
there you go

const localLaf = Content.createLocalLookAndFeel();
localLaf.registerFunction("drawFilterDragHandle", function(g, obj)
{	
	var area = [obj.handle[0], obj.handle[1], 26, 26];
	
	g.setColour(0XFFFFFFFF);
	g.fillEllipse(area);

	g.drawAlignedText(obj.index, area, "centred");
});

const var EQ = Content.getComponent("tile_eq");
EQ.setLocalLookAndFeel(localLaf);

@oskarsh Thank you so much. I didn't find this drawFilterDragHandle function at @Christoph-Hart documentations. Am I something missing?

Can anybody @d-healey @Christoph-Hart list all the new updated LAF functions which is available in master branch?

Previously I used to use Global LAF. Now there is Local LAF. So little deep, kindly get me all the updated functions.

@DabDab
You can use global LAF or localLAF. I recommend using local LAF for objectsthat are not repeated often. Objects that are used again and again like a button or knob should use global LAF.

"drawTableHeaderColumn",
"drawFilterDragHandle",
"drawFilterBackground",
"drawFilterPath",
"drawFilterGridLines",
"drawAnalyserBackground",
"drawAnalyserPath",
"drawAnalyserGrid"
"drawOscilloscopeBackground"
"drawOscilloscopePath"

Filter drag overlay and filter graph LAF methods

@orange Not yet as far as I know. The new functions are: "drawTableHeaderColumn", "drawFilterDragHandle", "drawFilterBackground", "drawFilterPath", "drawFilt...

@oskarsh Excellent. Thank you so much.

Can I change Label Righclick Pop up Menu background via LAF ?

[DabDab]

How can I change Filter BG Menu?

const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();

laf.registerFunction("drawFilterBackground", function(g, obj)
{
  g.fillAll(Colours.red);
	
});


laf.registerFunction("drawFilterPath", function(g, obj)
{
	g.setColour(0XffFFFFFF);
	g.drawPath(obj.pathArea,2);
	
});


Not working.

@orange Was this preset Browser made with LAF or did you build it from the ground up? Looks pretty cool with the icons at bottom and the modified search bar :)

@Straticah said in Great LAF Examples anyone?:

It has all of the components of the stock browser so my guess is it's LAF.

Yes it is LAF. In the documentation, you can find cool examples: https://docs.hise.audio/glossary/custom_lookandfeel.html#presetbrowser
