@d-healey thanks for that they also have reaper templates so should be able to use all of those, thanks.

@Christoph-Hart said in Designing / changing hise output vst basic setting panels / elements?: This. It's more powerful this way than a simple JSON system. Yet, I cannot trigger any buttons on the plugin´s "Install Samples" using the if(obj.text == "Install Samples") inside the laf.registerFunction("drawToggleButton", function(g, obj)function. Is that considered a drawDialogButton ? This one: Here I would like to: customize the look and line-breaks of the text line and also remove/hide the "install samples" button and customize the positioning of "Choose Samples folder". is the text in the image accessible? Is it a panel or an alert window? or alternatively entirely remove/suppress the entire panel with a flag in HISE settings, the HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_...=0 and then put the "Choose samples location" in my own settings panel on the UI. Is that possible? Or is that C++?

you're right
