Can a label be clickable?

[Morphoice]

@d-healey I was just wondering if it is possible to create an entire panel from script and not in the UI editor

@d-healey

I suppose it's

const var panel = Content.addPanel("Panel", 0, 0);

but getting the coordinates right will probably be a pain

@Christoph-Hart coming across this iconic example I wonder if we ever figured out whether Oxygen is compiled into the plugins by default or has to be added to the image directory in order for all distributions to show the correct font. and if not, what does it default to? please don't say Comic Sans

You can create an entire UI via scripting.

There's a whole documentation section about this: https://docs.hise.dev/scripting/scripting-in-hise/scriptpanel.html#use-the-"create-ui-factory-method"-tool

For positioning you can use maths. For example if you want a panel in the centre of the UI you could use

panel.set("x" UiWidth / 2 - panel.getWidth() / 2);
panel.set("y" UiHeight / 2 - panel.getHeight() / 2);

For your main interface you probably will want to stick to using the interface designer for most things, but for secondary scripts you should use scripting to create their UIs.

Probably whatever the OS decides. You should always include the fonts you want to use, just to be sure. Also be aware that if you're using fonts in paint routines they might look different on different operating systems, so you'll need to test and account for that.

@d-healey

so by default an

Engine.loadFont("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Fonts/Oxygen.ttf"); 

is generally a good idea at the start of the plugin, just to be safe?

Yes but no, loadFont is deprecated, you should use loadFontAs() instead. Only use Oxygen if that's the font you want to use.

loadFontAs

I see. So the bold version I load as "Oxygen Bold" etc.

[d.healey]

@Morphoice Yes, but you can use whatever name you like, here's an example - https://codeberg.org/LibreWave/RhapsodyBoilerplate/src/branch/main/includes/LookAndFeel.js#L22

it‘s a separate HISE instance.

Not really sure of that one... https://forum.hise.audio/topic/10665/warning-snippet-browser-overwriting-the-current-project/7

This will only lead us to dark places, let's get out while we can.

LOL thats so funny - MacOS users having to revert to the command line.....

well it's a unix based OS, using the terminal is normal to us ;)
In fact it felt way more weird when I had to do it on windows to concat some eprom bin files a few days ago

There is an easier method of running multiple instances of an application in macOS:

Make a copy of your application in the app folder, then open it.

I keep shortcuts for the two HISE apps on my desktop:
