Finally: Fully customize stock UI elements with a scripted LookAndFeel

[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

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

• 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.

Assuming this request didnt get executed? If so add my vote for it please.

hey @d-healey - is this in your latest commit? If not any chance of adding it?

[d.healey]

I think at this point it really would be best if Christoph could merge my branch into the official repo.

[d.healey]

@Christoph-Hart Who else needs to sign the agreement thingy for you to merge? I can send dogs after them if needed :)

[ustk]

@d-healey We were 3, two of us did it :)
@Levitanus doesn't seem to be an active member for a while...
Maybe Christoph could reach him by email? traditional mail? carrier pigeon?

[d.healey]

@ustk He's active on VI-Control. I'll send him a message there.

[Levitanus]

Hi, I'm ready to sign. Ohhh. How complicated things are... It's just few lines from the JUCE repo)
