Look and Feel - Toggle Buttons and the MIDI Sources panel...

Casey Kolb

Whilst I'm sure this works I have discovered a huge tranch of my current problems with HISE (failing to save, locking up etc.) all go away when I stop using LaF, so I've decided that LaF is "broken for me" - and I will use discreet panels to get the visual layout I want.

Yikes! Very strange indeed. I've used just about all the possible LaF's on my project and haven't experienced this. I wonder if it's an OS version thing?

Christoph Hart

One thing to keep in mind (I think I've mentioned this in the docs) is that the methods that you give the LAF object must never access script variables outside their scope. These functions are executed directly in the UI rendering and everything else in HISE is being executed on a dedicated thread and is more robust in the sense that there aren't too many weird concurrency issues.

@Christoph-Hart - yeah that aint it.. here's my entire LaF code:


laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuBackground", function(g, obj)
{
    g.fillAll(0xFF222222);
    g.setColour(0x9F5AC4EC);
    
    g.drawRect([0, 0, obj.width, obj.height], 1);
});

laf.registerFunction("drawPopupMenuItem", function(g, obj)
{
    var a = obj.area;
    var h = a[3];
    
    if(obj.isSeparator)
    {
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawLine(a[0]+10, a[0] + a[2]-10, a[1] + a[3]/2, a[1] + a[3]/2, 1.0);
        return;
    }
    
    if(obj.isTicked)
    {
        g.setColour(0x9F5AC4EC);
        g.fillEllipse([a[0] + h/3, a[1] + h/3, h/3, h/3]);
    }
    
    g.setFont("Verdana", 16.0);
    
    if(obj.isHighlighted)
    {
        g.setColour(0x9F5AC4EC);
        g.fillRect(obj.area);
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, [a[0] + h, a[1], a[2] - h, a[3]], "left");
    }else{
        g.setColour(Colours.white);
        g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, [a[0] + h, a[1], a[2] - h, a[3]], "left");
    }
});

laf.registerFunction("drawToggleButton", function(g, obj)
{
    var a = obj.area;
    if (a[2] == a[3])
    {
        g.setColour(Colours.darkgrey);
        g.drawEllipse([1,1,a[2]-3,a[3]-3], 2);
        if(obj.value)
        {
            g.setColour(obj.bgColour);
            g.fillEllipse([4,4,a[2]-9,a[3]-9]);
        }
    }else{
        if (obj.value)
        {
            g.setColour(Colours.grey);
            g.setFont("Verdana Bold", 14.0);
            g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "centred");
            g.setColour(obj.bgColour);
            g.drawLine(0, 76, obj.area[3]-5,obj.area[3]-5, 4);
        }else{
            g.setColour(Colours.grey);
            g.setFont("Verdana Bold", 14.0);
            g.drawAlignedText(obj.text, obj.area, "centred");
        
        }
    }
});

You can reset the look and feel

How?

ustk

@d-healey I might have wrong but I think Christoph's saying you can comment out the custom LAF and re-activate it when you're ready to export your plugin.

d.healey

@ustk Nope, that doesn't reset it.

Docs aren't helpful either - https://docs.hise.audio/working-with-hise/menu-reference/view/index.html#reset-custom-look-and-feel

And I've got the same problem as @Lindon. I'm not even using LAF for comboboxes in my script.

@Christoph-Hart - In fact as soon as you add this line const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel(); to your script and compile it will turn all of the settings floating tile comboboxes black, try it yourself.

Update:
Look what I found :) Doesn't fix the settings panel though.

Try this.... ..
IF it doesn't work save the XML close HISE and reload the project/open XML.

@Rudra-Ghosh but I want to use laf, if I comment it out and reset that doesn't fix the problem. Or will it be okay in the exported plugin?

A Former User

@d-healey Yes... LAF is okay in Exported plugins too.

In such case you will need to reopen HISE.

What I mean is that hiding the problem is not a solution.

Are you saying that with laf enabled and the settings panel combo boxes black, I can export the plugin and the settings panel will look normal again?

A Former User

@d-healey If you enable Laf register....you will get black box until or unless you write

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0xFFF7B7C7);

A Former User

@d-healey I didn't hide anything...didn't hide black combobox either. If you write

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0x00F7B7C7); // make transparent

});

A Former User

Works perfectly in DAW

d.healey

So in order to use the settings tile I have to make all combo boxes transparent and then redraw the settings tile using a panel and a paint routine?

A Former User

@d-healey Not only transparent, you can select any Combobox/Custom settings panel color from the code.

laf.registerFunction("drawComboBox", function(g, obj) {
 .........rest of the code
    g.setColour(0xFFC7D1D6);
});

const var laf = Engine.createGlobalScriptLookAndFeel();

Always override the default LAF. So you don't need to write Paint routine to draw combobox. The default combo box will be overridden by the drawComboBox
