LAF ScriptSlider?

[d.healey]

@DanH Yes we have a workaround - LAF :p

Solutions have been posted in this thread - https://forum.hise.audio/topic/3228/look-and-feel-toggle-buttons-and-the-midi-sources-panel/14

Basically you have to style everything yourself.

@DanH When you use a custom LAF you have to redesign the whole component as it starts from blank...

@ustk Thanks. I'll keep that in mind! So I guess as long as the animations show in my GUI they are working, right? Or would I discover non-compatible animations only on vst/au/standalone export? So much stuff to learn... 🤯

[ustk]

@vewilya yeah I guess if it works in the project you won't have issues…

[DanH]

@d-healey Yup get that, just doesn't seem to be anything for those boxes... Are they appearing in your project?

[d.healey]

@DanH Oh I see what you mean. I'm not using the settings tile so I hadn't noticed. You could paint a panel behind the settings tile.

[DanH]

@d-healey Oh I mean for the button boxes in general, like for the below.... I get a hover box, but normally there's a static grey box for these kind of options/buttons

[d.healey]

@DanH I think you need to customise the LAF for alert boxes.

This is why I think LAF isnt very nice. If you start to use it then you have to restyle every component that a plug uses - including all the ones you dont use in your interface.. so all the dialog boxes etc....

[DanH]

@Lindon any idea how to script these boxes?! :b

[d.healey]

@DanH I told you, it's the LAF for the alert boxes - https://docs.hise.audio/glossary/custom_lookandfeel.html#alert-windows

[DanH]

@d-healey hmmmm, I just can't see anything that refers to them. I think it's possibly in the source code, the font in the buttons is the Default font (I think), and there's no option to change that, or the colours in the script (I did, however, change the colours in the source code...)

Here is an example that will place boxes around the buttons in the Save XML popup. To style different popups you need to check the text property of obj and adjust the styling the way you like. As far as I can tell there is no way to change the button text colour or font (maybe the global font can do it)...

Oh I'm an idiot. There's a LAF function specifically for styling dialog buttons.

laf.registerFunction("drawDialogButton", function(g, obj)

Thanks David :)

[DanH]

@d-healey haha! this also affects the preset browser buttons! A real can of worms!

[d.healey]

@DanH You can filter out individual buttons by their text property, but I think an opt-in rather than an opt-out solution would be better... @Christoph-Hart

@d-healey Thanks, this has been an education (again!)

[Christoph Hart]

I've just commited a few changes that should reduce the sketchiness of the scripted LAF:

• The alert windows do not get messed up anymore as soon as you enable the scripted LAF
• same with the custom settings tile (actually I had to change the default appearance of that one a bit in order to enable this, but it looked super weird anyway with its default JUCE look and feel)
• there is now a parentType property that contains the ID of the FloatingTile that this component is in. This way you can do stuff like

if(obj.parentType == "CustomSettings")
    g.setFont("Comic Sans MS");
