Basically every toolkit out there has widgets fader, button, knob. So one you usually only has to reimplement the paint method in order to change the appearance or write a different style.
If you prefer a toolkit independent gui library you could use my stripped down version of the vstgui lib, which uses cairo as the drawing backend. Together with skinman and knobman, the two widely used windows programs for generating nice vst guis (running fine in wine) you have basically the same toolchain as the windows vst devs. Drumfix PS: Linux Vst developers, please write VST compliant code. The interface of effEditOpen is effEditOpen(void *), not effEditOpen(void *, void *) i.o.w hosts should send a pointer to a struct {Display *d; Window w;} in (ptr) instead of Display * (val) and Window (ptr) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
