Well, at least they are not forced to use them. They are Free to do what they want :-) It's just that such a thing is not available yet IMHO, but it should be otherwise I think lots of good audio developers start wasting their time on the same thing: writing (sometimes ugly) widgets (hey its not ok to expect audio programmers to be masters in GUI too :) Paul: didn't you write some sort of a GUI widget for Ardour ?

Yup, code code code :) Once the code is there the rest is easy I think. >> So we are stuck basicly to implement >> these things for *all* the major toolkits, >> GTK, QT, etc. >Now theres the problem ;-) Well, we can start with one :) Rome wasn't built in a day ? regards Vincent
