You can already do this: Preferences -> GUI -> startup interface New users get this choice when they install as well. > > I find the LiVES interface quite cluttered, and not very self explanatory. > Perhaps > > it would look better without the LIVES banner, and with the different > > sections having headings and icons? > > What do you mean by "sections" ?

I guess there could be an option to not show the info messages at the bottom, but personally I don't find it annoying, and in multitrack, you can always grab the divider and shrink it anyway. > > Could there be a competition for LiVES users to design a new GUI - perhaps > > it could be a late 1.# or 2.0 milestone? > > Maybe, but there is really a lack of developer time to implement this. We have now 3 new LiVES developers, who I will be intoducing shortly. Alex K who is working on Preferences enhancements, Alex P who is working on various text overlays, and Surya who will be working first on mouse control and painting-on-frames. For my part, after the next release (1.3.3) I will have little time for LiVES for the next few months, as I have a GSOC project to work on, and I will be spending 2 - 3 days a week giving a course on analogue synths. Gotta pay the bills somehow ;-) Cheers, Gabriel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Lives-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lives-users
