Rosegarden zoom.

2008-01-09 Thread alex stone 
This is going to sound really, really, dumb, but i've been unable to find an
answer to this.

I'm trying Rosegarden 1.6.1 in UBS. So far so good, and everything seems to
work ok. (And a thank you and respects to the devs.)

But try as i might, i can't find out how to zoom the matrix editor, or
change the background colours in the ME and Main window to something
lesswhite. I've been through the manual, and asked around several
fora. The lines in the ME are too close together for me, and opening them up
a little would help considerably. I'm using the standard Gnome window, with
a few tweaks in Kcontrol to subdue the.white, as best i can. I don't
need a gothic view, just something a little more subdued.

Any help would be appreciated.

p.s. The update works pretty well here in UBS, but i get the occasional
sigrev error, when i try to add a couple of submasters to the existing
layout. Works with a reboot or two.

Alex.

D, no problem at all, and no need for apologies.
It's my first serious look at Rosegarden, and i've been impressed with what
i've seen so far. The 1.5.1 was a bit problematic, but this latest release
is a big step forward. Well done and thanks to you and the team. I do this
full time, (writing classical music) so any foray i make into software tends
to be in depth, and specific to what i'm trying to achieve.

I've located the horizontal zoom easily enough, and yes, it was vertical i
was chasing.
It's early days yet, and just maybe after getting the grid designations
assigned to Numpad KC's, and step inputting, i just might be alright anyway.
After all, no programme is all things to all users. Percentages, lol.
I've yet to find the backgrounds, but i'll have a fishing expedition through
the rose files and see which path i'm supposed to look in. (I'm still new at
linux.)

Thanks for the input.

Regards,

Alex Stone.

 It only zooms horizontally.  Looking at my working copy, I notice the zoom
 slider in the matrix doesn't have a label for some reason.  It just has
 the
 little slider widget with no explanation beside it.  Odd.  Could that be
 the
 case for you too, and you just missed it, or were you looking to zoom
 vertically?  I'm afraid there's some horrible technical reason why we
 can't
 zoom vertically yet.  I think QT4 will eventually fix that, but that port
 is
 at least a year in the future.

  or
  change the background colours in the ME and Main window to something
  lesswhite.

 The backgrounds are hard coded, and your only choices are white, or the
 textured background.

 Glad it's working for you otherwise, and sorry about the inconvenience
 here.

Settings - Configure Rosegarden - General Configuration.  They're on the 
Presentation tab.  Currently they are either on or off, and you can't change 
the bitmap used unless you hack the installed data files.
