I have been working on trying to get things closer since the time I posted that. So I will try to do more to fix this. I think that I will have to have different make scripts or something, because all the package depends are predetermined. I may be able to override it and tell the lmms packa

@Israel, So I'm a bit confused about this new lmms-vst package... I added lmms-vst-test and wasn't sure whether to install "lmms" or "lmms-vst" First I typed "sudo apt-get install lmms" but it listed Wine in the dependencies, so I canceled it not knowing if that was the right package or not. So

Tres, to be honest, I don't understand what you are suggesting here. Qt Designer has nothing to with any bundled libraries or the OS you're building on. Qt is cross-platform, it supports Mac natively. How is there a need for MacPorts? Also, this is off topic, we should continue discussing your ide

I would tend to agree with Vesa here on both points (consistancy, contrast). If the contrast is not high enough, we may wish to work with the background color of that dialog. I'm not opposed to using black for text in the interface (I actually prefer it) but at this point, even the volume knob ar

Hi, yes properties are better than value templates as the latter one lead to massive bloat, at least if you do not move the existing class to a non-templated parent class. I guess however that using template-classes is rather inconvenient, especially in Qt Designer even though I admit that paramet

The concept is the same, or very close to it. You make a fork on github commit your changes to the forked repo that you have then file a pull request to have your stuff merged to the main lmms repo. On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 3:06 AM, Israel wrote: > On 03/18/2014 08:28 PM, Vesa wrote: > > On 03
