Editor look and feel


#1

Hi, there is a (simple) way to customize the editor interface?
something like change the knob, add a graphic part for the envelope etc?
I I looked at the code but not being an expert does not know where and what to change. But I'm a web developer and I'd like to customize the interface.

simple is relative to your experience in Java smile

yes, its quite simple if you have done some work in Swing before.. all the controls are in components.control and you just need to change the PaintComponent method.

I would advise against just changing it for your own use though, rather work with us, so that your changes can be incorporated in the main code line... of course this implies, that they are useful to all, and not very specific to your needs.

(if you don't, the issue is, if we change the components in the future, they will quite likely break your changes, and you will be forced to rework your changes... such is the nature of forking projects, and not contributing back)

ok, i understand.. i have to learn java and.. swing.
I hoped it would be easier, for example, with vector graphics or xml definition file
it would be nice and easy to create skins
