Well, I can’t say I’m overwhelmed by the beautiful lightshow you now get moving the mouse across an arrangement. I could probably enjoy it more if it had a short fade-in/out time, but that’d be too much to ask.
Are you saying that you’d rather not have the highlighting? I made it for consistency with the note event highlighting. I’m planning to add it to the tempo and marker events as well. Further down the line I’ll probably remove the remnant black frame highlighting.
– A problem I’ve occasionally had in the note editor seems to have found its way into the arrangement view now, too. Namely, short events are drawn in a weird way. It’s also very hard to see when they’re selected:
It’s because the new side edges are darkened more than the previous 4-side frame. I’ve now compensated for this by reducing the darkening when the event is less than 4 pixels wide, on both track and note events.
– With a color scheme using bright text on dark backgrounds, notes and event names expand beyond the event borders. Also, the event name box seems offset from the start, resulting in 1px of waveform not being dimmed:
That’s on purpose. The miniature note events have always overlapped the frame. The dimming of the background below the text now has a border of 2 pixels. I found I preferred this look, and it has the benefit that the background is not dimmed when the event is less than 3 pixels wide, as per your previous issue with darkened short events.
– At first glance, I liked the softly colored edges of adjacent events better than the clear-cut almost black lines, although I guess it does make for a better visual separation and I’ll quickly come around to prefer it. It looks weird though sometimes, as the backdrop of the event name, phantom copy and mute symbol seem to overlap the right edge (as mentioned above):
I’ve now shrunk the header area with 1 pixel, so that it does not overlap the right side dark edge. I agree that this provides better separation of joining events.
– There’s a bump at the top on fades and crossfades. Don’t see it? Let’s zoom in. 😛
I’m not seeing anything unusual. What bump are you referring to?
– Events look like they’re shrinking when you hover over them (this actually was the same before, but not as noticable):
Yes. Further down the line, I’ll find an alternative to the black frame highlighting. I left it in, because it is a help when editing crossfades.
Fix: The track event background color is now painted properly when only part of the event is record enabled with punch-in and punch-out.
Nice! But It’s still off with overlapping events:
This is a consequence of the way I layer the painting. Perhaps you can set up a poll asking if people would prefer I redesign this, rather than implement time-stretching 😉
I have a question at the end: Maybe I’m completely crazy, but weren’t there “Undo/Redo Inside” menu entries in the event right-click menu until one or two versions ago!?
They disappared a while ago, in one of the cleanups of the edit menu.
