George and anyone else that is curious.

Bob gave me the ok to post code samples so here are three things I am using for the Mixer Channel Name. This is from the previously displayed pic with the 12 aux sends.

#namebox is the graphic that creates the outline around the text. It is completely transparent except for the line around the outside.

#channelname is the text itself. You change from vertical to horizontal by changing the text direction value. You would also have to change the geometry values to match. The first two numbers are the coordinates for the top left corner, and the second two are the width and height.

#colorbox is the widget that allows you to right click in the mixer channel and set a color for the text window background. Notice it is sized basically the same as the channelname.

#namebox {
widget-type: IMAGE-WIDGET;
identifier: 9;
geometry: 4, 669, 24, 132;
background-image: touch/name-box-132.png;
}
#channelname {
widget-type: NAME-BUTTON;
command: 0x0004;
geometry: 9, 673, 20, 124;
text-font: Helvetica;
text-direction: 0;
text-font-size: 14;
text-font-bold: true;
text-font-italic: false;
modify-color: true;
}
#colorbox {
widget-type: COLOR-WIDGET;
identifier: 1;
geometry: 5, 670, 22, 130;
}

It's not really that hard especially if you are reworking an existing one.
I do alot of copy and paste to save time....

Decided to add a sample pic to help see it.

Nice.

Shame he didn't go all the way and make it JSON formatted.

Brett, I remember reading somewhere that a study had found that Verdana, Arial and Courier were the most easily readable fonts.

Don't get me wrong, I think your work looks great, I'm just passing on a little snippet of info that you may or may not find useful. I have no idea if it holds true in this application.

You're not getting data from a server so why complicate it. Also, the example Brett showed is a snipped from a much larger, multi layered file. JSON falls apart when you get a lot of non-similar items packed in varying levels of nesting.

On the whole, this file structure is very readable, easy to reuse (as Brett has done countless times to make similar but tweaked versions of the same basic data), and above all, is VERY fast to parse and load. The performance of this UI is going to blow you away.

I've been running it on a machine we used to run SAC on and my typical load is about half of what SAC ran, while the latency is less than half (more like a third) of what it was. I just happened to fire it up on my SAC rig last night. With 64 I/O defined, and 0x64 buffers, my DSP was only at 10% - instead of the usual 35-45 on SAC - and that is still running it single core/thread.

Arial and Helvetica are virtually the same font...
Windows substitutes Arial for Helvetica if it is not on the system, like mine.
