If I open the settings for a standard ardour plugin with the regular plugin gui, I can move a few “drawbars” and toggle some other settings.
If I toggle a setting, it will likely change color to indicate the status of that toggle but the change is only visible if I move my mouse away from the toggle.
I think that is a bad way to handle the color.
My opinion is that the color should be showing the correct status regardless mouse hovering or not.
@ahellquist: most “stateful” buttons in ardour3 have been reimplemented entirely to tackle this problem, which is a design flaw in the GUI toolkit we use. However, not all of them. The remaining ones will transition over before we get to 3.0.
@paul: I noticed that some buttons were changed and I’m glad the rest will follow.
I’m eagerly following the new betas and will most likely suggest something more in the near future.
