I just committed a bag of experimental graphical interface changes to CVS.
It feels good to see you working on the GUI side.
While I was in there mucking about, I modified a few other things, following some of Apple's basic human interface guidelines: o On the Mac, the last three menus are "Audio Window Help" instead of "Windows Audio Help".
OK, here's a first problem: This breaks the layout of the PD main window, at least on Linux. We don't have a global menu at the top of the screen, so now the longer menu is wrapped into the to small pd window, which looks like sh*t. So either the menu for the main window must shrink, or the window must grow.
I also revisited JSarlo's gui patches, restoring the useful dark-yellow color on signal connections (but overlaying that on top of Miller's method for distinguishing them). I tweaked jsarlo's shadows on the Mac to make them look more like: http://mambo.peabody.jhu.edu/~jsarlo/gripd/linux1.jpg (The shadows on the Mac were separated from the box by one pixel, which is kind of odd. Movement still will cause the box and shadow to be separated, for some reason.)
Personally I don't like the shadows, they look cool, but thy clutter the patch area, that is always too small anyways. How could I get rif of them?
I tried to set these changes off with tags, but it looks like it didn't work (still have a lot to learn with CVS). All of these are in the devel_0_36 branch that Guenter described yesterday.
I want back my obj- and my bin-directory :)
Both are gone, is this my fault while checking things out?
