I like the idea of morphing, here's a quick test of the idea:

I wonder if we could include such functionality in a library of GUI
objects which can dynamically hide and reshape themselves...

high or wide (although they still use some CPU resources). You
could even do it with [line], so that they seem to fade out or
drop down.I tried this and it refused to resize below 2 by 8 on a hslider
which is too bad cause using line to make it morph is a really
cool idea.Maybe you could reuse the same gui objects for different
parameters by changing the send (see attached patch). The big
problem with this is storing the settings and having them recalled
when you move from one parameter to another. <guithing.pd>d.
