In my opinion, it is unified, which is a good point.
I still find the contrast a bit too bright and somewhat harsh (vidi orange + vivid red + vivid blue... it's all very saturated), but it looks good.

We can't implement all your feedback, especially those that really hate the GUI, but we are looking for your reaction to this static image of the GUI in case there is something we can address before the release.

Note the yellow dots at the top: those are inter-sample peak warnings. With the ISP function on and some oversampling pretty much all the ISP risks will be mitigated to 0.

So, post your thoughts about this GUI and if you can offer more explanation than "it sucks" or "looks good" that would be helpful.

Just to give some ideas, here is a shot with the lines turned off (well, the reduce still has a little line in there due to the code). Also, meter colors are not changed.

Here is the same thing with the saturation levels cut by 50% for everything.

This is only my personal opinion, but i like the latter better : i can see myself working longer with the contrast turned down, as it is more relaxing for the eye.

Yep, less contrasted is more eye friendly in the long term.
Anyway hopefully folks will get that colors in the main screen are tweak-able (just right click, options menu

)
I made the same mistake initially, but then I saw you can change the colors in any way you want, so there's no point in complaining about them. Gui is good, in line with your other plugins. (reading the pdf manual actually help too). Just my2cents. Cheers

Can you post a shot with the saturation 1/2 way bewtween 100% and 50% (presumably 75%)?

random_id · Post by **random_id** » Wed May 23, 2018 1:50 am

Here is everything at 75% of the original. Again, the Reduce amount still has a prominent line. I may have to add some more code to toggle the line on/off.

The 75% is pretty good. a balance between a softer contrast thats easier on the eyes but with enough contrast to bettwr differentiate the visualized data. what do y'all think?

If you don't mind can you list what exactly is awful and why? We can use this as an input to future re-designs.
The colors especially. Just my opinion really.
Maybe something in the contrast and saturation : it's very saturated, and a bit "hurting" : i guess i could not stand in front of it for hours.
Maybe that toning down the saturation and contrast a bit would help making it a bit more "smooth" (while keeping it "fresh") ?
It reminds me a bit of Sytrus or EXT2 colorschemes, but both have less saturated orange, and less dark black (well, a dark grey) :

Yeah agreed. It should be to ned down a bit or atleast change the color.

Btw Am i the only one who dislike the new look for Sytrus?

Maybe the default could be the 75% one. With the way you can change the default settings of the plugin, I can make a factory presets for the 50% and 100% versions. Then, it will be a 3 clicks for someone to "permanently" change the default color layout of the plugin.

Any thoughts about the button colors, any other color ideas, etc.? I have already added another option to toggle on/off line traces on the waveform display.

I'm liking 75% as a default.
