In FL 9+ the Wrapper in FL is almost twice the size of Zebra interface.
Zebra is cushioned in the upper left corner of a huge Wrapper that has a white background and takes up almost the entire monitor screen.
Also, I can grab controls had drop them into different areas of the GUI.
I got the demo from the site today.
Is there a later, more stable release?

It's not a bug, it sounds merely like you have the gui editor enabled.

Do you by any chance have a preset called "default.h2p"? If so, open it in text edit and erase the line "!EDITOR=YES" or change it to "!EDITOR=NO".

Gui editor?

Will do. Thanks for reply.

Thanks, that worked.
Not sure why mine was set to "Yes" in the first place. Maybe I got a bad demo file.

Can someone please explain the gui editor? I can't seem to find anything in the manual or with a forum search. I'm getting a blue line around the perimeter on two sides of the gui in both Sonar and FL Studio. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the gui editor. I don't have a default.h2p but I do have an initialize.h2p. Don't see any mention of editor in the h2p text file. Thanks in advance.

In the GUI editor mode, the layout of Zebra's graphical elements and other GUI-related things can be adjusted ( and fine-tuned much more easily than, say, text-editing the relevant .txt config files ). It opens in a full-screen canvas with white-space, all the elements will be outlined and there will be a pretty different set of click actions, menus, etc. - all of this makes it not so useful for conventional loading, tweaking patches sorts of use.

It sounds like you're not exactly opening in GUI editor mode (?) if you're not getting anything other than blue lines on the perimeter of the window, I don't know if that implies it's unrelated to GUI editor mode or not however. If you don't have a default.h2p you could save any preset as 'default', and add the !EDITOR=NO line ( I think it would want to be after the */ following the meta section of the patch, which should be at the top ). I really wouldn't know if it is related or not or what would be the cause of the blue lines if it isn't related to the GUI editor.

Actually, if it opens blank then Zebra simply doesn't find its resources in teh Zebra2.data folder. Make sure that Zebra2.data with all of its contents is located in the same directory as Zebra2.dll. If Zebra2.data is located in a different folder (e.g. Users/You/Documents/) then make sure you have shortcut (symbolic link, windows style) to Zebra2.data sitting in the same directory as Zebra2.dll, and make sure the shortcut is renamed to "Zebra2.data" (depending on localization, Windows calls a shortcut like "blahblah Verknüpfung" or "blahblah shortcut" etc. when you make it, and then you have to rename it back to just "blahblah")

Sorry but I'm even more confused now. I'm using the default Zebra install paths. I'll see if I can decipher Urs' post above.

Not sure if I understand but Zebra doesn't open blank. Here's that I get:

It's really hard to see the blue line in this screenshot but its a few pixels from the edge.

So the only way to open the editor is to have an h2p that contains the Editor = Yes line? Can someone post an h2p that already has the line inserted? Thanks for everyone's help.

It's not the point whether it bothers me or not but whether it makes Zebra look a bit buggy.

The blue line goes away when the gui is enlarged.

On the plus side changing from normal to large now works in Orion 7.62

Ah... okay... the flight and stuff must have screwed with my head.

Yes, I spent a couple of hours trying to determine the cause of the blue lines, but I couldn't figure it out. It's one of these little issues that I'm keeping in the back of my mind, hoping to fix whenever I'm touching a related area of code.

It *is* a strange phenomenon. I think I'll be working on it together with the ever nagging issues of screen gamma and font weight.

Cool, thanks. At least I know it's not only me.
