I may subtly change Shimmer in the future, to add the preset browser as found in VRoom and ÜberMod. I think I can just move around some text on the bottom, to incorporate the preset "button" and arrows. ValhallaShimmer hasn't seen many revisions after it came out - it was refreshingly bug free, and it seems feature complete for what it does. Still, it would be good to update it, just to make sure that the code base is fresh for Lion and the upcoming Logic X.
ValhallaÜberMod has my favorite interface so far. It was what I was trying to get in VRoom, but didn't quite achieve. I like the balance of logo and tooltip text to controls (interestingly enough, ÜberMod has a similar balance to Shimmer in this regard). Visually, the logo for ValhallaRoom was necessary to balance out the tooltip space at the bottom of the plugin, but the "VALHALLA ROOM" text was a bit big. By moving the user name, company name and version number to the top of the ValhallaÜberMod GUI, I was able to have a smaller text size for the ValhallaÜberMod logo, and more room for the tooltips at the bottom of the GUI, while minimizing the "white space" in both cases.
Of course, there will still be plenty of people who hate the GUI style of the new plugin. I'm OK with that.
