Nice! The line instead of the arrow on the knobs is distinctly clearer... I like that the white background for the Osc tabs is gone... and the shading on the Osc graphs looks good. Glad to see the numbering on the Osc waves, plus you got rid of the shorter divider lines between groups of tabs which seems like an improvement.Urs wrote:We been eager since then...nilhartman wrote:Can't find the most recent 2.8 screenshot Urs posted some times ago... looked damn elegant and easy/fast to operate, can't wait for that update.

It is perfect! You have an excellent own style of interface design, do not imitate anyone, as suggested above.Urs wrote:We been eager since then...nilhartman wrote:Can't find the most recent 2.8 screenshot Urs posted some times ago... looked damn elegant and easy/fast to operate, can't wait for that update.

I like how the little notches around the knobs is a bit subtler now. And as pdxindy pointed out, the line instead of the arrow makes the knobs pop a little more. I do think the gradient in the envelope editors is a bit extreme though. But I could get used to it.

The gradient is... pretty. I was hoping for a maybe a lavender type of colour, but Basti, our designer, felt like he had to stop me there.Sound Author wrote:I like how the little notches around the knobs is a bit subtler now.

But yes, softer tick marks and stronger knob indicator was a good remedy for the problems we had with some of the earlier drafts.

Here's a high-contrast approach I've been talking about. Needs a lot of fine tuning, many elements missing. But it shows that it's easy to do a "in your face" UI which unfortunately will quickly lead to eye fatigue:
This kind of theme will certainly sell more licenses and possibly even make Zebra easier to learn. But can't be the only choice for people who spend a lot of time creating and tweaking sounds.

Something the forum could do with.Urs wrote:stronger knob indicator
btw, I just realised the last time I posted on this forum was about Zebra, on this day, 13 years ago.

Basti is really doing a great job!

I also agree with Basti's sensibilities. The "Atlantis" design looks amazing, but yeah, several hours of bright florescent colors would be a migraine. Neutral, muted tones just make more sense.
