Oatmeal skin discussion - What you think? 2006-11-11T23:07:20+00:00 So I'm going to skin Oatmeal. I want to make a skin worthy of the plugin, and that means lots of work and forethought and good planning and posts for each iteration of the design to make happy the most people possible. What do you envision Oatmeal to be ideally? My own thoughts; it's too small, it needs to be much larger. The interface is CHOCK FULL of controls and they need some room. I'm thinking if I can make it fit on a 800x600 display I'm happy (700x500 is the target). I would like to make all envelope controls faders, and make obvious as much as possible how the Oatmeal works. After reading the manual, I made the following notes: [SOUNDSOURCE] 1.

Not sure how to do it visually yet but I will mock it up in Visio... The order is something I'm open to change, for instance the phase section in MASTER seems more appropriate in modulation? Dunno. The focus I really want to go for here is usability and friendliness. The current skins are excellent in their own right but we can improve on the usability in a democratic fashion here on KVR - I love building UI's iteratively getting input from everyone because the goal is to pay back fuzpills by making his plug even more useful than it currently is. Since I can't give back in any other way, this is my way to repay him. I keep my word. So I hope to have this done before X-Mas. :) Please let me know your thoughts and do not hold back or hesitate to post screenshots or pictures of things you like in other plugs, real hardware, etc. I think it's possible to perhaps even make 2 separate skin projects, maybe one in the honor of gols style nice and compact and the other more spread out and usable. The key is ease of use for a monster of such complexity :) Thanks :hug: Here is the most recent rendition of the UI: http://www.asseca.com/designermonkey/kvr/oatmeal/oatmeal_beta1.png grymmjack https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6631
