MTexturedStyleEditor

Looking forward to your styles!

They all look rather similar... Could the GUI be changed completely with less controls or with tabs/different pages?

It is a Style Editor not a UI Editor, that would be a much more complex venture. It allows you to design the size and colours of the various components, load your own images for knobs, buttons, scroll bars, slider backgrounds etc,

That's sad because the big problem of Meldaproduction GUIs is that they're EXTREMELY tight. Which can be a great thing if you're working on a small screen laptop or even an I-phone but there should be a bigger GUI with less controls...

The same thing applies for SynthMaster, BTW...

Well, Tricky then I'm afraid there is no way. It's like you want to completely redesign the plugins, which is of course impossible. The purpose of a style editor is to make the plugins look different, not make create different plugins

While I would agree that there is a lot packed into each window, once I got used to where the controls were then it was relatively easy to get to the one I want. And I am not keen on tabbing to different screens to get to related controls.

Have you tried just magnifying the size, up to say 150% (in [Settings] > Style Configuration?

Meanwhile, using the Style Editor, here is the Default style and the same with just 2 changes (to the Normal font size and the Tracker minimum height).

Note how the buttons automatically increase in size to accommodate the bigger text

A lot of the plugins DO essentially have a "create your own plugin" interface to them. Multiparameters.

So no bruhsed aluminum plate? What a pitty.

Anyway, the rightmost example looks kinda modern, I like that.

Yesterday I was starting to feel that I was slightly coming to grips with the wondrous Melda complexities...now this! I'm scared. I browsed through the documentation; damn, wish it was just one page with a knob to slightly turn up the font size/clarity. Maybe I need reading glasses.

The only Melda GUI I would like to re-style is MVocoder. That is because on smaller screens it is impossible to access the controls at the bottom of the interface, such as oversampling. But I have no intention of grappling with all this verbiage to achieve that. If, however, the developer or another member comes up with a reshaped MVocoder, I would be grateful if he would consider posting a link here.
