Default How Can I Arrange The MCP FX Parameter Knobs Into A Single Row?

I'm really struggling badly with the fxlist. & fxparm. font/ positioning coordinates and can't figure it out by just reading the manual. I try my best to figure things out for myself, but this time I've cracked and come here for advice.

I want these fxparm.knobs to fall into a single row, that scrolls when the up/down arrows are clicked (like the way the send level knobs appear).

Is this even possible?

I have attached a screenshot to show my problem...

Thanks in advance.

Wow you've broken that so badly I don't even know how If you delete every bit of WALTER relating to mcp.fxparm so you just have the fallback, is that not how you want it?

it would be interesting what causes that issue. Could you send me just the rtconfig, please?
Just for scientific-research :-)


If you want to get rid of the white line in your sendlist, you could try to fill exactly that space of the whiteline with the color of your mcp_sendlist_norm.png file, which, what it seems to me, fills the background color of that area, am I right?

For sure it works in the knob file itself.
I'm unsure if it would do the hack in the bg file of the knob...

At least, it works at my place..
Hope that helps.

Have fun

White Tie/ OSHALOM...

Comes down to what I was trying to do...
Trying to make the knobs bigger, the only way I could fathom, was to increase the font size. Then I started playing with 'line-height' to see what could be achieved. It's all an experiment.

Below is the code, for the purposes of your amusement! and yes, I've removed everything relating to the fxparm font, but left the sends as they are (because I rather like it). I don't think there is very much, in the way of (useful) science, to be gained from this mess.

So it works well for the sends. I like how the knobs are now differentiated by size. Evidently, the fxparms want to sit next to each other, rather than fall into a column (as the sends obviously will).


Code:
set mcp.extmixer.mode          [1]
  set mcp.extmixer.position      [0 130 100 400 0 0 0 0]

  set mcp.fxlist.font            [1 20 2 0]

  set mcp.fxparm                 [0 0 60 30 0 0 0 0]
  set mcp.fxparm.margin          [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]
  set mcp.fxparm.font            [1 30 4 0 0 0 10 20]
;                                [a b  c d e f g h]
;                                (a=font b=rowheight c= d= e= f= g=scrollgap h=scrollsize)
  
  set mcp.sendlist.font          [1 30 2 0]
  set mcp.sendlist.margin        [0 0 5 0 1 0 0 0]
;                                [a b c d e f g h]
;                                (a=Left c=right e=align f=scrollsize)
;                                                0   =left
;                                                0.5 =center
;                                                1   =right

Yes, that's right. I have experimented with this before. For now, I'm "Working in ye'Olde ugly colour blocks" as WT suggests in his guide.

I'm just curious about the behavior. That's all.
