>> V4: WALTER rolling enhancements log

[White Tie]

alpha9
+ Color theme: themeable colors for TCP/mixer FX knob text
In Preferences --> Appearance --> Theme Editor : Mixer FX knob text (normal/bypassed/offline)

alpha23
+ Removed mixer pan-on-top option: added layouts to classic themes for "pan on top"
This :

mcp_panflip -- if user wants pan-on-top, set to nonzero

Should be removed from the WALTER Reference document.

alpha?
* undocumented WALTER predefined scalar variable : trackpanmode (=4 if the user has chosen stereo pan)

alpha32
+ WALTER: new Xcp.volume/pan.color variables for setting knob foreground color (first 4) and slider zeroline color (second 4)

set tcp.volume.color [r1 g1 b1 xx r2 g2 b2 xx]

r1-g1-b1 = knob color (when width is very small)
r2-g2-b2 = slider zeroline color

the new undocumented variables :

tcp.volume.color
tcp.pan.color
tcp.width.color
mcp.volume.color
mcp.pan.color
mcp.width.color

alpha36
+ WALTER: new keyword "front", specify "front tcp.io tcp.fx tcp.mute" to make mute at the top of the Z order, then FX, then IO, etc. Can specify on multiple lines, too

alpha37
+ Theme: added transport status window background color, font and font color (col_trans_bg, col_trans_fg, trans_font)
In Preferences --> Appearance --> Theme Editor : Transport status (background/text/font)

alpha38
+ WALTER: support for specifying complex rules to define size/minimum size of layouts (?)
+ WALTER: fixes relating to minimum sizes and margins (?)

WALTER : A themer's guide

[Bernstraw]

alpha45
+ Themes: envcp minimum size support
At the begining of the rtconfig.txt file, before the WALTER section, you can set the minimum height of the envelope control panel :

mcp_min_height 300
(...)
envcp_min_height 60

WT amends - they will also make use of the 'too small' horizontal image, in the same manner as the standard TCP panels, when the width is below the third tcp.size number.

+ Themes: reenabled tcp_fxparm_bg image

Theme image :
tcp_fxparm_bg.png
(can use pink and yellow lines)

+ Themes: fixed vertical vol fader in tcp

+ Themes: added tcp/mcp_[master_]vol/pan/wid_label image support
New background images for all tcp and mcp labels :

Theme images :
mcp_vol_label.png
mcp_pan_label.png
mcp_wid_label.png
mcp_master_vol_label.png
mcp_master_pan_label.png
mcp_master_wid_label.png
tcp_vol_label.png
tcp_pan_label.png
tcp_wid_label.png
tcp_master_vol_label.png
tcp_master_pan_label.png
tcp_master_wid_label.png
(can use pink and yellow lines)

+ Themes: tcp/mcp_[master_]voltext_flags rtconfig.txt support, bitmask:
1=no dB label
2=no sub-dB precision
4=no +
8=always show 2 digits of precision

Control over the display of the volume label in tcp/mcp :
At the begining of the rtconfig.txt file, before the WALTER section :

use_pngs 1
use_overlays 1
(...)
tcp_voltext_flags 1 ; (or 2, 4, 8, combos : 3, 5, 6, 7)
tcp_master_voltext_flags 1
mcp_voltext_flags 1
mcp_master_voltext_flags 1

Possible combos :
2+1=3 : no sub-dB precision AND no dB
4+1=5 : no + AND no dB
4+2=6 : no + AND no sub-dB precision
4+2+1=7 : no + AND no sub-dB precision AND no dB

+ Themes: removed limit on number of theme subfolders allowed (currently broken ?)

+ Themes: WALTER: added tcp_fxparms to get fx parameter count in tcp context

New predefined scalar variable :
tcp_fxparms

ex :

set tcp.recinput tcp_fxparms>0 [0] [10 60 200 12 0 0 1 0]

+ Themes: separately configurable colors for misc windows vs main window
In Preferences --> Appearance --> Theme Editor :
window background (line 8) VS Main window/transport background (line 1)

+ Transport status: better font sizing with certain dimensions

alpha61

• VU meters that are smaller than 11x11 will now function as indicator lights (theme preference for color, theme image vu_indicator.png)
• trackpanmode==6 for dual pan mode
