Is there a way to make a bitmap drowdown list , I find the default ugly.
I am referring to the popup that appears when dropdown list is engaged.
I would love to be able to customize it .
Searched the forum and my library but cannot find anything.

This would be a really nice module to have. You could use waveform icons instead of words for example. I assume this is the kind of thing you are talking about.

Unfortunately the droplist prim calls a Windows function, so the look is pre-determined.

The only way to get such a function is to make it from scratch in Ruby. I believe this would be a huge coding challenge for someone (not me sadly), but in theory it could be done.

Indeed,Its a shame to do a fancy GUI and then have this windows dropdown.
I need this for the Filter selector window.
I wonder if someone here that is an expert at ruby would do this for a fee ?

Good morning or good afternoon, wherever you are.

I'm back in the trenches so I cannot do it myself.
I'm sitting on a stack of Ruby-books, however, and will try to find some pre-fab code that could be used.
If anybody came up with a working solution, I'd pitch in with lalalandsynth any pay for it.
You all have a great day.

It's actually not that difficult.

The basis is Flowstone's ability to move a view within another view. Just move the "menu" view out of sight, then when the user clicks to open the menu, move it to that coordinates. The code for the menu itself would be much like a listbox, so my Ruby listbox module might be a good starting point:

Vielen Dank, Tulamide.
I appreciate your post very much and will try my best to make good use of it which can be shared.

Just want to reiterate , I would be willing to pay for such a thing

Also, looking for someone to optimize an analyser , envelope display and metering module that takes way too much Cpu. Willing to pay for that as well. Really need to fix this cpu issue and its way beyond my skills.

I can do DSP optimizig. For Ruby/GUI stuff there are better skilled people here.

Yeah, I am having a problem that is definitely GUI related. Everything else works.

Analyser 4 channels and is super cpu hungry , although its running at 25 , and from one mono to graph, not sure what else to do.

Envelope displays are also running at 25 but I need them at 44.1 to see what is happening , which works fine but not sure if that is the cpu problem.

And i have a case of disappearing meters , just using the stock transparent meter overlay , but they seem to only work sometimes , no idea what is up.

Plugin looks and sounds great but this cpu stuff is unaccaptable and I would love to get this finished.
If anyone can help for a fee I would really appreciate that.

Btw ,does anyone have a resizable blak Meter overlay with transparency that is not the stock one I cannot get it to work when I make it so small, the larger ones work fine.

I will post a project , see if there are any takers.
