I once was like „Yay, nothing to do this weekend – so let’s rewrite the Calf UI“.
That was about 2 months ago.
I just pushed the latest changes on the user interface to the repository. To sum it up: There is a major speed-up in the user interface now together with lots of new features (like Analyzer or individual filter curves in EQ’s or visual tracking of the active multiband strips) and a more polished design (new graphics everywhere, reliable knobs and VU meters, …). Additionally I got rid of the pixmap engine which caused some problems with more restrictive hosts like the new Ardour. And I was able to clean up the whole thing and strip lots of GtkRC, Python code and PNG images – thousands of lines of code rendered redundant and so did lots of background images for the pixmap engine.
And now I’ll have a beer. Cheers.

Thank you very much!! You're doing an essential job for the development of open source software! The following points aren't meant as dogmas but as a clue, decide for yourself what you think could be useful in troubleshooting.
- Please...
- ...state name and version of your operating system / desktop environment
- ...state the version of the program you're using
- ...be detailed in what is happening and what you expected to happen
- ...try to provide some deeper information (like xplanetFX logs or the output of the program when started in a terminal window)
- ...speak to me as a human being, don't think I'm a bot.
Herzlichen Dank!! Fehlerberichte sind essentiell für die Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software! Die folgenden Punkte sind keine Dogmen, sondern sollen eher Anhaltspunkte darstellen; entscheide selbst, ob sie für die Fehlersuche hilfreich sein könnten.
- Bitte...
- ...nenne den Namen und die Version Deines Betriebssystems / Deiner Desktopumgebung
- ...nenne die Version des von Dir benutzten Programms
- ...beschreibe möglichst genau, was passiert und was Du erwartest, was passieren sollte
- ...stelle möglichst tiefergehende Informationen zur Verfügung (xplanetFX Logs oder die Ausgabe des Programms im Terminalfenster)
- ...sprich mit mir, wie mit einem Menschen, ich bin kein Automat.
