There was a call for participation from Hermann Meyer, the main developer of Guitarix, for creating a new user interface for his very cool project. It may create the impression that I don’t know how to spend my days but I couldn’t resist to get in touch with him to talk about his wishes and preferences. Fortunately he had enough trust to give me a carte blanche so I started thinking about a visual concept. Earlier this day I sent him an export of my very first steps in Inkscape and it seems it met his expectations and preferences. He gave me commit access to the SF git repo so I’ll start implementing stuff as soon as my scribbles reach a mature state.
Don’t expect that things are done next week since the image represents a quit early stage of brainstorming. In addition Guitarix is in a rather advanced state and offers a quite complex user interface so realization will take its time. But it’s a start at least.

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.

Hi Markus
I’m very happy that you decided to join the Guitarix project and help with the UI.
I think your work with Calf is awesome and I believe that Guitarix will climb a step with your contributions!
Best regards
Gianfranco
Hey Gianfranco,
thanks a lot! Hopefully I’ll cope with the advance praises.
Cheers, Markus.
Thank you so much for this! I love the design of Calf and really love the functionality of guitarix. A guitarix that has a design as beautiful as calf will be so great. 🙂
Hey chaot,
thanks a lot for your trust, too .)
Cheers, Markus.
Hi Markus, I just want to thank you for this awesome GUI. Greetings from Montevideo city, Uruguay (yep, it come just that far !) Really, thank you for your hard work. It’s a pity it is not available into Ubuntu’s nor Mint’s repository yet (and those are mainstream linux) I had to compile it myself but it was worth, the new GUI is far more beautiful and furthermore, it improves the usability a lot.
Hey Ignacio,
thank you very much for your kind words!
Best Markus
