Ruben:
About the GUI. I think it is really cool.
You said it yourself, you are no GFX artist, but
I am. And when it gets released I will most probably make a skin for it. (Duh, when it gets released for AOS4 that is, i have no Peggy.)
And, as you have realised, it is very very VERY
important to keep the layout PT like, as all tracker musicians are very used to that old
interface. I know, as I am the organiser of an Amiga music crew (Up Rough).
All musicians in Up Rough dislikes, and refuse to work with octamed as they think it's GUI is weird
and uncomfortable.
But maybe the most important thing is to keep
all the keyboard shortcuts exactly the same as
in the old PT versions. I have heard tracker musicians scream many bad words in a row when using for example digibooster or octamed.
That leads me t o another thing. Many Protracker
boys do not like Digibooster because it doesnt work exactly like Protracker..
The only really successful tracker on the Amiga
since Protracker must be THX/AHX.
The dream scenario would be to have one skinable
GUI and one MUI/Reaction GUI. Possible?
