LMMS with Gtk Style

[falkTX]

Hi there community!

I've been hacking into LMMS, and I found that it's possible change it's theme.
I was able to get it to accept QGtkStyle, which will make LMMS reflect the current Gtk theme.

To enable it simply download this patch (http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/downloa ... -gtk.patch), apply to the LMMS sources and re-compile.
Note: this patch is "reversed", it will ask you to revert changes, just say yes;
(This is my first patch, so...)

I've precompiled for Ubuntu:
32bit - http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/downloa ... 6_i386.deb
64bit - http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/downloa ... _amd64.deb

Tell me what you think.

looking good!

But that has never been a problem for LMMS, it has some other probs...

I know that, but I found this when looking at LMMS source code.

Jack Transport is my biggest goal.
I'm working on it, and I'll post something once it works ok.

for Jack Transport, you need proper Jack functionality first I think. Please ask feedback on the LAD or Jack-devel mailinglist(s)!

Very nice. Have you seen these pics of Cusis's GUI reworkings :

Also very nice.

Best,

I saw that SuperDave but I thought it was only for the Windows version.
It looks awesome. I like falkTX also.

The thing is - those LMMS mockups won't be implemented soon, and my LMMS hack works at the moment.
The vertical sliders (pitch and volume) are not correct, but the rest seems fine.
I'll be more than happy to try implement Cusis's work, but I need to access those files first.

And we can get Jack Transport even if using alsa as output.
(I can make a simple video if you guys want)
EDIT: here it is:

Download the file, it's not playable in the browser

let me get this, you have LMMS running with jack and no xruns??
I can't try the skin I don't think because I'm a non Deb guy..

xruns are there, just like it happens with you, I guess.

I'm just in the way of (trying) to get Transport in LMMS.
I already mailed the devs about this, I'm just waiting an answer

Why does nobody ask for help on jack-devel? To big for that? To shy for that? I mean, do you want to solve it now and for ever or will we have complaining about LMMSs jack on this forum board forever?
That's the question...

I think there is a thread going on here where the LMMS dev came on. He was pretty upset too. I think I started it about the fact that they cater to Windows more than linux. I just went by the fact that if worked better(back then) on Windows than linux and when you go to download it, the default is Windows(but the every other linux apps tend to do that once the apps runs on Mac or Windows). It gives you that "look Dad, come see what I did!" Dad being Windows and Mac.

Afaik, they're working really hard on getting jack to work with it. They said they didn't feel it was important(again you jump to the conclusion that "hey, this works great on Windows so who needs jack!")

In my case, I never contacted any LAD/Jack-devel guys, it will be my first time.
The thread is about LMMS Gtk style, something I hacked by looking at LMMS sources.
The Jack Transport is possible too, but it's a big thing, so I'll surely need help.

Right now I'll focus on getting PyJack 0.3 out, then a FeSTige update, then KXStudio.
Only later I'll work on LMMS Transport, and once that happens, I'll ask their help.
As I said before, I already contacted the LMMS devs about this.
