@Johannes: choose which blinking led you like most ;-)


I don't like how it looks the grey around the song mode button... mostly because there is no space for a red line under it and then it looks uneven to my eyes...

I had to say it, sorry!!

It is an exact copy of the original stage panel. However we can make the screen a bit bigger so that it alignes perfectly with the knobs and give a little space underneath. It won't be exactly as the original but if it works better for our purposes that's fine.
You don't have to apologize though, it's a team work we do here and all opinions are valuable. That's the way the result gets better and better!

Well I just joined the images that alex78 made, anyway I think I see what you mean and I have 2 ideas

@alex78:

1) could you "shrink" the buttons area (or enlarge the screen area) so that they are "more aligned" at the bottom?

2) can you produce the images with a native widht of 260pixels (as I now notice that the final resizing has caused some bad effect on some text, like "Store As" and "MIDI")

Unfortunately the white text on the red background does not render well. STORE AS... and MIDI show some aliasing artefacts.

Yes, as I wrote just above that's due to the resizing I made, as requested by Johannes, but if alex78 could (re)produce the original images already in the correct size, I could merge/animate them without causing that

1) could you "shrink" the buttons area (or enlarge the screen area) so that they are "more aligned" at the bottom?
2) can you produce the images with a native widht of 260pixels (as I now notice that the final resizing has caused some bad effect on some text, like "Store As" and "MIDI")

The answer to both questions is yes, but maybe the resolution affects the result as well. I have made the images in 100 ppi but maybe the resolution drops when you load it and that is the reason for aliasing. So, except the actual size I will need the actual resolution as well.

I checked the picture in my last post here and looks OK actually, so I went to check the HTML of the header and I see the size of the logo is set to 200x90 (not 260x117 as the original image I posted, based on requested width = 260), this may be the actual reason behind the aliasing artifacts we are seeing

@Johannes: can you please check&fix and/or let me know if 200x90 is the intended size, so that we can prepare and send a new scaled image?

Only as a constructive criticism: the fonts maxpiano mentioned are indeed blocky, but also the others for SONG MODE and SONG EDIT (and the fonts in the black panel) show too much antialiased borders which make them look too blurry.

I think this is now OK for that size, let's see when Johannes will pick this up ;-)


PS: another idea... :shh:
