Idea: more soundfiler widget colour options

#1

According to the docs, it looks like soundfiler only supports a colour(), but not a backgroundcolour(). I feel like this should definitely support a backgroundcolour() to be more in line with gentable.

I also would really like a “grid colour”, but I’m not quite sure how the grid would work with dynamically sized samples being loaded, and swapping between mono and stereo… it seems like it would need to be dynamic as the file changes, and I’m not sure if that’d be realistic.

What do you think, Rory?

#2

Background colour should be doable without much reconstruction. I’ll look into the grid options and get back to you :+1:

#3

Btw, soundfiler does support this. Looks like I need to update the docs…

#4

AH! I figured out what I did when testing for this…

gentable uses tablecolour() and tablebackgroundcolour()
And it looks like soundfiler uses colour() and tablebackgroundcolour()… I had mistakenly assumed the “table” wouldn’t have been used there either, and had only tried backgroundcolour().

Got it, thanks!

#5

Another area for potential confusion I will admit…:confused: But it wouldn’t be Cabbage if everything was crystal clear :joy:
