[LAD] Faust plugin GUI

[Yassin Philip]

Hi!

I followed up along the "Plugin Programming with Faust" minilac16
conference/workshop

by Albert GrÀf, and
now my dream percussive "kik" plugin is nearing completion :)

I'm now wondering how to make a nice custom GUI, something sobre and
classy with maybe a logo ; I'm using QT5 for the generic GUI as this is
what Albert used in his (quite wonderful I must add) workshop, but I'm
not set on it.

At the end of the workshop, Albert shows off the "exercise06" plugin
(exactly here http://youtu.be/T_1Cobmpc5o and for the
first time the UI is not generic but custom, but I can't find the
corresponding code anywhere, and believe me I searched :(

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

PS - I had to make some adjustments to follow the workshop : 1-the
faust-lv2 repo is now at bitbucket
<https://bitbucket.org/agraef/faust-lv2> and no longer at github like
Albert says in the video (this one was easy) and 2-the included *.cpp
files errored, so I had to use the ones from the main faust repo
<https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust>.

Hi

I don't know any FAUST, but I gladly share some links to threads on the
LV2 mailing list reminding developers why they *should not* use any of
the big toolkits (e.g. Qt, Gtk) to author plugin GUIs [1][2]. Should
save you a lot of pain in the long run...

I hear you, and (in a way) I agree, but then again what is left? Event
FLTK doesn't seem to pass the purity test :)

Seriously, my plugin already has a Qt GUI, I'd just like to learn how to
control it... I do have two files, lv2ui.cpp
<https://bitbucket.org/yassinphilip/kik/src/2c4b34db4bfad9f7198cb342e0ea78e4d8e2655c/lv2ui.cpp?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default>
and lv2qtgui.h but they look more like library include files ; As far as
I know I can even use CSS nowadays to style my Qt app, don't anybody
know at which point do that happen?

Ah, I found out, reading the lv2ui.cpp and the Makefile
<https://bitbucket.org/agraef/faust-lv2> ; never mind! :)

If anyone is interested, the CSS for the LV2 Qt plugins generated by
faust2lv2 are in /usr/local/include/faust/gui/Styles/ so in this example :

faust2lv2 -gui -style mystyle myplugin.dsp

The files that will be looked for are

/usr/local/include/faust/gui/Styles/mystyle.qrc :

<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>Kiplugs.qss</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

And /usr/local/include/faust/gui/Styles/mystyle.qss (the actual CSS).
