| Summary | 0010335: Plugin Window - Replace the on off button | ||||
| Description | Plugin GUI windows contain a toolbar at the top. On the right side of this toolbar is a large "reverse" on/off button which can be kind of a confusing approach. (Only reason I can think of is that maybe this was done this way because green light being "on" was maybe distracting?) Suggesting to replace this current on-off button/icon with just a square or rectangle (if want to keep the same size as existing) button instead. This button will not have an icon, only a centered round green led light that is "on" = green, to mimic the on/off led circles shown at left side of plugin buttons in Mixer channel effect chains. This button will no longer have "reverse" behavior, instead will use the following On = Green Light Off = Faded green/black Thank You | ||||

It is not a reverse on/off button, it is a bypass button, documented and labeled as such, its icon also convey its meaning ("signal doesn't go through plugin"). I don't think changing such a critical piece of UI for its opposite (conceptually) is a very reasonable demand (imagine asking to replace Mute buttons with "Volume On" buttons). |
