[Rosegarden-devel] transport buttons

[Silvan <dmm...@us...>]

I've been recording stuff with the RC.  It's been awhile since I played with 
this.  Not since I got wild and crazy, and actually changed widget sets.  
I've decided I'm fond of Keramik.

But there's a wee problem with Keramik and Rosegarden.  No matter how I diddle 
my color settings, buttons never really do a good job of showing that they're 
pressed.

I've just looked around a bit, and I can't see that this is usually a problem.  
I don't see anything else right off that uses buttons the same way the 
Transport does, where the "pressed" state is used to indicate that the button 
is "held down."  I'm sure there are others, but it's annoying me the most in 
RG.

It's really quite difficult to tell whether the metronome or solo buttons are 
down, and so I'm wondering if there's anything we can reasonably do to 
improve that.

I've been fooling around with QT Designer, since the Transport is a .ui file, 
and I'm thinking perhaps not.  Looking at what the other styles do, I think 
Keramik has the least obvious pressed/not pressed indication of them all; 
fooling with color could help, but color looks bad in some other styles...

Maybe I should look at hacking Keramik to improve this.

Well, anyway, the RC built and is running with no obvious cataclysmic 
problems, so I think it's a go.
