I used @kdenlive for the first time in a while this weekend, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it draws its own window decorations on my system now. Looks a lot less jarring than it did with the GNOME-styled title bar.
As a sidenote, it would be great to have a modern and more approachable alternative to #Audacity for working with audio projects. Audacity sure is a mature and powerful piece of software, but it’s also the most confusing app I’ve ever used to do anything.
@haeckerfelix Sure thing!
Sadly it doesn't have any shadows, but this is still a lot better than it was previously.
@bragefuglseth @haeckerfelix i think this is the default qt decoration, i've seen very similar looking decorations on other qt apps
@bragefuglseth Given what happened to musescore when tantacrul came to the project, I hope something similar happens with audacity. Musescore 4 is a head above what was in version 3.
@winet @bragefuglseth unfortunately the only things I noticed so far is that the waveform is now flickering sometimes, and the program crashes way more often, than it used to.
@rdbende @winet @bragefuglseth
Fwiw, our first priority was to make Audacity less punishing. To this effort, we've added non-destructive editing, effects, speed and pitch changes, as well as master effects. I also have halved the number of toolbar rows on top. These changes largely aren't visible, but may be felt with extended use. Rather than "oh no, I made a mistake 15 mins ago, I now need to undo everything", it now allows for more and more retroactive changes. In the process we did break some things as it is an ancient code base.
All of that said: Audacity 4 will look and feel significantly nicer and hopefully less threatening than anything we can do in 3.x. It uses Musescore's UI components, so will look not too far away from it.
Also if any of you have an interaction with Audacity where it does something when you expected it do something different, please let me know and ideally send a screen recording with it.
@LWinterberg @rdbende @bragefuglseth yeah. The addition of vst effects support and the ability to move audio clips with the mouse has improved the program a lot. Waiting for version 4 :)
@LWinterberg @winet @bragefuglseth non-destructive effects are a lifesaver indeed, but when your use case is doing simple edits on audio files (trim, envelopes, amplification, compression), having the program not crash randomly on zoom, seek or selct operations is much more valuable. For everything else I'd use a DAW anyway.
@bragefuglseth Tenacity (fork that happened with the telemetry debacle) claims to have a modern theme compared to Audacity. Haven’t used it though, so I can’t confirm.
