I now changed the name to Elemental C++ GUI library. Again, sorry for the stupid mistake and the confusion it caused.

Not a bad idea, actually.

Yes, Photon does that with all continuous UI elements.

I'll do that in a follow up post. To be honest, I wasn’t ready to release this yet, not in this form, so the info is very preliminary, as noted in the introduction: "Let me tell yo…

At least VST allows you to switch to and from using basic controls and the full plugin UI. Actually, if your plugin does not provide a UI, the DAW host will provide a generic one f…

You spend a minuscule amount of time with Dialogs. You spend Most of the time in the project window itself, the mixer, transport, and all the plugins. None of those use standard co…

Just a stupid mistake, really. I know QNX, but I haven't used it and I didn't know the QNX Photon name. You guys are right. I should've done a 3 minute Google. My bad.

Same here. And for that matter, all DAWs I know also do not use standard platform widgets. Logic Pro, Reaper, Ableton, Pro Tools, Cubase etc. all use their own custom UI elements.

Hi I'm Joel, the the author of Photon. Yes, I know NanoGUI. I actually started with NanoVG. I had problems embedding in a plugin, IIRC. GLFW is not embeddable, IIRC.

Hi I'm Joel, the the author of Photon. It seems I have to change the name. Bummer :-) Anyway, I didn't know. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi I'm Joel, the the author of Photon. Just wondering, do you know any significant (or perhaps even insignificant) VST or AU plugin that uses standard platform widgets? I wonder ho…
