Stereo Tool

- Bottom part code is rewritten (play with the window size to see what changed - it auto-adjusts to the window size)
- Meter sizes changed for better display
- Right waveform uses 4 times oversampling - shows better how tight the clipping is.

Note: Default skin is still mine, use Bojcha's for a much better look. He's still working on it though....

When scopes are under meters, meter hovering is not working.

Fixed. Also some other things (refresh on enable/disable didn't always work etc.)
- Up/down lock in MB does not work -> Now with same behavior as in the old interface. I'll make something better in the new MB.
- Make new minimized icon -> Only shows input/output volume now, including turning red on overshoots.
Will now try to fix text entry. Which has been broken for a while now.
Edit: Ow.. Actually it works in the stand alone version, but not in the Winamp version.
Edit: Solved and improved some smaller issues that were a problem in both versions.

Why i think that input scope is only displaying the left channel ?

That's true - it's no longer displaying both channels simultaneously anymore. I could add the 2nd channel below it but this way (1 channel displayed) it looks better and you can see better what's going on.

just that 'fade' in scope should be less present. And old color would be nice.

- Text typing. Display updated, and fixed typing in Winamp plugin (did not work before). Solved and improved some smaller issues that were a problem in both versions.
- Improved some things in the bottom size display resizing
- Solved and improved some smaller issues.

Todo:
- Tilt settings value is incorrect
- Volume pre-emphasis color incorrect
- Volume pre-emphasis display fixed
- MPX display fixed
- About, register, help What would be a logical place to put the registration stuff? I would think at the top of the Configuration menu... - or maybe in the main window. Looks ugly, but it works - layout should be fixed later (together with that of the other buttons in the button bar).
- Tilt waveform displays missing; test tone generation missing
- Slider control mouse behavior had an offset - fixed
- Button bar buttons are too small in height
- Everything is shown as DISABLED in Bypass mode now (that's actually a bit too much - sound cards should not be disabled - but I'll keep it like this for now).

- And a warning in the buttons bar if unregistered options are in use, or change 'Register' button color.
- Display last loaded preset name, if possible also with whether it has been changed and keeping it on restart (although I've spoken to people who use hardware devices which have exactly the same behavior as the old ST had, dropping the name on a restart).
- Try to combine more panels into one
- Declipper scopes
- VST version keyboard
- VST crash (try to get debugger to function properly first... That would really help)

Less urgent for usability:
- Design (several people are working on something)
- Add basic/advanced modes
- Add '-6' '-12' etc. beside output bars where possible.
- Context sensitive Help (help button should be next to the preset buttons)
- Drag (resize window parts) lines, also between to/bottom part (scopes/meters). (Is this needed already? Maybe not...)

Any problem with MPX display ?
Not showing all MPX signal.
Aslo no Preemphasis indicator on both output indicators ( only in down indicator)

Both confirmed - will check. Probably caused by the oversampling.

Edit: Fixed. Pre-emphasis display has never worked properly in this new interface! Now it does...

The VST version is kinda working but it doesn't accept any keyboard input and the debug version crashes if keyboard input elements are drawn. So I didn't post it yet.
Edit: Solution known (I need to explicitly set focus to the window, which in case of a VST plugin is embedded in another window. And that other window receives all the keyboard input. I fixed it, but now I'm receiving everything twice... (Reason known, will fix it tomorrow).

TODO:
- VST saves all its settings also to INI file. It should only save texts.
- VST events not generated on value change
- Solved crash when changing integer sliders in previous beta version.
- Added composite limiter meter
- Problem with MPX signal (overshoots in some cases) - Romke; bars can not turn red anymore if the FM signal isn't too loud.
- Try to combine more panels into one BS412 + details, Clipper Open Sound + Artistic Effects.
- Old preset loading issue in Stereo Image filter
- AGC loading issue with 2/3 bands
- Declipper scopes
- And a warning in the buttons bar if unregistered options are in use, or change 'Register' button color. No room there, where should I put this?
- Display last loaded preset name, if possible also with whether it has been changed and keeping it on restart (although I've spoken to people who use hardware devices which have exactly the same behavior as the old ST had, dropping the name on a restart). No room unless I make the 'Presets' button bigger... Other suggestions? Maybe above it if there is space (not too many buttons). Also for Register stuff.
