I'll be happy to test any changes/improvements you can make to the web interface!
We might take you up on that offer!

With this new beta, I can't open the preset combo box in the web interface. It worked with version 9. Also, something keeps moving me around the page randomly and locking up my browser when I try editing settings on the web interface.
I've tried to fix this, the changes will be in beta 18. Could you see if it works?

The noise gate and probably other features I'm not sure are off or on because I'm using a screen reader. The buttons do not have alt text/labels. [...]

Can you please either add button labels for on/off, or switch the buttons to check boxes? The sliders/edit boxes work great with the screen reader, so thanks for that.
Here's info on button labeling. https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/
Thank you for providing the information about labeling! It's hard for us to properly support this kind of functionality when we have no idea where to start or how to test it.

One more thing, the StereoTool main program window can not be closed at least with the keyboard. I have to kill the program with task manager, I can write-click the system tray icon and use the menu but "exit" doesn't close the program at least for me. At least I somehow got the new settings to save.
There is an "ask confirmation on close" setting, which saves you from having to modify the .ini file.
It should be present in the web interface as well.

Try setting [Application Settings > Preferences > On pressing close] to "Always close"
Maybe set [Application Settings > Preferences > On closing from tray icon] to "Always close" as well

Bandpass and stereo section are examples, I can hear changes if I press the buttons but no labels or disappearing buttons. The old style interface had labels (web_widget_on) or (web_widget_off). Maybe add "on" or "off" to the on and off buttons? Here's another page for labeling buttons using aria. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... aria-label
We'll take a look at it.

I'm missing the settings to adjust output buffers.

You need to dig a little to find them.

Linux build doesn't rely on libpng12.so anymore
Appreciate it

A question, can you add the Jack backend in the same executable alongside ALSA, cause from what I see the gui is designed to carry more categories for input/output.

Also, I would really like the Ctrl+scroll/drag key binding for granular control of sliders.

Thanks

Minor: The scope wants to keep previous data (scrambled) in the same space when swapping to/from True Bass and Processing, as opposed to repositioning itself to the center or clearing entirely.

Reproduction:
Open scopes on Processing
set scale low enough to show phosphor glow/fade
Open scopes on True Bass
Watch scope while switching back to Processing

There are probably more, but this is the first one I noticed this happening with. Beta 17 64bit

If you set any window size in old GUI and close it, then start new gui, wich will anyway have zoom 1.0, new gui window is smaller
https://i.imgur.com/findvBD.png
All i want to say that this is not normal, every part in new gui is huge compared to old gui, but window size itself is 42% smaller.
The zoom factor was indeed not saved/loaded correctly, that will be fixed in the next beta


The screen size issue was caused by a mismatch in what value was saved:
The old gui saved the size already compensated for dpi (i.e. the size as what it would have been at 100%)
The new gui just saved the current size and the current dpi and compensated during loading

This meant that a window of 1500x1500 at 150% in the old gui would get saved as 1000x1000, then when loading the new gui it would check the saved dpi (150%) against the current dpi (also 150%) and think: yep this is right, I'm done. The result: a window that is 100/150 = 2/3 the size.
Combine that with the zoom not saving, and presto: we get the behaviour in your screenshot.


The biggest problem (saved value mismatched) will be 'fixed' in the next beta.


There's also some other mismatching: it looks like one of the guis saves with borders and the other one without, but I'm not going to spend development time on this since it's not technically a bug in either of the interfaces.

The new web interface is being used. That specific issue was about the old one. I can't find a setting to change back to the old one in the web interface, if the older one still exists.

Put /st after the port for the old web GUI.
