Deere: Overlapping in effect region at minimum width

[Daniel Schürmann]

see screenshot

[Be (be.ing)]

This only happens when:
1. An effect with lots of parameters is loaded
2. Parameters are showing for that effect unit
3. The window is at the minimum width

I don't see any way around this other than making the effect parameter knobs and labels tiny.

or give parameter names, link & link invert buttons a
- minimum size (knob width + x)
- maximum size (current fixed size)
- size policy min
and do the same for effect selector (size policy me)

This way everything would look like it does now on big screens, on small screens labels, link buttons & effect selector can shrink but the overlapping would be gone.

Yes, that would be the ideal solution. But our skin system is not smart enough to implement such responsive designs. There is the SizeAwareStack widget, but I don't think that's a great solution. I think this is an example where QML could be really helpful. With QML, I think it would be fairly easy to conditionally define the dimensions of the knob widgets to take into account the available space.

I think WEffectSelector must be a fixed size because Qt does not take into account the width of the text for the items it contains when determining how to size it dynamically.

it works in LateNight. no SizeAwareStack, just <Min>, <Max> and <SizePolicy>

Okay, if you'd like to try fixing this in Deere for 2.1, please do.

If I need some distraction from work, I'll try.
not sure that I'll have the time to make it look super nice, but it can work for the extreme cases.

I can do this the day after tomorrow.
Is there an agreed release date?
