Feature request, fx Stacking, indication of fx enable/disable state in bin.
When I look at the Fx bin from Console View, I could not tell if fx was on or off? Maybe its me?? I may be missing something, hopefully...
Otherwise loving Ipswich!! BIG Thanks CW!!!

This is not how it looks on my Ipswich. I only have bright grey and dull gray, sometimes hard to tell which is which. And no blue, odd.

I don't see how that's possible. If you click on an FX button to open the GUI, the button has to change to either brighter blue (if enabled) or washed-out blue (if disabled). Bright grey means enabled, dull gray means bypassed.

I'm not crazy about how the colors in the FX bin work. I would like an easier way to tell what is going on.

Old fx bin was better but after a little tweaking I can live with the new style:  All I needed was enough difference between enabled and bypassed effects.

I think making the background on enabled effects lighter and the blue on enabled+open effects brighter would likely do the job without being too disruptive to the overall color design.

This overall color design should go to recycle bin as soon as possible, because makes work harder.

I agree with comments that it isn't clear, especially to old eyes like mine... i'm often checking to make sure of what I think...

I only have the two grays also, while the mouse is hovered over it it has a lt blue box highlight but as soon as you move the mouse it goes back to its gray state.

This would work fine for me... Though Panu's color choices are even easier to read, it only shows 2 states and not the needed 4...

I like that Craig. I could live with that. My only problem is the way color is used is unintuitive. Red text for bypassed makes more sense to me. Green for enabled blue for open. If color is used it should be clear.

Actually that does help ... all along I've been puzzled about why it's sometimes blue and sometimes not. A bit of a "duh" moment for me, but thanks!

Red text for bypassed makes more sense to me.
Try doing videos with red in them...it generally doesn't reproduce well, especially with video compression. Also green against blue would be hard to see. Besides, I think it's fairly intuitive that "bright" means happening, "dull" means not happening.

Why not simply make it customizable? It is the only logical decision.

I dream that this "Fifty Shades of Grey" interface would sink into oblivion, and "Ultracustomizable Rainbow Sparkles" interface come instead with 30 color presets for anyone's tastes.

Yeah, the graytones have been a problem here as well. I am constantly having to click power buttons in the rack to see if they get lighter or darker to make sure they are indeed on or off. Not a great situation.
I've never seen the blue thing which is weird because... well I should have at this point. Is that new in Ipswich?
I would MUCH rather have the blue be the "On" indicator and gray as "Off"... more like how it used to be in the FX Bin which was much easier to see what was active.
I like the rack... but the grayscale stuff needs to be fixed. I'd also like an option to disable the vertical expansion (in favor of scrolling like the old Bin had) for when I don't want the rack taking up as much vertical space (eg: when I'm not actually futzing around with FX).

Blue is not just open but also in focus. If you have two or more open plugins the one with focus with turn blue in the rack.

Yeah, the graytones have been a problem here as well. Well, the grays are usually a problem, what with abductions and all that...oh, gray tones. Never mind.  I am constantly having to click power buttons in the rack to see if they get lighter or darker to make sure they are indeed on or off. Not a great situation. Agreed; I too click to check status, which is not welcome in the heat of making music when you shouldn't have to think about parsing stuff. Not every SONAR user is working in a video editing suite environment. However... I would MUCH rather have the blue be the "On" indicator and gray as "Off"... more like how it used to be in the FX Bin which was much easier to see what was active. You do need to have four states - off, FX that's off selected, on, FX that's on selected. Otherwise if you have an effect with the focus and that effect is present in multiple channels, you don't know which one you're seeing. That's why I thought "whiter white" and "brighter blue" could work. I'd also like an option to disable the vertical expansion (in favor of scrolling like the old Bin had) for when I don't want the rack taking up as much vertical space (eg: when I'm not actually futzing around with FX). I think that's a good idea, as long as both options are available.

I checked this out on my system and I do not get the blue at all. I wonder why some have it and some don't ? I am on the Ipswich build also.

No the ones I tried were on the same track. Edit: Just tried it on different tracks also ,still no blue for me It's not an issue for me really, it has just piqued my curiosity.

This they way it looks to me when I click on an open plugin.  This is true in all FX Bin views.
