Scaler 3 GUI Settings

I haven’t found a GUI settings section in SCALER 3. I would like to make some changes that help me see the text on the gui’s dark background. If I missed it,please let me know where to find GUI settings. If there is not a GUI setting available, please advise how to make a feature request.

Greatly enjoying the product!

I think that “themes” will come later

Sorry, themes, will come later. Really. That was the only reason, I coughed up more money. In fact, Davide, in a previous thread, said that would be addressed with 3 - it hasn’t been.

This is not the way to treat, trusting customers. A fundamental issue such as a useable gui (for all) was, I thought, a priority. So more money and still difficult to use, for me, becauses of the dark gui,

I am sorry too
I commented because I think to remember that devs stated that certain features that are currently lacking/flawed will be added/fixed in next versions of the same release; so e.g. SC3.1 or SC3.2 etc.

It seems a theme, that promises are made and not delivered. Poor.

So true. But this seems to be a common problem in nowadays software: It seems “modern” to have terrible, much too dark GUI: Scaler 3, Sampletank, Chordjam, Audio Cypher, Magix Music Maker - all the same. Is it too complicated to program a much brighter GUI as an option? So the users can choose which one they prefer. And indeed: What can be more important than to offer a GUI the user is happy with?

It’s really hard to accomodate everyone. Same issue with Scaler 1, same issue with Scaler 2, same issue with practically every music software company I know.
One persons trash is another persons treasure. Yes, there have been a few of our valued users that struggled with the GUI, but a large majority loved it and still do. Having an interface that is customisable or a different skin will come and at least an alternative skin but even then it will not please everyone.

I created another thread about the GUI but will mention here as well. With all the huge 4k screens around today, it’s disappointing that Scaler 3 does not allow you to resize both vertically and horizontally - just proportionately. Lots of wasted space that would allow you to see so much more of the interface:

Not being mean here, guys, but did you ever think about the actual job of creating a pleasing GUI?

Then let me show you this. It’s the editor for an abandoned plugin called Nora (too sad it’s gone, btw!).

It looks quite simple … not much to change here. Really? Let me guide you through the process. Not the whole one, of course, because we all don’t have that much time.

The usual GUI:

Let’s change it! Because we can!

We start with the colour editor. The most interesting one, no?

Needs our closer look.

We’re not done yet, not at all.

Needs more decisions. Good decisions! Otherwise, someone will start shitstorm … Ok, here we go!

Look, dear Scaler-folks … sometimes it’s just the tip of an iceberg that you’re seeing when loading an app.


Oh, and sorry for the post that might come across as somewhat unfriendly. It isn’t. :face_blowing_a_kiss:

Yet, again. You keep promising, but not delivering. I paid for the second time in a few months. What I got was an impenetrable upgrade.

Too dark to see anything, incredibly tedious and tiring to look up or work with.

I can’t see you delivering on ‘promises.’ The only option is to ask for a refund on Scaler 3 and just put up with the limitation of v2.

Not impressed.

Hi David.
I think the more simple way as offering different UI themes could be
a -set UI, and binded key COLOR or/and brightness slider.
I would like to love it.

Just a inverted version (a bright one) maybe in the first step only a fix bright version and later more color options.

Yup, how hard can that be? This is a fundamental issue. Why marr a, potentially, great product like this?

All good suggestions! Been learning and must admit that it is very disappointing, on my 48" 4k monitor in Lanscape mode, to constantly be scrolling through the GUI - because (as I mentioned above) Scaler 3 does not allow you to resize vertically and/or horizontally - like, for example, Toontrack products.
