VST2 & 3 window is a pest on Linux #6

Open ArborealAudio opened 1 month ago

VST windowing (2 & 3) is generally busted on Linux
You get an anyopaque despite the X11 API wanting an unsigned int The best I could come up with was casting the incoming *anyopaque with @intFromPtr but that still doesn't give you a valid window handle. Reinterpreting it as an integer doesn't work either. Gotta find out what kind of data the host is sending in and in what form.

~* All platforms: If you don't provide arbor.features.GUI in a plugin, the VST2 will still make a blank window for some reason.~

It also could have to do with not having a timer setup on Linux to repaint with
