[BUG] several windows don't have "Yoshimi" in the name and are always opened maximum size in a tiling WM

[zizlog]

Using a tiling WM you can ignore or float window with specific classes, names or roles from being tiled. Having added Yoshimi to names in "Float Windows" it works for most of Yoshimi's windows but not for:

1. Bank Search
2. Scales
3. Recent {Instruments|Sets|States|Scales}

They are all tiled with maximum size behind all other Yoshimi windows.

Desired behavior: like the windows with "Yoshimi" in the title.

The 'Yoshimi' prefix was dropped from these windows as they are quite narrow and difficult to read with the full title. Presumably this means your WM doesn't recognise them as part of Yoshimi. I'll see what can be done about it.

Hmmm. Scales does have Yoshimi in the title, so there's something else causing this. Can you see if things like the freemode envelope or formant filter editor windows also do this?

Yes, Scales does, it's Recent Scales which doesn't have Yoshimi in the title.

What or rather where exactly is the freemode env and the formant filter?

I find Yoshimi still difficult to navigate due to its complexity and all windows being the color. Customizing colors in a custom theme doesn't seem to be as easy as I thought.

OK, well go for the easiset one Bank Search. Frst off go to /src/UI/BankUI.fl

At line 544 change: label {Bank Search}

to: label {Yoshimi: Bank Search}

Recompile, then see if that now behaves as wanted.

If that works there are several others that are likely to need changing.

In the AddSynth window click on the 'E' button in the Envelope panel to display the Freemode window. Also try the dark blue 'C' and 'P' buttons. I'm expecting these to have the same problem.

Another likely one is in the Filter panel. Use its menu to change analog to formant, then click on the Edit button that appears. This will show the formant editor.

The dropdown menu entries are likely be a bit more complicated :(

Making individual windows different colours would be extremely complex. There are all built with the same structures.

Should be OK in the latest build V 2.3.0.3
