Feature request: Add a property to use the DAW's default GUI only, bypassing pure data's GUI #276

A plugin made with Camomile looks to the end user like a pure data patch, some Camomile plugins also have custom backgrounds but overall the design of Camomile plugins look very pd-like.

To get a more "modern" design on a plugin you could only use the parameter knobs from your DAW's GUI, like in this screenshot below:

A cool feature to have is to add a property called noGUI or defaultGUI or bypassPDGUI (or something like that) that allows plugin makers to bypass the pure data interface altogether and that way the plugins would render like the picture above only.

With noGUI implemented plugin makers can focus more on the DSP and get that "airwndows" look.
