Comment:
Well, as most existing midi endpoints icons outwhere are flat ones, it
would make sense. But I actually agree with Stephan here, Haiku goes with
(pseudo)isometric vector icons, and there is not reason to not follow it
system wide, midi_server physical endpoints includes.
I also agree with the arrow for showing endpoint direction, red and green
while obvious visual colors are semantically ambiguous regarding
directions.
Anyway, nothing more easy than replacing some HVIF raw bytes with another
"better-looking" ones.
I'll add HVIF support to midi_server soon (hopefully tonight) and use one
of Pete's icon for a start.
I also plan to import an HVIF-aware PatchBay under src/tests/kits/midi.
Maybe this usefull tool could be promote as an MIDI app beside MIDI
Player, BTW. Sadly, his current code breaks pretty much every coding
rules...
