This is from an anwer I published to an old comment so I republish it as a proper question.
I did not test every knob style thoroughly but these are the different problems I encountered with the 'linear_vertical' style :
- 'trackBackgroundColor' does not work as it does with the default style 'rotary_vertical', it is always the same color.
- The fonts don't scale with the UI as they do with the default style.
- If there is no room to display the full label, a shortened name (given with "parameterName") is supposed to be displayed instead, I think (?), but this does not seem to work with 'linear_vertical'.
The style 'linear_bar_vertical' also does not seem to scale properly with the UI compared to the default knob style.
For example, this is noticeable with the 'Cassette Tape Organ' instruments available for free at DecentSamples where the frames around the knobs overlap when resizing the window.
I noticed this kind of defect with my own presets so I used 'rotary_vertical' as it works better overall.
Thanks in advance
