Thanks for your help Arne.
Arne_Scheffler (post:2, topic:1012082): “You either have to set the save option in the WYSIWYG editor to Encode Bitmaps in XML.”
- I used both save modes, but only the
editor.uidesc file is generated.
Arne_Scheffler (post:2, topic:1012082): “You have to modify your CMakeLists.txt to add the bitmaps as resources:”
smtg_target_add_plugin_resources(${target}
RESOURCES
resource/background.png
resource/slider_background.png
resource/slider_handle.png
resource/slider_handle_2.0x.png
resource/vu_on.png
resource/vu_off.png
)
I don’t have any of these PNG files in my VSTsdk or vstGUI folders.
Have you associated your own skins with these components?

Knob Button: seemed to work correctly, but probably missed a part of its skins.
Vu Meter: Fails (no skin).
SegmentButton: Responds to click actions, but also lacks a skin.
Questions:
Can I use custom skins to link to the components?
For the Vu Meter, it seems tricky—any suggestions?
thanks again!!
