DarkAudacity 2.3.2x, changes since earlier versions.
Many of the changes pioneered in Dark Audacity 2.1.3x have now ben integrated
into mainstream Audacity 2.3.2. Audacity has updated its standard (light)
theme to use much of the new design. Audacity now offers our dark theme as
a new option. Audacity has reorganised its menus to be more compact.
There isn't a lot of difference between DarkAudacity and Audacity. That's
mainly because I've been doing the work of modifying Audacity to have the
new features.
Dark Audacity is working well as a way to blaze new trails. These are
some key differences between DarkAudacity 2.3.2x and Audacity 2.3.2.
* Interface:
* Dark is the default theme.
* Mute and Solo buttons are stacked rather than side-by-side.
* Larger cursor position indicator in Selection Toolbar.
* Combined Device, Meter and Mixer toolbars into one simpler toolbar.
* Option of LED meters (it's the new default).
* Different Logos.
* Clutter on left of track panel removed rather than moved to the bottom.
* Other Changes:
* Installer ships without manual; Translations not installed; accessibility
support not enabled. Only Windows. [These save me a lot of time in
preparing a release - e.g 3 platforms = 3x the work.].
Bug fixes:
* 82 bugs we knew about in 2.1.2x addressed, 66 closed, 16 had some residual
problems after the fixes. These issues included a dramatic slowdown when
using Lyrics Window with lots of lyrics (fully fixed), and labels
being written at the wrong position in some circumstances (fully fixed). I'm
not listing all these issues, but this gives an idea of the kind of issue.
* At least as much work has gone into other issues which we did not know about
when we released 2.1.2x. These were for example caused by work on new
features, and usually were in those features, or came to light as a result
of code review (mostly code review by Paul).
