Changelog

• Backward-compatible with Viper4Linux-Legacy

• Support for Viper4Linux2 and its D-Bus interface

  • directly interact with gst-plugin-viperfx via its DBus interface, resulting in a much smoother experience when tuning presets!
  • fetch internal driver status data from viperfx-core (sample rate, driver state, ...)

• Customizable spectrum visualizer

  • Several graph styles: Bars, outline, gradient line

• Loads of animations and new widgets!

  • The EQ tab has been replaced by LiquidEQ with interpolated animations (inspired by V4A and JDSP)
  • All sliders are now animated as well
  • Several dialogs (settings, convolver, and driver status) are now displayed as animated bottom sheets
  • New settings layout
  • Animated tutorial/setup shown on the first launch

• Tray mode

  • Autostart the GUI on system boot in minimized tray mode

    This allows users to show/hide the window by clicking on the tray icon and lets them perform several quick actions via the tray context menu (dis-/enable viper, reload viper and load custom presets)

  • Additionally, you can also choose to start viper on boot as well

  • Customizable right-click context menu (tray icon)

    • Advanced context menu editor
    • Available menu items:
      • Global actions: Disable FX, reload viper
      • Sub-menus: Custom preset list, EQ/Dynsys/Colm preset lists, Bass/Clarity mode lists

• Built-in devices.conf manager

• Compatibility wizard to allow PulseEffects to coexist with a Viper installation

• Session management

  • Only one instance of this GUI can be launched at once. This is especially useful when tray mode is enabled since otherwise, a new tray icon would spawn every time a new instance is launched

    If you attempt to launch two instances, the newest one will shut itself down and send a D-Bus message to the other one. This will restore the already running instance from the systray or taskbar and raise it over the topmost window.

  • Launch the GUI with command line parameter -m/--allow-multiple-instances to allow multiple parallel instances

• Troubleshooting

  • Various checks to make sure if the correct version of viper is properly installed and active
  • Display an animated modal overlay with troubleshooting options if one of those checks failed

• Major rewrite/cleanup

• Modernized large code chunks and split them into multiple classes (and directories) to tidy up the MainWindow class, fixing tons of bugs in the process

• Minor changes

  • Fixed segfault in dynsys preset selection
  • Fixed IRS load/save bugs
  • Dynamic system: use decibel scale for bass-gain property
  • Use combo boxes instead of spinboxes for VB/VC mode input
  • New color schemes
  • Removed several style-sheets
  • Remember preset names in dropdown boxes (eq, dynsys)
  • Added command line parameter -t/--tray to launch this GUI minimized in tray mode
  • Added command line parameter -s /--startviper to launch viper.sh alongside the GUI
  • Better window handling
  • Launch new windows centered
