I went to a Barnes and Noble (a large book store with comfy chairs) yesterday and to my present surprise they had the Qt book from Trolltech. I read most of chapter 8, the one on QCanvas. It was quite an exciting read (really!). Got me thinking about amaroK's equalizer. Personally I find it cumbersome to use, it seems like it (and pretty much all computer equalizers) limit themself to being an analogy to the real world equalizer. However last year on my computer, aRTs had this really nifty equalizer that worked kind of like a line graph. You could define points on the line and drag them around, it was really the first equalizer that I found worth using. It came in handy when I DJed for a dance. Since then, I really don't know what happened to this aRTs plugin, I can't find the source for it anywhere.

So after wrestling with the KDevelop C++ template last night (it doesn't work with unsermake for some reason) I have successfully drawn a line across a qcanvas. I plan on developing it as a separate app and putting it into amaroK somehow when it is done. I'm not sure how it should integrate itself into amaroK, since the current equalizer has the advantage of being very simple to figure out.

We've missed you mxcl!
