Thanks for the PR! A couple things that didn't work properly last time I looked at this seem to work better now, so that's great!

When I merge this, I"ll end up cherry picking most of the relevant changes into my own vizia update branch I'd been working on. I'll need to redo the changes to the non-example plugins for copyright purposes (I want to keep full copyright over the GPL'd plugins so I can use bits and pieces in later projects if I want to).

Some things I noticed that still need work are:

• The styling and handling for text entry in all of the widgets is still broken. I'll have to see if I can fix this on nih_plug_vizia's side or if these are regressions on Vizia.
• A lot of positioning and sizing logic had to be juggled around. Is the current approach from this PR going to be the final behavior for Vizia 1.0, or are things still in flux?
• Font handling broke between the old Vizia version and this one. That's a cosmic-text issue. The workaround of having to explicitly specify font weights instead of being able to use alternative family names like Noto Sans Thin is a bit of a pain but I don't see them fixing this bug anytime soon.
• This PR still has lots of warnings and debugging code, but I have already fixed most of those warnings in my branch from a couple months ago so I'll just cherry pick the remaining changes there instead.

I pushed a change to vizia and this PR that should fix this now.

I've mentioned it before somewhere but will repeat it here for clarity, the main difference is that the old morphorm had Auto min-size, which would stop the parent from being smaller than the children even if the width/height was fixed. I tried to replicate this in new morphorm recently but failed and had to revert. Therefore, the new version of morphorm does not support auto min-size and if you want that behaviour then the closest thing is to specify auto size on the parent instead. I'm not planning on changing this behaviour any time soon and not before the first release.

It is unfortunate but I have tried to address this in the PR.

Okie dokey 👍

I'm curious, has the patched fork diverged from Vizia such that you don't plan to merge the changes? Is there a reason not to PR the changes & depend on the original repo?

There are no diverging changes. Every patch has been upstreamed already a long time ago. The version of Vizia nih_plug_vizia uses right now is just an old version. There are still a number of bugs and regressions that need to be fixed in the latest Vizia version before I can update to the latest version. See the vizia-update branch for the current status.

@robbert-vdh was the vizia-update branch moved? I'm getting a 404

It was merged into main 🙂 but Robbert did it himself so this one is no longer valid.
