How to prevent gui elements from locking into grid?

Hi all,

I'm trying to finetune some gui elements of my plugin. There's plenty of .png files used in the gui. I'd like to adjust their placement with a pixel accuracy, but it seems as if SM forces me on the vector grid. Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks

I can't remember the exact way but you can move elements by a pixel at a time, indeed also at the sub-pixel level! You could try clicking on an element and then using the cursor keys to move it (maybe with CTRL or SHIFT held down) - I'm sure someone will tell you the correct way to do it - I don't have access to SM at the moment to check myself!

It was ctrl and arrow keys. Thanks. 🙂

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
