I'm kinda thinking it would be nice to be able to export an EXE that doesn't have the title bar and menu that a window normally has. It would be nice not to have a spiffy, shiny GUI ruined by the butt-ugly windows title bar etc.
I know there are important things like device selection in the window menu, but there are a good selection of primitives for directing, listing and selecting MIDI devices, so that aspect is already covered.
I admit that I don't know how easy or difficult the addition of a similar set of primitives would be to cover the audio ins/outs, and one would also need an "exit app on trigger event" primitive as well as the ability to drag the application around by, for example, clicking on an inactive part of the GUI. Or a "move window if boolean true" primitive. Or something.
I don't regard it as an SM shortcoming or anything, this is just something that just occurred to me while working on this patch editor; it would look vastly more slick without the usual goofy "windows attachments". Maybe I'm a little warped, but I'd get a kick out of creating the menu functionality to fit the look of the project.

bump on this one if possible.

Yes, would like this 2!
...and a loading screen is already on malcolm's wishlist...
P.S: also directX input would be a cool addition - but this is another story 😉

and while i think about it maybe having some modules that control the windows behaviour to i.e to shut the exe down completely and a minimise function too, then we can skin our own exe's.

Thinking aload here again, having some command line switches on the exe would be great, for min, max, close, size of window and posistion.
If its not possible can you resource hack the exe's i know you can do it to some effect on some exe's, but on sm exe's is it safe ??
