I called for compositing "on" while there were only a few AU with GUI available but unfortunately, people
seemed not interested at this time :-(
Things are so much easier with compositing...


The only hosts I know that can support compositing are :
- AU Lab (which makes me think there is still hope...)
- CVS version of SynthTest

ps : Peter, augui should support both compositing and non compositing with no extra work. If there is a problem with some augui controls, you can fill a bug ;-)

I don't think that there's a single AU host that provides compositing windows for AUCarbonViews. Hardly any AUs out there have AUCarbonViews that work correctly in compositing windows. I wish that this had been specified from the start, that AUCarbonView windows must be compositing, or at least the views should support compositing, cuz compositing windows work much better. But unfortunately now there's a situation where we're probably not going to be seeing hosts use compositing Carbon windows for a long time cuz of widespread non-support among AUCarbonViews...

I just spend the last couple of month converting my Cocoa UI to Carbon with the help of AUGUI and a lot of custom HIView stuff,
i felt i had to abandon the Cocoa UI since there was to few hosts and the behavior was not the same across Cocoa UI hosts,
i even had a way of using Cocoa UI in Carbon only hosts.
Even though it was a very good learning experience there was a lot of reinventing the wheel compared to using Cocoa.
While testing i used the AudioUnitHosting.app that only supports non compositing windows and i also tested with Logic
and a few other hosts and everything was fine, but before releasing i just checked with compositing on and it was not working :(
so a list with what type of UI the hosts use would be a very nice aid in determining what to support.


The best thing would of course be if there was only one type of GUI , since the GUI is the most time consuming part of an AU, it's
very difficult to maintain several different types with small hacks for all the different hosts.
