 Description  « Hide
Record something from the SoundRecorder, open a WaveEditor from the menu button. The layout looks broken, the slider is almost invisible, close and menu buttons should use standard icons, balloon help is missing, "show envelope" and "show fft" should only open a graph not an editor - basically this needs an overhaul to make it at least as nice as the SoundRecorder.

On the Mac, the layout doesn't look broken, the slider is not invisible, and there's balloon help.

Close and menu do need standard icons and I'm not really sure about envelope & FFT, but they don't seem to work.

Has some of this been fixed already, or is the layout/slider/balloon parts an OLPC thing?

By no means essential, and at the best of times this is a great but distinctly unpolished and undocumented tool. Hopefully someone in the community will care to take on making substantial improvements to this tool, so that it could actually be accessible to kids.
