1st Working User Interface

With the works almost all in place i started working on the UI. I changed the window wize from 500x200 to 500x375 to correspond to the image size to be placed in the background.

The black background is now replaced by the image of a stage - ties in with the orchestra sounds we have going on ;) Since we are still testing, I left the signal stroke there (the line that wiggles when there is a clip playing) this will help us identify what music is playing and what not. However, this can easily be removed by remove the stroke, to reveal a very clean background image.

This is what it looks like without the line:



I also cleaned the code up a little because the size of the window was being declared for every i time a new sound clip is brought on. This wasn't necessary as the size of the window is created at startup and is independent of any music clips.

I tested the start and stop, volumn up and down keys using this user interface and it works well.

Let me know what you think :) Everything is drop boxed.
