It's a very old design decision. If there is no text defined for a given number, Rosegarden hides that number from the user. I tried to work around this years ago with a device definition containing nothing but numbers. Even if that solution is good enough in general, it doesn't do you any good if you can't access the damn device manager to load the thing, does it? I just experimented with the size problem you reported. I remember why this thing sets itself to a fixed size now, and I did that myself. The dialog is useless at less than minimum size, because it has no scrollbars, and I can't come up with a reasonable way to tweak that. Surely that's what I concluded a million years ago too, and that's why it ended up this way. It's been good enough for everyone for quite a long time now, so the most reasonable thing to do is see if we can get you to live with it like everybody else, and simply change nothing. Could you use the Alt key to drag the dialog around without its title bar? Do you have something in place that's overriding the 9 pt. fonts it's set to use? I know, in a perfect world and all that, but this isn't a perfect world. Did I mention I've always REALLY sucked with Qt Designer, and that's why I do all of my own GUI layouts in raw code? Wasn't my decision to make this dialog in Designer, but I sure don't want to rewrite it from scratch and debug all of that to please one user either. Pick your battles... -- D.
