Question: I was wondering how the UI is rendered in Reaper. I assume its no Qt or GTK ( or am I wrong?) I really like the smoothness, low CPU usage and tweakability. Is it native, inherited from winamp, part of WDL??

    Pixels get put together using LICE which is part of WDL... for the various controls there's a lightweight virtual control system we made too. (WDL/wingui/). On Win32 we BitBlt() everything to screen from a DIB, on macOS it draws using Metal typically (speaking of which apparently this is very slow on M2 macs now for some reason grrrrr let me go get one of those)
