stickers on modules

I still think it would be cool if we could apply small sticker labels as an overlay to each module. they could be round or square and different colors.

# stoermelder GLUE

GLUE is an utility module that provides the ability to put small text labels on modules in VCV Rack.

## Usage

Labels can be placed after "arming" the labeling-mode with the button *LABEL* (the LED is lit while active) and clicking on any module within your patch. Every label is attached to a specific module and will of course keep its place when moving the module around. After a new label has been placed GLUE "unlocks" itself automatically: In *locked mode* (LED is lit in yellow) all labels are "transparent" for any action and cannot be edited. In *unlocked mode* (LED off) labels can be moved within the boundaries of their modules and can be edited using the context menu.

While in *unlocked mode* you can use the hotkeys CTRL+A to place a label at the current position of the mouse pointer and CTRL+X to remove a label while hovering over it.

Since v1.9.0 there is a context menu option to consolidate the labels: If the current patch contains multiple GLUE-modules all except the current one will be removed and the labels are merged into one GLUE-module. This operation can be undo if needed.

## Opacity controls

There are global controls for opacity available which affect all labels of a GLUE instance: *HIDE* hides all labels temporarily, this switch can also be MIDI-mapped. Two buttons on *OPACITY* increase or decrease the opacity of all labels by 5%.

but there is evidence they are on the way, despite the total radio silence from the developer.

I built them myself yesterday from source, they work fine. Just FYI for anyone who can compile themselves

I heard that he was busy with other things (maybe work? hope so…) and that he would start working on them after the rack2 source code would have been released
