Nice one fruit.
Thing to note, get vu_meter and get level appear to be backwards to my mind

I have a question too.
We can have a <visual type="color" source="constant '#xxxxxx'" visibility="50%"/>
Is there a word to have a gradient instead of a constant ?

You can have <mask x="" y="" /> inside the visual. <visual>.....<mask></mask></visual>
where x,y should point to a Black/transparent gradient area. If not mistaken width and height are not needed, it will use the one of the visual.
The above is of course for a gradient of a single color.. E.g. if you want to start from pure red and end up with what you have in background. If you need a gradient of 2 colors, i believe you could try 2 visuals like the above with inverted masks , but i havent tried that so its just a theoretical approach.

Yes of course I can draw something in the png...
But what is cool with those small 'type="color"' new visuals is that you don't have to use a png part ! A begining of... kind of virtual drawing tools...
Would be really cool if we could set a gradient the same way without using png, such as :
<visual type="color" source="gradient '#000000' '#008bff'" direction="up"/>
<visual type="color" source="gradient '#000000' 'transparent'" direction="left"/>
OR, if we wouldn't put a second color, it would grade to the transparency.
It should be a great powerfull tool to have shadows, lightings and reflections, or other very discreet visual enhancements that should make a real difference in user experience.
If such tools are really greatly improved, we can ever imagine a skin without any png LOL !

Well the mixer on my 6 deck squeeze is coming on, still stuff to add/line up but I'm pretty happy.
http://tinypic.com/r/esn9qb/8
Next question, I'd like to add a (invisible) button to the eq dials to effect eq_kill (sharing the same space as the textzone), can I do it in the defines a mere 6 times or do I have to do it 12 times (per eq dial), and I also what to add a visual for 'eq_kill ? on: off '
<define class="knobb" classdeck="1">
<slider orientation="round">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="47" height="47"/>
<down x="1521" y="1201"/>
<up x="1521" y="1201"/>
<mousemask x="1521" y="1201"/>
<fader anglemin="-150" anglemax="+150">
<size width="47" height="47"/>
<pos x="1734" y="1201"/>
</fader>
</slider>
<slider orientation="circle" relative="no" rightclick="temporary">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<circle direction="cw" anglemin="-150" anglemax="150"/>
<size width="47" height="47"/>
<off x="1521" y="1297"/>
<on x="1571" y="1201"/>
<mousemask x="1571" y="1297"/>
</slider>
<textzone>
<pos x="+0" y="+41"/>
<size width="47" height="11"/>
<text size="13" weight="bold" color="#E1E1E1" align="center"/>
</textzone>
Could I just stick the button and visual here?,
</define>
*edit* just had a thought could I just add to the text zone, per button like this
<textzone>
<text format="LOW"/>
<text action="eq_kill_low"/>
</textzone>

Textzones can have a leftclick action i.e. <textzone leftclick="eqkill_high" rightclick="" dblclick=""/>
Your actions can even be like "holding 1000ms ? do this : do that".
Actions can be added to textzones defines.
So no need for buttons there, you may just enhance the textzone.

Ok a small one this time,
I've cranked a horizontal scratch wave very left so the event line is where I want it, because of this the scratch wave is rendering over the boarder line, (see the left edge of the white line)
http://tinypic.com/r/2uqd75d/8
I'm guessing V8 renders the xml in order so I need to write the boarder after the scratch wave, so what's the left edge boarder known as? or is it just that there isn't a declare of it and normally stuff doesn't over lap the edge of the first 1810 px, and I have to invent a boarder.

You could just put a visual in front of the part you want to hide.
Otherwise, I'm an unsure scratch forms can have a "center" property, but you must have tried yet.

Next question I want to add a menu to right click of a colour button, this is my button
<button action="toggle '$d1'" class="colorbutton">
<tooltip>Include this deck for multideck scripting</tooltip>
<pos x="+653" y="+8"/>
<text align="center" weight="bold" format="1"/>
</button>
My menu will look something like this, (there'll actually be 4 slots and 6 decks but I've kept it brief for simplicities sake)
Slot A
--------Deck 1
--------Deck 2
Slot B
-------Deck 1
-------Deck 2
<button action="toggle '$d1'" class="colorbutton">

<pos x="+653" y="+8"/>

There is no action to use for the menu, so you cant really use that as right click action on a button.
You can just have <menu> and define its pos, size, on/off/over graphics and its items.

But,
If your button acts like a visual, meaning you never click it, the menu can stand over it.
Also you can do two parts on your button, to let a zone to click, and one other area hovering a part of the button to show the menu.

Hmm, rethink time, it could be a visual/menu hybrid as fruit recommended, it's annoying that both left and right click bring up a menu.
So anyway how do I nest into sub menus? Like this
menu
--------1
--------------1A
--------------1B
-------2
--------------2A
--------------2B
/menu

Is there a way to customize the gradients whose show when activating a loop on forms and scratchforms ?
With the rhythmzone widget ? Or if not with the rhythm one ?

Sorry to interupt fruit before your question was answered but next question
Can I have text on a visual? This is what I have but no text is visible.
<visual source="var '$deckA' 1" class="colorVisual">
<pos x="+653" y="+8"/>
<text format="1"/>
<tooltip>Deck assign</tooltip>
</visual>

Put a button instead.

That's a problem, the visual is covering an invisble open menu command, and a button can't call a menu.
http://pbrd.co/1AVLwDI
So I'm guessing I'll have to actually render/define 6 open menu sprites (each a different colour, each a different number for each of the six decks) unless there's another way.
*Pot shot here*
Could I not write the menu after the button and then a click will open the menu and not toggle the button?
