Hi All,

I am currently editing (Read: Re-arranging) the browser-zoom skin (4 decks) that I downloaded a while back.. Only thing is, I want to change the colours in the browser - But I can't find the code for it anywhere in the XML file.. Does anyone know where it is??

Once I know where it is I am capable of editing it manually - I spent a couple of hours yesterday doing everything else I wanted to do and It's all going to plan so far :)

Thanks a lot,

Just search the xml file for <browser

I did, and I can find the code that sets the position of the browser - but it just looks like this - there are no colour options at all in any of the code for the browser..



Thank You!!

From the skin wiki:

The <browser> element

The browser element sets the space that will be used to draw VirtualDJ's Browser (Folders list, Songs List, Sideview, Info). More than 1 <browser> elements can be also displayed, and those can be also numbered. Custom Browsers is also possible using <split> panels. Browsers can be nested in panels and have visibility=""

The syntax of the browser element is :
<browser toolbar="yes" effects="yes" >
<pos x="13" y="547" width="1898" height="525" />
<colors background="#2E2E2E">
<toolbars background="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" iconbackground="#2E2E2E" border="#2E2E2E" />
<lists background="#2E2E2E" stripes="#2E2E2E" over="#2E2E2E" overstripes="#2E2E2E" selected="#2E2E2E" focus="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" overtext="#2E2E2E" selectedtext="#2E2E2E" focustext="#2E2E2E" automix="#2E2E2E" livefeedback="#2E2E2E" download="#2E2E2E" scan="#2E2E2E" button="#2E2E2E" buttonover="#2E2E2E" buttonselected="#2E2E2E" buttonactive="#2E2E2E" insert="#2E2E2E" />
<grids background="#2E2E2E" over="#2E2E2E" selected="#2E2E2E" focus="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" overtext="#2E2E2E" selectedtext="#2E2E2E" focustext="#2E2E2E" stripes="#2E2E2E" overstripes="#2E2E2E" selectedstripes="#2E2E2E" focusstripes="#2E2E2E" label="#2E2E2E" />
<columns background="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" />
<scrollbars background="#2E2E2E" button="#2E2E2E" />
<info background="#2E2E2E" stripes="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" label="#2E2E2E" artist="#2E2E2E" title="#2E2E2E" />
<search background="#2E2E2E" border="#2E2E2E" selected="#2E2E2E" text="#2E2E2E" cursor="#2E2E2E" />
<prelisten background="#2E2E2E" border="#2E2E2E" selected="#2E2E2E" cursor="#2E2E2E" button="#2E2E2E" buttonbackground="#2E2E2E" buttonselected="#2E2E2E" />
</colors>
<font size="20" />
<fontheader size="20" />
<fontgridtitle size="20" />
</browser>

Only position is required, all other elements are optional.
<colors background="transparent"> can be used to create a transparent background.
Note that in this case, it is strongly advised to set skin breakline and breakline2 in order to prevent issues when stretching the browser.

So do I just copy in the bits about colour etc. after the <pos...> bit on a new line??

Thanks again :)

If you wish to share a version 8 Skin, then you will need to upload it to the correct section... http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/upload.html
Once you do that, the Team will review your skin and will make it available for users once the evaluation is completed.
Thanks
