Using VDJ8 Build 2325.995 the clock on the top left of the screen (right next to the Virtual DJ banner) is so small I can not read it. I have found no way to enlarge it to be readable. Is there a way to enlarge it on the next update?

I researched and found the solution. I could not implement the solution however. Upon going into the skins VDJ8 4 Deck XML file, I do not get the script where I can change anything. I get a written summary of what is there. The other XML files in the skins display the written summary appears but then changes to a script where I can change the values.

What are you using to open the XML files? I recoomend notepad++ (not Microsofts notepad)
I do not know how limited skins are for home users however.

No limits for skinning as a NLU, that's just for LE.

The script you posted is what I get if I open the xml file fir vdj7 files. When I try to open the VDJ8 files I get :

When I open any of the xml files with a proper editor after axtracing them from the zip, it is laid out in code.
If I try to just dubble click and open the file, it opens with Internet Explorer and I get what you posted above.
As I asked above, what program are you trying to open it with.

You were right; it was opening in internet explorer. I changed the default to note pad and got the page I needed. Now I will attempt to change the clock size!!
Thanks

Finally changed the clock size. I could not save my changes but figured out, after an hour, that I had to unzip the file, make the change in the unzipped file and then copy and paste the changes into the zip file.
Being a child that was born when Harry Truman was president I find this new world challenging!
Thanks for the help!!!
