Hi all!
I though long about whether I should or should not release this skin. But I thought it might be helpful for colleagues, so here it is.
I just submitted my skin called "Dance Infinite". It is a modification of DJDad's SWAP 4 Decks skin. I invested countless hours of work in making this more and more a workhorse for myself. I threw out functions that I dont need, others I placed differently. My goal was to have a skin that has a large browser area, and a large wave form, so I can "see" the song better. I am not using beatmatching a lot, for me more important is to find songs quickly and have as little distraction as possible.
I am using this skin with either my Macbook's keyboard or with a little Numark controller.
Some notes:
- I have very limited time and did this mainly for myself. So therefore the code is far away from being tidy and clean, and I am pretty much unable to deliver support. If people find this useful - great. Then use it like it is, or continue the work by adding your own modifications.
- I am running this skin on a 15' Macbook with Retina display, and I havent checked this on Windows and other resolution displays.
- I used the font "Roboto" that can be downloaded from Google. I like the clean and spacious look of it.
- To let the skin look like in the preview image, it is necessary to change the waveform color to "Ultra-Blue" and switch "Cover-Flow" off in the setting/options.
Hope this is useful to anybody. I appreciate comments and feedback. Especially I would love to hear from DJDad if he is OK with my modifications, as without his great work, I would never have been able to do this.

Can you try ..
<browser lineheight="2.0">
...
</browser>
without this special fint and see if that works ?
If it works, please re-submit the skin with the new addition.
You can also offer a menu with a few line height options, so you need to have 3-4 <browser > elements with visibility and lineheight="1,0" (default), 2.0, 3.0 etc.
lineheight parameter has been recently added (will add to Wiki), and definetly works with custom browser (<folderslist>, <filelist> etc),- i have tested that, so probably works with <browser> as well.

Just did it. great to know that this works now. I have set it to Lineheight 1.4 and it looks good, so no need for Roboto.
I agree that a button/menu for selecting the line height would be cool, but as I mentioned, i have very limited time...

Thanks for this skin.
My mods:
Move min/max/close to right side (as should be for PC). Move branding slightly left to create space.
Modify clock to display 12 hour (my preference). Click to switch between 12 & 24 with seconds.
Move VDJ logo to left, replacing min/max/close.
Modify 'key' display to show harmonic (my preference) but also be switchable between harmonic/key.

Hi Groovin,
good modifications. As you might have guessed I am using a Mac and 24h time display here in Germany. I know there is a lot of potential to add/tweak in this skin, feel free to adjust what works best for you.
Fyi, I am using this skin with a controller, so many functions that are not included in the skin I access directly through the buttons/faders, like SYNC etc....
