Well, while this appears to be a reasonable solution, i really don't think the problem is actually the Toolbar. and its overlapping buttons. The Browser height is too limited to work with if you have all panels displayed. Some of the available panels will be opened to adjust or look at something and then close again. I dont expect users to have all of them opened and trying to work with such a small browser.

But it shouldn't happen, surely? And indeed it doesn't on the previous version of the skin. The icons simply resize and remain separated from each other.
It also doesn't happen when run on my laptop (32 bit Windows 8.1). It only happens on my main tower PC (Windows 10 64 bit) on both 32 and 64 bit versions of VDJ.

The difference between the 2 versions in regards of resizing, is a colored square as background before start drawing any element, which has a "stretch" parameter, so Browser auto-limitations in height don't apply in this case. In previous version, the skin background was coming from the graphics file. The new version is using a vector element for this, reducing the size of the png dramatically.
Weird that you see different results on your 2 Win computers. I ll try to find one with Win 8/7, as all of my computers are on Win 10 atm and figure out why.

Thanks for the reply, yes I shall continue using version 1.2 as, imho, it's the best skin to show the maximum browser viewing area. Looking forward to being able to use the new version.

Yes, I am aware of that. I mentioned something in my earlier post (maybe you missed it as I added it after posting):

Presumably it's related to the b/g graphics being drawn by VDJ?
I encountered something similar a few days ago when I added a colour tint option to a skin. With the tint graphics (drawn by VDJ) being full size behind the browser, the browser wasn't resizing properly. I reduced the tint to just the deck area (so it wasn't hidden under the browser) and the problem went away.

Yep fixed, just noticed that pads 1-4 led is thinner/smaller than pads 5-8 but that's just splitting hairs.
Some great touches in this skin, like the 3rd info line options, the clarity of the pad labels [it's very hard to spot any difference between x86 & x64] the pad leds as lines, [not new but far clearer than the dot the default uses] the custom button placement on the 4 deck skin.
If vdj ever shipped with an alternate native skin, this would be it. Good work from all the team that made this skin happen.

Reason i didnt add this, is due to the limited available height. Adding Sampler would make browser very short, with just 4 decks and Sampler block.
Why do you actually miss that ? One thing i will probably add is Sampler Effects, actually its the only thing missing from the Sideview Sampler view.

Don't go mad on my account, I was being super critical. We are only talking a pixel.

Found a little bug on 4decks:
If you change to external mix-mode, the white triangle in the wave-display doesn't fit:

When selecting 'deck info line' from the skin options menu, a box opens up on screen, but the info is cut off and it doesn't seem possible to resize.

I cant do much about that. The issue is that VDJ stores information of floating windows globally inside the same setting, and not per skin. This means that if you load a skin with a window, resize it and then load another skin with a totally different (in dimensions) window, you may end up like your case.
Solution for now, is to delete the content of the skinPosition and skinVisibility settings and restart

Ok I did it myself. I just made the window slightly bigger (in the XML code) than the contents, so the resize works.

Thats not a solution either (editing the XML) - or even a safe workaround - because it may happen again next time you load skins with floating windows.
