try this:
action="skin_pannel 'jog_1' on ? skin_pannel 'jog_1' off & skin_pannel 'jog_2' on : skin_pannel 'jog_1' on & skin_pannel 'jog_2' off'" tooltip="change jog"

You could also use:
skin_panelgroup 'jogwheel' +1

Which will scroll through the available panels in that group.

You guys are awesome thank you again .

I am slowly getting my head round the new skin engine its just a little bit harder for me as I have dyslexia .

I have another question if it is okay to ask I would like to put some info into that panel that I have now created . From the browser is this possible .

This is the info I want to use

The info panel itself is hard coded and not skinable. The only options you can add are those available in the drop down menu.

In theory you could create a new info panel using split panels in the browser but I am yet to fully understand how that works.

Hi guys need some help again not sure what I’m doing wrong here As all of the other elements show fine .

I am trying to put play symbol in middle of Jog

I have tryed

<visual action="play_button">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="26" height="25"/>
<on x="170" y="1478"/>
</visual>

And this one

<button action="play_button">
<size width="26" height="25"/>
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<down x="170" y="1478"/>
<selected x="170" y="1478"/>
</button>
 

Posted Fri 23 Nov 18 @ 6:49 am
You could try this:

<visual type=“onoff” source="play">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="26" height="25"/>
<on x="170" y="1478"/>
</visual>

Or:

<visual type=“onoff” source="on" visibility=“play”>
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="26" height="25"/>
<on x="170" y="1478"/>
</visual>

Never mind guys manage to sort it not sure what the problem was . I restarted VDJ and it appeared . Maybe confuse the skin engine as I’m constantly re-loading skin in virtual . Does anyone know of a shortcut rather than going into config each time

I have a button over the logo with the action “load_skin”. This refreshes the skin when I click the logo.
