What ever works best for you Matt. There are often multiple ways of achieving the same result.

One thing to note - the VDJ 8 skin engine is stricter about layers (things on top of other things) than earlier versions were. The order that they're placed in the XML determines priority.

Hi guys wondering if you could tell me the best way of creating this .
I want to create nametags when toggling through the options This is the code I am using . Works fine would just like to add label above it to tell you which option you are using so example if the display is set to BPM there is a label above it saying BPM if it is set to remaining time I want a label above to say remaining . So the labels switch when text sounds are changed
<textzone>
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text font="Arial" size="23" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" format="%Pleft"/>
<text font="Arial" size="23" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" format="%Pbpmex"/>
<text font="Arial" size="34" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" format="%pitchrange%%"/>
<text font="Arial" size="44" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" action="get_beat_counter"/>
</textzone

You should do that with variables.
<button action="cycle '@$DisplayVal' 4">
<pos x="+65" y="-30"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text action="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? get_text 'TIME' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? get_text 'BPM' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 2 ? get_text 'RANGE' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 3 ? get_text 'BEAT'"/>
</button>
Then change your textzone to this:
<textzone>
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text font="Arial" size="23" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" action="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? get_text '%Pleft' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? get_text '%Pbpmex' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 2 ? get_text '%pitchrange%%' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 3 ? get_beat_counter'"/>
</textzone>
PS: You can use the variable to even change the color if you wish (on your bytton, your text, or both
PS2: In order to change the text you must click on the "caption" label/button. However you can override that by using two textzones and a transparent button on top
PS3: If you really need to alter font, size, weight e.t.c. attributes for each text, then you need to use multiple textzones and use visibility:
<textzone visibility="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? on : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? on : off" >
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text font="Arial" size="23" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" action="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? get_text '%Pleft' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? get_text '%Pbpmex'"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 2" >
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text font="Arial" size="34" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" format="%pitchrange%%"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 3" >
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text font="Arial" size="44" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" action="get_beat_counter"/>
</textzone>
<button action="cycle '@$DisplayVal' 4">
<pos x="+65" y="-30"/>
<size width="100" height="100"/>
<text action="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? get_text 'TIME' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? get_text 'BPM' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 2 ? get_text 'RANGE' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 3 ? get_text 'BEAT'"/>
</button>

<textzone>
<pos x="+65" y="+70"/>

<text font="Arial" size="23" color="#C0C0C0" align="center" weight="bold" action="var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 0 ? get_text '%Pleft' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 1 ? get_text '%Pbpmex' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 2 ? get_text '%pitchrange%%' : var_equal '@$DisplayVal' 3 ? get_beat_counter'"/>

Hi Dan thank you for your help . I tried your code and it sort of works but it only opens the config window it doesn’t jump straight to broadcast window like it does with the rec as I’ve created the button for that also .

It works for me. Jumps straight to the broadcast page in the settings menu,

Don't copy/paste the above code.
Type it... :P
VirtualDj understands only simple quotes ' and double quotes "
iOS devices and MAC's in general convert single quotes to forward/back quotes.
So when Dan posted his answer his phone or MAC converted the single quotes to forward/backquotes and if you just copied the code then it won't work! :)

Hi guys hope you both are well . Is there any way that these areas can be made smaller by adding coat to the browser as these are Way too big .

No, their height is calculated automatically by VirtualDJ.
However you can hide them all together (and draw your own elements) or alter the height a little bit by changing fontsize
Example(s):
<filelist source="automix" toolbar="no"> ... </filelist>
<browser toolbar="no" sideview="yes" folders="yes" infos="yes" effects="yes" searchbar="no" showzoom="no" lineheight="1.0"> ... </browser>

There is another complete layout which have bigger panels again for video . I’m not a video DJ however I mainly focused on audio that my reasons for Mixlab doing so well over the years it’s due to the big video screens .
So there is a layout for people that enjoy videos that have external controls.

I prefer to have controls on the screen for when I work remotely from the ipad, however for those who permanently use a controller that would be perfect.
Main thing for me is having big enough video windows without making the browser area too small.

There will be a Knouff video sources throughout the skin to cover everyone’s needs I don’t only just build skins to my own taste I try to taking feedback and do my research to make sure I implement as much as people need . And with the new skin Injun there so many things you can do now that you could not do before . Mixlab 2019 Offers so many panel combinations is an understatement again another thing that was popular with the last skin . I also plan to add complete layout for tablet video use an audio . But as it stands at the moment there is already a panel that will suit your needs .

In addition to what George has said, you can also write a completely custom browser - so for example putting the icons (normally on the left) across the top, or adding your own splits rather than just the default folders/sideview/info ones. You can do vertical or horizontal splits too.

Tried some of that code and couldn’t get any of it to work not with the areas I am trying to do it with . Tried in the browser it’s quite a good bit of code as you can turn things on and off . But I am working with only part of the script from the browser which I found in the sticky on here The only deals with the side views . This is what the code looks like currently.
<sideview>
<pos x="+0" y="+145"/>
<size width="531" height="150"/>
<font size="18" name="Arial"/>
<fontheader size="18"/>
<colors background="transparent" stripes="#000080" text="#FFFFFF" label="#A0A0A0" artist="#D5D5D5" title="#FFFFFF"/>
</sideview>
