Topic: Support for additional screens
in the last years more and more additional small screens with half screen height are appearing.
One of the newest additions is this:

It would be a total gamechanger if Virtual DJ would add support for such screens with an additional skin, in a way like the screens of the expensive controller are supported.

Currently no other software supports this, so this will be a new exclusive feature.
Virtual DJ User could upgrade there controller to a premium one, for 200-300€/$.

I‘m aware that not all available screens could probably be supported, but if you pick few decent ones, this would be sufficient.

the skin engine can already do that, as far as vdj is concerned it's just another monitor so you can skin a window element.
Somebody asked me about skinning for something like it and then they vanished before replying to say exactly what they wanted, so I didn't bother start.
 

I'm using a custom skin and Babis (djdad) added an extra resizable video window option for me so I guess this can be added to any skin with some code.

So I can have the VDJ interface on my laptop screen, video out on my display monitor and a resizeable extra video window for an additional screen if needed.
 

Actually yeah, I've a os2l/midi cue skin window that could qualify as a sub screen skin if lamping tracks is your thing.
Stuff for radio guys, separate sampler windows, I've made a few.
I guess resolution might come into play because I designed for 1920*1080, I guess sub screens might look better with an ultra wide aspect ratio.
 

Are there some limitations with the existing solution?
I meant I read in the past, that there can not be two separate library lists? (when you add a second, they are synced and display the same)

But ok, I probably would not necessarily need this.
I would be more than happy to have a deck display with video on the left and the right and the output video in the middle
