I want to keep it as much as the Original 8 skin with small changes...
 
The png nothing/ maybe the glass glare, the xml look at
Start by trying to get rid of the cover art (just delete it)
Without a skin wiki I don't know the name of the bit with the time in.

Once you've cleared the space you just shift the rhythm window left and widen it, I think the zoom is attached to the window
 
the png is ready, but there is too many things on the xml I dont know what to change...
 
post above edited, make copies of the xml and try FSU.

Cover art is line 1409 I think
 
So you will need to locate and move/remove :

- covers
- zoom controls (left and right)
- times (for that you may search for "display_time" in the xml, or "get_time")
- select buttons

And modify the rhythmzones and scratchwaves.

Don't forget to modify both sides at a time (must do the searches twice) !

(and for locodog, no, zoom buttons are plenty appart buttons he will need to move too)
 
in the Soft Gold skin he made it very good, i just need to find what Exactly to edit in the xml... I really dont need the cover and the time.
 
Search terms :

"rhythmzone"
"scratchwave" or "horizontal_scratch_active"
"zoom"
"display_time"
"get_time"
"select"
"cover"

With those keywords you will find where the controls are located.
 
Thanks ! I will try it now...
 
Feel free to paste here some code / questions.

I agree, the wider waveform window was like V7 and very nice to see.
I would like to boost (make them bigger) the Key numbers in the small column on the players is that easy to do just in the xml file ?

Awesome !
That worked really great..
 
You may play with the <size/> and <pos/> of the <textzone/> the <text/> belongs to.

(May be usefull for some readers :) )
