Topic: 2023 Essential skin not contrasted like 2 decs on Virtual dj 8
Hello
i recently uptate from Virtual dj 7 to 2023 7482
i loved the 2 decs on V7 sharpness
i know that 2023 include old 2 decs skin,
i would like to use the new Essential 2023 but i find it not as crystal clear than V7 (on track browser)
i know the XML file, and i tried to make modif, but don't find contrast
i modified the browser_scroolbar color to red to make it clear,
so what's the line and word for contrast ?
i just want to have the browser text "pop in my eyes" like V7
Thanks

Modification Skin Essentials Virtual DJ 2023 7482

i had Virtual DJ V7 and the screen was very Clean on it, Crystal clear (songs seems to pop-up on my eyes)
I moved to 2023 – 7482 and everything was green on it, (like many new programs…)
So I wanted to make my Essential skin a little like the V7
Here is my way to recover what I lost

First: Opening Virtual Dj and Parameters, Option
I search for BrowserPadding Small
BrowserTextFit Fixed
Sideview Atomix
AutomixDualDeck No or Yes (if you want Automix change of Deck each time)
BrowserFontSizeButton Yes

After this I went to Skins, Default, Essential, and click Edit this skin
(That create a directory Default in Skin Directory) (VirtualDJ/Skin/Default)
And it create the files of all the Default (Starter, Essentials, Performance, Pro) (.png and .xml)
I copy the Two Essentials files and renamed it into MySkin

I Download Notepad+
And I opened the Myskin.xml file and I did the following changes: (where it’s underscore) (and you have the lines…)
(All numbers of 6 digit is an Hexadecimal color number)

22 Deskcolorbright Left 157794 (is the color of left buttons on left desk)
23 Deskcolorbright Right b63039 (is the color of left buttons on right desk)

49 Browserlock 161718(green) Changed for 0f0f0f (Black) is the back of all the Browser
50 BrowserStripe 21224 (dark Blue) Changed for 48546b (lt Blue) dark line for all 2 lines
51 Browserover 343536 ?????
52 BrowseroverStripe 343536 ?????
53 BrowserOverFocus 4b4c4d is the selected line in browser
54 BroeserSeparateLine 7e7e7e Verticals Lines in browser sides
55 BrowserSeparatorTab 4d4e52 Small tab on the lines between Folder Browser, File, Sideview
56 BrowserScroolbar 323326 Changed for Fc0000 (red) (browser button at left of files)
57 BrowserScroolButton 96969b is the top and bottom arrow each side of Scrollbar

65 Browser_Automix 2e6b76 (blue) is the Color of automix that is played

78 BrowserTabButton 525254 Color of automix button at bottom of Sideview window

82 Browser_Iconbuttonup 3b3b3b Color of icons in Browser Side Toolbar at left of Browser

86 Browser_cionbuttonActive 2e6b76 Color of Automix Lauch Button at top left of Sideview window

119 Textoff3 9b9b9b All text that don’t move (not on buttons) and side browser toolbar icons
120 Textoff2 a6a6a6 Text on some buttons of the decks
121 Textoff c6c6c6 Text on the lower of the decks and Automix…
122 Textover d1d1d1 Text on passing over the decks buttons
123 Textover2 d1d1d1 ??????

125 Textbright e8e8e8 ?????
126 TextBrowser d4d4d4 Changed for fcfafa (White) Color of all the Browser Text (Better)

I had a little problem copying it to another pc, I had to copy 2 Myskin files and so: Database.xml + Setting.xml…..
Maybe That I made mistake on some things but I hope that it may help someone to see it Crystal clear…

Looks like this after: clearly easier to see and Work with
