Just a quick question!
Is it possible to change the icons of the play/stop/pause etc. buttons in the skin.ini for example using these? http://www.iconarchive.com/category/media/vista-multimedia-icons-by-icons-land.html
Thanks!
This is in the Wiki:
http://wiki.mairlist.com/index.php/Custom_Skins_and_Layouts#Custom_Player_Button_Graphics
Wiki, like Google, can be your best chum 
D’oh! Thanks Charlie…
I wish there was an easier way to do that. Do they have to be bitmaps by the way?Also do you think there is a chance of a module so you think Torben or a simple skin.ini tag in future releases?
Thanks.
'fraid I haven’t done anything with the Player buttons… According to the Wiki log, Cad wrote that so he’d be in a better position to explain the pros/cons of customizing the buttons. I’ve only ever tinkered with the PlaylistItem icons.
Ah right no worries.
I presume that any bmp image works a slong as in each size and specified correctly?
Thanks.
OK folks, I’ve just gutted and re-written that Wiki page Torben referred to. Hopefully Ryan will find the ‘new way’ much easier!
The custom Player button section is now correct, and I’ve added a section explaining how to change the icons used in the Playlist. I may not have all of those icon_.png names correct, because I don’t use streams nor any ‘regional’ stuff, hence some were pure guesswork on my part. Please feel free to correct anything I’ve got wrong!

The file must be in PNG format, and it should be transparent. mAirList will draw the background.
… and the background colour for player buttons and Playlist toolbar buttons is either the default, or the colour you specify in skin.ini, in the sections specified:
[code][Player / Cartwall]
CloseButtonColor=#006000
CloseButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
FadeoutButtonColor=#700000
FadeoutButtonActiveColor=#FF0000
HookButtonColor=#006000
HookButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
LoopButtonColor=#006000
LoopButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
PauseButtonColor=#808000
PauseButtonActiveColor=#FFFF00
PFLButtonColor=#008080
PFLButtonActiveColor=#00FFFF
StartButtonColor=#006000
StartButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
StopButtonColor=#700000
StopButtonActiveColor=#FF0000
[Playlist]
NextButtonColor=#006000
NextButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
StartButtonColor=#006000
StartButtonActiveColor=#00FF00
StopButtonColor=#700000
StopButtonActiveColor=#FF0000
[/code]
where:
[Player / Cartwall] can be any of [Player], [Cartwall], [ExtraPFL], [Player0_0], etc.; and
[Playlist] can be any of [Playlist], [Playlist0], [Playlist1], etc.
‘ButtonColor’ is the usual background colour, and ‘ActiveColor’ is the background colour when the button is ‘active.’ For example, the START button is active while a track is playing, the PAUSE button is active while a track is paused, etc.
As always, you only need to specify the entries you want to change. And obviously, the above is just an example: you can use any button background colours you like. 
Finally, note that mAirList uses the same STOP and START button graphics in Players and Playlist toolbars, so if you change (for instance) the STOP graphic, it will change in both places.

I wonder, do the Assist/Auto buttons have a setting (i tried AssistButtonColor but to no avail) ? I’d quite like to configure Green as “Auto” and Red as “Assist” (to signify a warning that it’s one track at a time) - which is the opposite of the colour scheme at present.
No, they can’t be changed at the moment. I’ll consider this a feature request
Ryan: If it helps, I attach some icons and button designs. BACKUP your mairlist\images folder first, then Unzip this file into that folder. It hope it will help you work out what to do and how to do it.
