Default colors for items

English Feature Requests

So, when you add a VT make it a certain color on the playlist. Same for music and or jingles. This is for a better overview of the playlist.
I know theser colors can be added later (manually), but it is more work :frowning:

You can change the default row colors through skin.ini. I think it is covered in Cad’s manual.

Thanks!

You can, but these are for BREAK and COMMAND items, for example; or to have a default colour for (say) an item which is PAUSED or PLAYING: I don’t know of a way to assign a default row colour by the Type of an Item (Music, Jingle, etc.).

At least, that is what I think dennus wants to do.

If I’m wrong about either of those points, please reply to this!

Yes! That is exactly what I meant. When a music track is loaded into the playlist it should have a coloured background for instance GREEN.
Then when adding a jingle, this should be YELLOW and when I add a voicetrack this should be ORANGE.

Cad’s information is outdated. RowColor-settings based on the item type have been possible since a long time ago.

Possible RowColor settings include:

Unknown
Music
Voice
News
Weather
Advertising
Package
Jingle
Sound
Effect
Trailer
Promo
Sponsorship
Sweeper
Drop
StationID
Bed
Instrumental
Show
Stream
Container
Command
Break
Dummy
Other
Custom1
Custom2
Custom3
Custom4

So use e.g. “VoiceRowColor=#FFFFFF” to make all voice tracks red.

Great! Which .INI do I modify for this?

8

skin.ini. You must create it first.

Thanks for your reply! Did I say how much I like mAIRLIST??? I LIKE :slight_smile:

In the config directory I created a new skin.ini using my notepad.
In the skin.ini there is just one setting

VoiceRowColor=#FF00FF

But nothing seems to happen because the Voicetrack row is still white ?

In your skin.ini, you also need a [Playlist] section heading:

[Playlist]
VoiceRowColor=#FF00FF

Without the [Playlist] line preceding it, your VoiceRowColor line will be ignored (as you have noticed!) because mAirList does not know which object to apply your setting to (Playlist, Players, Cartwall, …).

Torben: thanks for the reminder about typeRowColor. :slight_smile:
