Tried a post in the dutch section but that one dried out pretty quick.
I started a demo of mAirlist 7 and i’m trying to get the lay-out working on a 4K screen.
First, great work on the skin editor! That helps a lot.
Now my problems, for the 4K screen i want icons and text to be a bit bigger.
I found some post about the skin.ini but i think i’m missing some options, most of it is about the playlist.
What are the options for the cartwall, the browers, mix-editor and how about the toolbars? A lot of these items have icons like arrows or a border (like the A and B in the playlist) and they don’t change in size when the font gets bigger.
And there is only 1 ramp time visible in the playlist, 1 filled all 3 ramp options (in PFL), i’m clueless how to make the rest of the ramps visible.
In mAirlist 7.1. they introduced to change the height of the cartwall-tabs too.
If you wouldn’t mind here’s a sample skin.ini from one of my test systems. It shows a lot of functions and should give you some advice how to start making your own.
mAirlist 7 shows the changes instantly after saving so it’s really easy to try for yourself.
thanks for the link, still struggling how to use them, for example NodeHeight does not work for a toolbar, neither do TabHeight or RowHeight, so what do i use there?
I see the problem here. If I remember this correctly that’s a behaviour of the windows explorer and you can’t change the height of the tabs of the browser windows.
@Torben will know more about it. Maybe he can fix it like he fixed it for the cartwall tabheight that’s now working like intended…
But his can be solved:
[Playlist]
`PlayerColumnWidth=80`
will expand the width of the Player State color window automatically. It’s bound to the general height of the row, the padding and the width of the player state and will fill out the desired cell automatically…
[Playlist]
PlayerFontSize=30
sets the font size then…
BTW:
NodeHeight works, but not like you expected it to work: It just changes the padding between the items / nodes in the browser, playlist and database views.
That will not change the arrow size. The border on the A and B will not be bigger.
We talked (in the dutch threat) about scaling up, is it an option to scale mAirlist (feature update) instead of the screen?
As you mentioned, it will be perfect for visabilty to about 200%?
For the “Link” arrow size just change this to your needs:
[Playlist0]
LinkIconSize=50
On to your next question:
This is no needed mAirlist feature update, Windows is capable of doing scaling for software individually. But I guess how to do it is something you need to google by yourself…
That depends on your screen size. I’m using a 32-inch-4K with a font size of 11 and no scaling in the database but that may be too small for your needs.
It seems that this has to do with the configuration settings: Playlists → Playlist 1 → GUI Options → Show only nearest ramp
Has this checkbox been set?
If yes, this is the reason why.
You will find the same in the GUI options of the players in the configuration.
If this is the solution this is nothing about skin settings.
However, some things may have changed in v7.x, so we have put them out of the configuration into the skin, but not all. I think, it’s a kind of a well-balanced interplay of configuration and skin editor.
