Player Buttons

English General

Is there a way of making the player buttons appear when mairlist is first loaded up i.e.when no tracks are loaded in the players?
I’ve made a skin that’s based on DPS and would like everything to appear as soon as its loaded.

Thanks

As far as I know, that isn’t possible in mAirList. mAirList displays Player buttons only when a Player is loaded, and only in ASSIST mode.

If you think about it, that is more logical than showing buttons (disabled or not) on an empty Player!

Agreed Cad, in particular because the current buttons (which are no real buttons but implemented by myself) do not support being grayed out.

In the near future, there will be a redesign of the players, and it will use standard buttons then. Those will be most likely be drawn grayed rather then hiding them.

I think that when that happens, you should give an option to either draw greyed OR hide the buttons.

I’ve seen people using other apps. keep trying to click greyed-out controls while they look puzzled about why the controls ‘suddenly’ are not working (!).

Hi,
i agree with CAD.
Greyed buttons are nice, but i like more to have no buttons. Also if you do only a short look and see nothing, it is a quicker indication that player is not loaded.
It’s the same like with the old style analog clock. You can identify faster the app. time than read on digital clock. (There was somewhere a study about)
