Hi Torben

Maybe an idea for the skin.ini:

TimeFont(Elapsed)RampColor=

I’d like to have the time font colored red when ramp is counting down (not the overlay counter, but the one in the playing deck)

2

I will consider this when I continue to remodel the players (which I already started with, but put on hold for the moment in favor of other exciting features :wink:

Whislt on this subject, is there a way to change the colour of the large number ramp that pops up in the middle of the screen???

Due to my settings, sometimes it is hard to see the numbers for the ramp.

cheers

In skin.ini:

[Playlist0] OverlayFontColor=#00FF00

You can also change the other font parameters, and also the background color (OverlayBackgroundColor).

Brilliant.

When you say change the background colour.
Is this the background colour in the playlist?

Now, it’s the background color of the ramp overlay. It’s transparent by default, but you can choose to have a fixed background.

The background colors of the playlist can be changed through the various RowColor settings. I don’t have a complete list available, but most of the settings are documented here:

Thanks torben

Time to have a play me thinks.

:smiley:

Good luck :slight_smile: I suggest that you take a look at the various skin.ini files posted by other users in the forum or the Wiki. You will get the idea quickly then.

Torben

Is it possible to disable certain lines in the skin and layout.ini files for testing purposes?
By placing a character in front of a line, …?

Just to disable a setting for a while without really deleting it.

Thanks

mAirList will ignore any lines starting with an unknown keyword. So just put an “x” or something at the beginning of the line:

xBackgroundColor=#FF0000

The same works for complete sections:

[xPlaylist0]

The ‘official’ MS method of commenting out a line in an INI file is to add a ; character in column one. For example, you would change:SomeIniValue=<whatever>to:;SomeIniValue=<whatever>
Though it is not required, adding a space makes this more obvious later, when you want to ‘undo’ it:; SomeIniValue=<whatever>
The extra space is especially useful when the INI file is one with a large number of entries: it makes the ‘disabled’ entries much easier to see among a large number of ‘normal’ lines! :wink:

But Torben is correct: you can in practice simply change the name of the value to anything the application (in this case, mAirList) does not ‘recognise.’
