VirtualDJ - Karaoke & Video Field Columns

PRO InfinityMember since 2008

You need a sort field for Videos and Karaoke Files because if I'm DJing I don't need all those karaoke or Video files to come up in my search window.

I have a large Karaoke And Video collection.

So having a sort fiels for Karaoke that you could click off would be an added plus to make it easier for a busy DJ not to stress over all them unnecessary files.

This also is needed for Video file for the same reason as above.

I also do Video shows Don't need those Karaoke or Audio Files either in my search.

So having this feature would be extremely deneficial to all you're users.

Another thing the color difference between the Video and Karaoke files should be greater like Deep Green for Karaoke and Deep Blue for Videos, right now there to closely sililar in color especially in lighted area's some times it's hard to distinguish the two.

Thanks

Well I discovered that this requested feature has already been implemented.

I would think it would be by the search box button icon, but discovered this feature is by the file counter button so still exploring this fine software.

The color scheme for Karaoke and Video still needs some addressing

Hi Tayla

Thanks

It is actually by the file counter field.

I also thought this feature would have been by the search field.

It's OK as long as we have it.

check out the xml code in the skin you are using and i shouldn't see why you can't change your colour codes, can do just about everything else with font etc... could be wrong on this though, give me the skin you use and i'll have a look for you.

The icons for karaoke and video files are in the skin picture file.

But some old skins don't have these icons.

You can not change the specific types to a specific color.

Hi cstoll

Thanks for your reply

Mp3's are a different color?

Video, Karaoke and Video Linked Mp3 are to close in color to easaly distinguish especially in lighted areas.

Can anything be done to change this?

Open the Skin Picture in Paint or any any other graphic software.

Go down untill you see a set of icons (they are positioned at pixel 0 : 3026).
Edit the Karaoke Icon to put it in Orange

Save the file
Zip it in the skin package
And there you go!

Thanks A-Lot

I'm not 100% sure once I find icons what code represents orange?

How do you zip the file skin package?

And there you go. I understand ***

Thanks for your help
