How to incorporate this on a certain skin? Or maybe this is not yet possible with the current version of v8.

Can you please give a more detailed explanation?

Are you referring to the key of the song, or a key on your computer keyboard, a key (button) on the skin....?

I hope the above image clears up what I meant. Yes Groovin it's the tracks key to have its discrete colour for additional visual presentation.

Are you aware that you can set a colour for tracks in the VDJ 8 browser?

....or maybe you are asking for VDJ 8 to automatically colour the track when it scans and detects the key? That's not possible at the moment.

you could use filter like
key is "01A" and exists = 1

then select all the tracks and set a colour for those tracks

There is also a command browsed_file_color that can be assigned to a custom button.

You can use this with HTML color hex codes, for example browsed_file_color "#ff00aa" so it would be possible to:
1 find the hex codes for the colors in your chart
2 use browsed_file_color to set the colors for the keys

So you could have 24 custom buttons, named for each Camelot key, with a script that sets the required color.

This is exactly what I meant.
Thanks for the other mentioned hints and I'm pretty sure I know and aware of those things already.

Well, it's only 24 cases.
You can create 24 textzones for instance, set their visibility according to loaded track's key and use the textzones color propertie to paint the text.

<textzone visibility="param_equal '`get_text '%Pcamelot'`' '01A' ">
<pos x="" y=""/>
<size width="" height=""/>
<text color="#bebebe" format="%Pcamelot"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="param_equal '`get_text '%Pcamelot'`' '02A' ">
<pos x="" y=""/>
<size width="" height=""/>
<text color="#beeeee" format="%Pcamelot"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="param_equal '`get_text '%Pcamelot'`' '03A' ">
<pos x="" y=""/>
<size width="" height=""/>
<text color="#befefe" format="%Pcamelot"/>
</textzone>

etc

That's a good idea, I like that!

I was thinking along the lines of having the image he posted (the keys & colors) pop up in a window.
