Hi everyone,

I'm new here but have been hard at work try to catch up on everything...

I down loaded a few skins and found two which will do for now.

Question One (1):

How do I remove from the list of skin those skins which I don't want or need...???

Question Two (2):

Is there a way to change the skin color...???
I like the basic skin which comes with VDJ but
I need a lighter colored or white VDJ for event I do in daylight.

Thanks

1, Go to your documents/vdj folder > skins and delete what you don't want.

2. There are a few already made for outdoor use, or you could put the bitmap of the image into paint and invert image that will normally give you a half decent daylight skin.

Thanks Tayla,

I will do that once I get home tonight.
I just want to keep it simple and
clean by removing those skin which I know will not work for me.

As far as using paint, I don't own or know how to use it.
I have done small fixes on my old software and
was thinking of using the skin tool but
I wanted first to see if anyone had asked or done it already.

I did find a skin which noted "easy on the eye" but
still wanted to know if VDJ created a lighter version of there skin.
I don't want to change any of the functions just need a lighter color.

Is the a place I can request a skin...???
I'm not asking for a lot, just a lighter colored VDJ standard skin where black = white.

thanks again... :)

This is how v6 Pro would look inverted using a Paint programme...



If this is something of the type what your after let me know and I can walk you through it, better that way then just giving you the skin, this way you are learning the process as your going.

It's the latest version of paint that comes bog standard with win7, it's the updated version of paint that came with xp and vista in the past. not as sophisticated as photoshop but get's the little jobs done quickly.

Humm. i've done it on windows paint/Vista home premium (click Image,then invert colors) but dont like the looks of it.

You can't get any other results when you invert an image.

Very Cool...

That's what I need...

I'm just learning VDJ so I don't want to go to far from VDJ 6 Pro skin...

What do I load into paint to make this change...

Thanks Tayla...
:)

Try to load the xml to paint but with no luck... :(

I get

"Paint cannot read this file."

Cad it is the bmp file you need to load, just right click on the file and select "open with and select paint". I would also suggest that changing the font colour and size may be required if you have poor eyesight.

If you want I could make you a tutorial covering the whole lot if you like. Just let me know.

Anyways, glad I could help.

Yep, remember when you have changed a bmp file you will notice the way it's named in the config > skins will be slightly different as well.

Any and all help would be more than welcome...

Again, I'm new here and I'm trying to get to speed on the software...

*****
For all those reading this from VDJ

I have 0 issue of yet...

Loaded and installed and never needed to do anything else...

Great tool and software so far and I'm very happy and jazzed....

Wow... Tayla,

That was very easy....!!!!

I was able to easily load the bmp to paint and change to color as you stated...!!!

However, now I can see the text and some icons on the playlist... :(

:)

I'm at work right now but can't wait to try it out at lunch...

I like it...

I will have a look at maybe changing to text and a couple of other things I need...

Like making the Clock Bigger...

I really keep an eye on my time at events to on schedule...


Thanks again Tayla for you FAST answers...


Talk to soon in a bit...

:)
