Topic: Attn all Skinners

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Please will you unify and use the same icons that show what file type. I really hate the ones that have the tiny K, V & L's. they are hard to read and distinguish between each other. the proper way SHOULD be the Green Speaker for Audio, BLUE Mic for Karaoke and white FILMSTRIP for VIDEO. Thank you for your consideration

have you got any examples? I'm making a skin currently and could include them if they look good.

yep, but I meant the actual icons... I had the same though the other day but google didn't get me the inspiration I was after. The icons are meant to be 16 x 16 pixels but that shouldnt matter as resize in photoshop is pretty good, so probably after 64 x 64 pixels that way I can just make them 25% of the original and they should look pretty good.

well,
I would be glad, if this function would be better explainend & documentated. What icon is for what?
Most of them I know, but some of them = ?!?
Or is it possible to get an icon-block of the original, so we just change the browser-icons?

....mmmh, you posted the right link?!
BTW:
One of the most important for me is the fact, that he X/Y coordinates can be "calculated" in the xml

<button action="action">
<size width="ww" height="hh"/>
<pos x="1403" y="6"/>
<selected x="+0" y="+1500"/>
<down x="+0" y="+1500"/>
<over x="+0" y="+900"/>
</button>

..never read this in the wiki, but imO very important to know

;o)

That is the entire point about skining. So each user can create the skin to look, and feel, the way they choose. Not the manufacturer. To standardize the icons would be counter intuitive to the thought process....

thanks for making that bob, but do you think it's possible to give an explination about what each icon is, so we know what we are replacing.

I made this page http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Default%20Icons.html

About the missing ones... never seen them to be honest. If someone knows let me know. Some could be reserved for future use (D6,D7,D8) and some could be created in earlier versions. I will update the page as soon as i find out about them.

Thank you for this needed information.

Bob,

If memory serves me right (and it doesn't alway). D6,7,8 and old icons that were relate to when Napster was integrated!!?? Pretty sure they are not used now, as new icons on line E were created for Netsearch!!

if you dont like custom icons dont mention it in the browser skin

like

<browser>
<size width="1368" height="242"/>
<pos x="0" y="535"/>
<text font="Lucida Sans" size="14" color="#FFFFFF" selected="#352605" stripes="#181818"/>
<options font="Tahoma" size="12" color="#FFFFFF" over="#99DDFF"/>
<widgets font="Virtual DJ" size="10" color="#606060"
facecolor="transparent"
lightcolor="#808080"
shadowcolor="#606060"
darkshadowcolor="transparent"
highlightcolor="transparent"
trackcolor1="transparent"
trackcolor2="transparent"/>
<icons x="204" y="773"/>
<customicons x="4" y="773"/>
<custombuttons x="392" y="773"/>
<colormatrix rr="100" gr="100" br="100" rg="100" gg="100" bg="100" rb="100" gb="100" bb="100"/>
</browser>


just delete the icons/customicons/custombuttons line in that browser section


<browser>
<size width="1368" height="242"/>
<pos x="0" y="535"/>
<text font="Lucida Sans" size="14" color="#FFFFFF" selected="#352605" stripes="#181818"/>
<options font="Tahoma" size="12" color="#FFFFFF" over="#99DDFF"/>
<widgets font="Virtual DJ" size="10" color="#606060"
facecolor="transparent"
lightcolor="#808080"
shadowcolor="#606060"
darkshadowcolor="transparent"
highlightcolor="transparent"
trackcolor1="transparent"
trackcolor2="transparent"/>
</browser>

in this case if you dont mention it by default it loads default icons


peace

Dj Pradeep
