Thanks. Having slept on it, I think sideview would be a more versatile choice.

Now it's just the effects....

EDIT fixed typo

The sideview has some issues.

Switching the view between the various modes (sidelist, sampler, automix, karaoke, triggerpad) using the buttons doesn't always work.

The central panel stays the same - unless you resize the skin (even by dragging a tiny amount in the corner).

If that happens, reload the current skin while the sideview is shown, it temporarily resolves the case and your sideview will show correctly (buttons working).

It is a known bug I believe.

How can I make sure that the browser panel is the one which shows when I start VDJ?

I now have my two views (browser and sideview) which can be selected by using the old VDJ 7 style tabs, but I want to always have the browser at startup.

adding visible="yes" or visible="no"
example:
<pannel id="browser1" group="browser" visible="yes">

If you want a state or stance to reset when launching VDJ you should use a variable instead of a panel (or the two mixed).

For example :

<panel id="browser" visibility="var '$sidelist' 0"></panel>

<panel id="sidelist" visibility="var '$sidelist' 1"></panel>

Then your buttons to switch browser/sidelist should toggle the variable instead of showing or not some panels.

<button action="set '$sidelist' 0"> for the browser button

<button action="set '$sidelist' 1"> for the sideview button

So when VDJ will close, the variable will reset to 0, and your browser would show everytime you relaunch VDJ.

This tells what 'view' should show by default when changing the skin, it does not act when closing / opening the software.

Yes the variable method works. Thanks FRUiT.

Yw :)

If you plan to set more tabs, the variable can be set to greater than 1 of course.

I'm thinking about an effects panel, but it's not as easy as stating <browser> or <sideview> :-(

That's why I said "good luck" earlier...

ROFL

There is a bug in effects panel at the moment. Hense why Expo is taking so long. Lol.
 

Posted Sat 12 Jul 14 @ 3:30 pm
Please clarify...

I'm talking about something that replaces the lower half of the GUI (on skins designed for 7) with something similar to this:



Three groups of effects controls - left deck, master and right deck.
 

Posted Sat 12 Jul 14 @ 3:50 pm
Ah ok. That should work.

You were talking custom side lists etc so though you were doing a custom browser. The effects section that normally slides out is buggy at the moment.
 

Posted Sat 12 Jul 14 @ 6:22 pm
What effects section that slides out? I didn't know there was one.

I think he (dan) means just the effect GUI's,
I'm very interested in this, I have many hopes for effect pages,

Custom browsers and split panels (what the Browser uses) are quite buggy at the moment. Team is aware of the bugs, and hopefully they will be addressed soon, but as you may understand, its not a high priority for now.
Me and Dan have tried during beta (and still) to provide all the features of a complete custom browser, but some bugs as already mentioned have kept me (at least ) from releasing such a skin.
the wiki will have some info. dont ask when :) .. almost ready.
