Topic: Songpos Played Size

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is it possible to make the played size y-axis larger on "songpos" with out making the waveform larger? if so, what is the code?

You mean something like this ?


If yes, then there's no special code for it...
You just draw a larger waveform and then you paint your skins background over the part you wish to "erase"

Nice... I like that! but no, I was talking about:

I like how the right side "orange / Played" is tall, but do not like how tall the orange waveform is.
I like how the blue waveform is small. But do not like how the "Blue / Played" is not stretched tall enough to fit the background

How can I adjust the size of the waveform independent of the played color? Is there syntax that allows this? or must this be done by skin trickery?

the dips and valleys in the waveform show the volume of that part of the file i don't think u would want it different

Honestly, I can't understand what you want to do.
To me both orange and blue waveforms on your example look similar.

The only thing I can think of is that you may want to completely "hide" the part that has been played so that it's "flat" (in other words so that it's just a solid color).
Is that what you're looking for ?

Unless you mean the size of the waveform area itself.
Then that's just as simple as changing it's dimensions:

<size width="200" height="50" />

Changing just the width will make the waveforms "larger/smaller" while changing the height will make them "taller/shorter"

Hmmm. On second thoughts:
If you want to have a taller "allready played" shade (the semi-transparent graphics over the played part of the song) then that's not possible. The shade that goes on the top of the played part of the waveform has always the SAME height as the waveform itself and that can't be changed. It can't be made taller or shorter, nor I can think of any "hack" for it...

You could have a visual (like the ring round the platters) over the top #throwingItOutThere.

I don't really get the desire but different strokes for different folks.

Yep, you got it! sorry, sometimes it's hard to get it out of my mouth right....
Ok, will try another tactic

The desire comes from having a translucent-ish skin (That I'm working on). Or at least I'm trying to achieve. Looking at creating more depth. Spending a-lot of time with trial and error to come up with a specific feel. It may or may not have worked for what I was trying. But, thanks ;-)

came up with a quazi solution. Just used a shaded transparency. Think I'll add some white specular to make it look like an outer glass shield.

Looking good!
