Topic: Played tracks...

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

When a track has been played it is indicated so by placing a red line through the icon to the left of the title. This isn't very clear at all. In VDJ7 the icon turned red once played. Is there a way of doing this in VDJ8 or at least something that will be more obvious that the track has been played.

Over to you, wise ones!

Cheers but where do I find the custom icons?
 
 
Well to put it bluntly I looked at the link and nearly shit myself!

I don't class myself as totally stupid when it comes to computers or even writing a bit of script but someone is going to have to give me a clue on how to do these changes. I am running the BlackSheepHD 2 Deck skin.

Can anyone help please?
 
Hey Phil, would you want something like this as an indicator...



or something like this...



or do you have an icon you want to use.
 
Here's how the other one looks for a comparison..
 
Been muckin about for you with a couple of other icons, the played red icon is a cactus, if you want me to talk you through it just give me a shout.

Basically you go to your zip folder and take out your "allaboutvideo" image and save it some where safe and then make a copy and put on desk top, go google the style type of icons you want to use and save to a folder I called mine vdj icons. Remember they need to be png files.

Open up an image editor and put one of your new icons into it, you may need to cut/paste and save, as it is best to trim off any excess transparent border. You want to have your new png file no larger than 128 x 128 for it to work, you might want to resize the image now if needed, remember to save as a png file.

Once that's done open up your allaboutvideo image and magnify to about 200 per cent or whatever magnification suits yourself, find the icon you want to replace and cut/delete it, replace with your new icon a bit resizing up or down may be necessary, use original icons either side as a guide to the height and width your new icon needs to be.

Once done save exactly as the image file name you took out the folder, put the new image file into the zip folder, open up vdj and your new icons should be now showing on your skin. If not don't worry, you have always got the original as a back up, practice a little until you have the icons the way you want them.

If you get stuck just give a shout here, one of the guys or myself will pick it up and try and help you best we can.

Hiya mate the top one would be ideal. As a matter of interest, what does the green star in the top right hand corner of the icon mean?

Any chance you can message me on Facebook or get me email address off Stu or Fitchy then I can get your contact details?
 
Hey Phil, just sent you a pm with my contact details.
 
The green star means newly added. It last for a couple of days after you add a track to the software.
