Support and Bug Reports / Freeplay Mode
Last post by fb28 - September 01, 2025, 12:56:11 AMIs there a way to map a key to change from credit to freeplay (and back)?
Seems that if you want any simple form of remote control, you need to
map your desired action to a keyboard key, and use an i-pac or equivalent,
but it appears that your desired action must be on the key shortcut box.

Skin Support / Skintool Nav Slider
Last post by fb28 - August 24, 2025, 05:22:16 PMRE Nav Slider:
Is there a way to find out, or set the spacing of the letters
when you click on page-up/page-down, etc.? For example, if
you wanted a larger nav slider gadget, with larger letters,
and obviously a larger "bubble" or square box, etc. as a
"pointer", how or where would you find the values that
define these? The background for the slider is "etched"
on the page screen, so out comes Photoshop... But what
about the graduations of the letters and their spacing?
If you change the length of the slider gadget in skintool,
will that change the spacing between the letters (and how
can we then find out what it is or measure it) - or is
there some numeric definition in one of the ini files? Or
is that baked-in (hard-coded) and you need to keep the
existing slider dimensions?
Question 2... Is there a way to put a slider control option
on the skintool dropdown for the Genre screen, in addition
to jump-to-letter? Is there an ini somewhere that can
enable/disable that feature, or is it "baked-in"?
Question 3... I have seen some skins that have two nav
arrow buttons: one seems to scroll one-by-one, the other
advances full pages. Is this feature only available on
some pages/screens? What or where would it be enabled?
Question 4... Does the in file structure have a "reserved"
character (like ';' in C) to indicate the start of a
comment? It would be helpful to know which ini entries
do what, etc. By some experimentation, I have found
things like theme, font size/color (on some), x/y
position etc. If there only was a line-by-line list
at least so we could amend the existing ini's with
comments that define what that particular entry/value
does. Would go a long way to fully utilize the
incredible flexibility built in the program.
Thanks...

Skin Support / Re: Skin ini files
Last post by Barcrest - August 22, 2025, 11:58:25 AMYou can edit the ini files manually and I have done this to fine tweak some of the positions before. There are limited comments in some of them from my debugging but most are not. This is because of how they evolved over several versions of the program with extra requests being implemented.

Last post by Barcrest - August 22, 2025, 11:53:15 AMThe skintool should show you what is available, there are no additional filters apart from the 3 you mentioned however this should be enough to locate what you are looking for and there is also the search function. Can you detail a little more what you would like it to do.

Are you using crossfading for the songs? Do you have a gap time set for the songs? Are you using dual screens? There a few settings that could cause an issue with this, also if there is an issue with the MP3 file itself it can cause an issue.

Skin Support / Question about Genre and filte...
Last post by fb28 - August 19, 2025, 06:14:03 PMCan you add any additional conditional filter functions to the "filter"
screen/page (i.e. Genre selection screen)? Fox example, if you have
a "compilation" album (i.e. various artists vs one artist) can you set
up another filter button that only will show those "compilation" albums?
Right now, there are apparently only three: Genre, Artist, and Year.
BTW, I suppose that the buttons on each screen (using skintool) only
apply/function on the screen they are on. Is there a list for each
screen of what buttons/functions are available? Or is the skintool
image of that particular screen already showing all that's available?
