how to modify "NewKMPSkin(beta)" please?

[santaklaus]

hi there, I've modified "NewKMPSkin(beta)" a bit, it looks like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

I've removed the volume control because I only use DirectKS in Reclock, so it's bypassed anyway.

I would like to do two things :
-remove the top panel(this I can do) and have the filename shown in the bottom panel
-have the transport bar to use all the room the volume control was using.

so it'd look like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

any idea please? thanks!

[santaklaus]

anyone please :)

-have the transport bar to use all the room the volume control was using.
In Skin.ini:

In "Track" section, change the width parameter to the same number as "left" but in negative (e.g. -6).

have the filename shown in the bottom panel
Remove the "TitleLabel" or cut it, then place a similar section after the "BottomPanel" one, like this:
[TitleLabel1]
type=Label
Transparent=1000
parent=BottomPanel ; To place it in the bottom panel
alignment=center
left=390
top=6
width=350
height=15 ; You can set the position you need
Command=LabelTitle
LimitParentWidth=900 ; To make it disappear when you make the window smaller

Please remove the comments in green before adding that text to the skin.ini file.

To change other parameters, look at the original "TitleLabel".

ok, thanks Pantuflo! you really are the king of KMP :D

I've done all that, so the seeking bar does take the whole width....but there's a black dot where the volume control used to be ?!

and I still don't get the filename in the bottom panel.

I also removed a lot of buttons in the bottom panel(I only kept "A > B"), but I only removed the icons, I didn't take off the buttons per se...would you know how to do that?

I've put my skin files here : [Only registered and activated users can see links]

hope you can help, muchas gracias!

There are two track sections, "Track" and "Track2". You have to change the "Track2" left parameter too.
I still don't get the filename in the bottom panel.
Remove the comments (I have colored the comments in green in my previous post).
I only removed the icons, I didn't take off the buttons per se...would you know how to do that?
Look for the images you removed and delete the sections which has those images in the parameters. For example:
[SlowerSpeed]
type=Button
parent=BottomPanel
Transparent=1
image=Normeed.bmp

OMG, almost the KMP of my dreams :)

so the transport bar is OK now, I do get the filename in the bottom :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

but once I go FS, the filename disappears :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

I've tried to change LimitParentWidth=900 or remove it, but it doesn't help....is there a different section for FS?

and could it be in the same color as stock, where the filename is written in gray and not white :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

and do you know how to move "A > B" as close as possible to the codec indicators please?

I think I'll finally have the KMP of my dreams :)

I've put my updated skin here: [Only registered and activated users can see links]

thanks again for your help, and sorry for the noobish questions..

[Pantuflo]

Do not remove "LimitParentWidth" as it has nothing to do with fullscreen. Instead of that, delete the "FullsizeBottom" section.

About the font color, look at the initial Titlelabel as it has the font parameters you need.

FontColor=$bbbbbb
FontName=Tahoma
FontSize=9

You should delete CtrlBox, SlowerSpeed, NormalSpeed and FasterSpeed sections (as I said before, you should delete the buttons which images you deleted before).

About the "A-B" buttons, change the left parameter from SetStartPoint, RepeativePlay and SetEndPoint. Look at the original values as the space between them is 11 px.

[santaklaus]

awesome, thanks for your patience :)

I've done everything you told me, it's perfect now!

I've put the updated skin here : [Only registered and activated users can see links]

and it looks like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

how can I make the scrolling filename use the whole available width please?

and there's a black border on top of the bottom panel :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

how can I make it disappear?

I tried to change the "height" but that doesn't help :

[BottomPanel]
type=panel
align=Bottom
top=0
left=0
height=50

then I'm cool, no more questions I promise! thx!

[Pantuflo]

how can I make the scrolling filename use the whole available width please?
Play with the left and width parameters, for example:
left=365
width=-190
how can I make it disappear?
Cut 3 px at the top of BottomPanel.bmp, then set height to 57 px. After that, substract 3 px from the "top" parameter at the Prev, Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Load and PlayList buttons.

[santaklaus]

ok, it's perfect now! you're a star, 10000x! :)

now all I need is mVR support, and I'll update to W7 :p

EDIT: I will also cut the bottom border, but that should be easy...no need to change the buttons "top" apparently :)

[santaklaus]

ah!!! I'm sorry, I got a last question please :)

do you know how I could get rid of the top and left/right borders completely?

I've set their height to 1, and painted the picture files in black....but I would like to have no borders at all :

my skin files are here : [Only registered and activated users can see links]

thanks!!

[Pantuflo]

Just locate the panels in skin.ini and remove them.

[santaklaus]

hah, OK...but then it looks like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

the top infos have come back. but well it doesn't show when the movie's running so that's cool.

ideally I'd like to add 2 zoom buttons that would do the job of "+" and "-" close to "A > B", but that'd be complicated I think :D

Thanks!

[Peuj]

You have to remove the [TopPanel] section and all the sections containing parent=TopPanel
Like [Min], [Restore],...

[santaklaus]

ah! it's looking great like this :

another question...if you'd allow me :)

I've set KMP to open the movies w/ 960 pixels width, like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

it does work! but it's not centered in the middle of the screen...I've tried many options, it's always on the right side like this :

[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])[Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

any idea? thanks!

[Peuj]

simply use "Place a video on center of the screen" ?

[santaklaus]

ahh!! good point, I was a victim of broken translation...it should read "the video in the center", not "a video on center".

thanks man :)

[Peuj]

pas de problème ;)

[santaklaus]

BTW, you guys got any clue how I could add 2 "zoom in/zoom out" buttons? on the right end of "A > B"

or maybe a single button to switch between the pan & scan presets, need to think about it.

but that'd be a lot of work I guess :o

[bastik]

This skin has so many buttons, almost every available command has it's button. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

BTW: I have nothing to do with skins.
