Hello,
I've just upgraded from VDJ 7 to the new 2018 and apparently my Reloop Beatmix controller isn't fully supported.
Specifically, the Browser Zoom button doesn't show up on screen and I can't zoom the playlist for fullscreen as I've used to before.
Is there a solution for this without using the default VDJ skin instead?

Are you trying to use a v7 skin on v8/2018?

Yes,
Apparently there is no v8 skin for my controller which is Virtual DJ native and was made specifically for Virtual DJ.

No, controller skins are rarely made anymore. They are seen as kind of a gimmic
So if you don't like the default skin I suggest choosing one of the more pro v8 skins. Most of them will have the zoom feature. Like "Controller HD by DennYo"

Thank you for the help!
I will try that also.
Regarding the Browser Zoom, I get the feeling that something very small is missing which I can reconfigure / change in the skin itself.
So if those who know how to build skins can help, I might be able to update the skin to allow browser zoom.
Is there any documentation on how to do that? (building skins and configuring them)

Yes:

But the main issue is probably that you need to change your skin from a v7 skin to a v8 skin to ensure full v8 support

You can also have a look at the default skin xml to see how browser zoom can be added

Browser zoom (to full screen) was a standard feature in VDJ 7. It was built into the EXE, so all skins did it.
In VDJ 8 it was removed, but due to customer demand it was (eventually) added back - but it works slightly differently. Some early VDJ 8 skins added their own browser zoom, but now it's back as a standard feature (as long as the skin supports it).

Thank you!
I looked at the documentation, but there is now reference to browser zoom.
Is it called differently?
I will also update the skin itself accordingly to support the zoom, but I need to see the relevant documentation to understand how to implement that.

This is how "The Thing" skin codes it...
<browser showzoom="true" visibility="not browser_zoom">
<size width="1900-2" height="404+35-31+138-35"/>
<pos x="11" y="665-35+31-138"/>
</browser>
<browser showzoom="true" visibility="browser_zoom">
<size width="1900-2" height="404+35-31+138-35+205"/>
<pos x="11" y="665-35+31-138-205"/>
</browser>
First thing to note is showzoom="true" is used to display the zoom button. Then there are two different sized browsers (normal & zoomed) which swap when the zoom button is pressed.

Amazing!
Thank you!
I will try it out and see how to configure this!
