is there any way of removing the left to right waveform display ,thus giving more space for library files,
never liked the display in the first place so distracting ,I know vdj gives you 5 choices of waveform , but why not a sixth NO WAVE FORM DISPLAY ?
anyway id don't so any ideas as how to get rid of?

jus a skin thing, very easy to remove the waveform if you edit the xml
And are some skin already made without wave.
Depending on what exactly you want, if its just a huge library and little else, you can even click the browser zoom button bottom left corner

Is there a way to unpin the browser window to allow it to Float, and be moved to an another monitor, as one can do with Fx GUIs panels?
Would love to have more screen space for both the 4 decks and the browser by having them on separate monitors.

No, this kind of feature need to be specifically implemented in the skin

Thank you Nicotux
I was excited to create a floating browser!
It seems that the Wiki page is not current, and may not apply to VDJ 2021.
almost every step does not apply.
1) there is no VirtualDJ 8.zip
2) in the Default folder there is No 4 Decks.xml and 4 Decks.png
etc
So, I created a copy of the Default folder, added the Floating Browser code at the bottom of the Pro.xml file.. (deleted the other xml and png files for Essentials, Starter and Performance), zipped the remaining files together and added that zipped file (renamed to > 'Floating Browser') to the Skins folder.
That newly created skin, has a BLACK unmovable square on it, as you can see from the screenshot below:
The Black square cannot be seen well above, with the Black background. Here is a screen shot with Daylight mode:
Let me know if you see something I am need to change, and have any suggestions.
I don't know a lot about modifying VDJ skins, yet.

Did you cut and paste that browser example code completely unaltered?
It states image="4 decks.png" so I imagine that's the issue (if you don't have that png in the zip file).
Just delete the image reference and it should work. You might want to add a custom button with show_window "BrowserWindow" so you can make it onoffable. :-)

there is no need of any background image, you can remove its reference
just tested simply with pro:
.....
<window name="BrowserWindow" width="1024" height="768" shown="true" color="blue">
<browser x="5" y="5" width="1014" height="758" />
</window>
</skin>
everything is working ok....
"Color" is not "supposed" to work this way but this is working this way
"background" is supposed working but do not work
there are sometimes issues with skins and filenames names:
skin.xml or <zipname>.xml are prefered over other ones
and... you can test in non zipped folder, just use (edit) version of the skin

Update:
After Nicotux pointed me to the Wiki:
http://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/index.html?addonid=80491
and with Groovindj's help, was able to find the Browser Tweaks utility.
I was able to successfully create a working Floating Browser skin. So Cool !
(sometime will explore what code was added the default skin to create it)
And Groovindj, I did had to create a custom button to show/hide the Floating Browser on this working Skin.
-------------------------------------------
And now, a Tweak is needed to get this as I would like, and I need some help.
Is there away to hide/remove browser in the Decks window when the Floating Browser is opened?
So one screen is all Deck layout, and other is all Browser/Sidepanel?
Again thanks guys for the help!

There is at least one skin which already has a layout like that (four decks filling one screen, browser floating). That's V8 but by FRUiT.
It's getting a little old now (FRUiT's not been here for some time) but it's still a very powerful skin.

Thanks Groovindj
I will try the V8 skin !
----------------------
Is that something I could put on wish list?
To have a default dual screen skin built into VDJ (a display option for dual screen mode, added to the LAYOUT drop menu)?
Or an added PIN icon/button for the Browser, as there is on an Fx GUI that detaches it, and resizes the remaining sections to fill the screen.
