Topic: XML code for "Essential" Default skin
mcs1234PRO InfinityMember since 2010
Version 8.5 32b7183
Trying to make a change to the Essential layout for the Default skin. The deck view currently shows
"Title (Remix) - Artist" .... I'm Trying to do this...
"Title (Remix) - Artist / Album" ... where I can add the slash and get the album name.
Trying to do this on the essentials layout because I like the cover art on the jog wheel.
The XML lingo seems different. On my custom skin, I would use the "get song info" for the line and I don't see "get commands" used anywhere, just "this before that" and "that before this", etc.
Any clues... thanks.

Thanks DennYo for the reply. Your skin is the one I use, and modified to include Album, etc.
Where does the "Add this" stuff go?
Thanks again!

On my Skin? this is very complicate to write. There are more than 2 positions for the song infos.

Can you post a screenshot with your wishes?
The second i need the code of your default skin settings.
Open the "Save & Load Presets" Window, click on "export" and post the script here. THX

The Dennyo skin is the one I have used for years.
See Pic. I've tweaked it a little over the years.
I'm now trying to tweak the Default skin to include Album name..

This is an very old version of my skin... i think 2016?
And you have modified this hard.

The modify for the album to the default esential is my first post :) Test it.

Tested it. Album name is there, but it looks like I'm now also gonna need "scroll". Hahaha..
Can I just Scroll=Y at the end of the appropriate line?
