Thanks Locodoc, unfortunately I see just a black screen.
Maybe i don´t have the image="gfx-pro"?
How can I get this?
(My little touchscreen just has 1920x550 pix)

You would need to create your own custom skin for that.
Also you should keep in mind the following limitations:
While different devices can "load and use" different pad pages at the same time (for the same deck) the GUI is considered to be one device. This means that you can have only ONE pad page selected per deck.
You can't have two different pages selected for the same deck.
Also pad pages have currently a limit of 16 pads.
All the above mean that you can have only one page with 16 pads per deck.
There is a workaround though, but it requires more advanced work:
Since you are going to create your own skin, you can add extra "hidden" decks on it.
If you plan to use 4 decks, make the skin to support 8 decks. Now you also need to create "special" pad pages by yourself. Special because their actions must explicitly specify a deck.
Once you do so, you can make a second pad page holder on your skin for let's say deck 5.
But on deck 5 you load your special pad pages that all the actions work for deck 1.
So, now you have "two" different pad pages visible at the same time that work against the same deck.
As I said it's a workaround, but it's 100% doable (I have done it for some of my own special needs)

I could change the HAUNTING PRO from
<nbdecks value="4" condition="var_not_equal '@$4decks' 0"/>
to
<nbdecks value="8" condition="var_not_equal '@$4decks' 0"/>
and make Costum Pads with actions only for leftdeck/rightdeck
Because I use only 2 decks and swap 1 & 3 or 2 & 4.
Is this right?

But untill now I have nothing but a black window on my touch screen.
When there are the pads, how do I assign them to deck 5?
And would it be possible to show all the 16 Pads at once, without 1-8 and 9-16 shift?

As I said on General forum post, this requires quite some work from your part.
First of all, it appears that the code Locodog gave you is meant to be used on the default VirtualDJ skin. Also it's meant to be pasted inside the skin's XML file.
If you don't want this but want to use a different skin, you'll need to further modify the code above.
What you're after is NOT an easy task if you don't have previous experience with skins and VirtualDJ scripts.
We can help you out of course, but since our time is limited don't expect us to just come with a "paste ready" solution for your case.
PS: Yes it is possible to have all 16 pads visible at once.

The above is a copy/paste solution that should work on any skin as it's self contained (all necessary definitions are inside the <window /> element.)
In order to use, copy the above code, then open your favorite skin's xml file, and paste this right before the last line (which is just </skin>)
Save the file and reload the skin.
You can start with that and tweak further.
As I said, if you don't have experience with skin coding you may need to start from that.
PS: This is mostly copy/paste elements from one of my own skins. So the "looks" may not be the best for you or the overall theme of the skin you're using on your primary display.

I should not appear like the photo (at all)
It should cover the width of the entire screen, and if you just drag it on proper place it should cover all of it since the size I used for the example code is 1920x550
If you resize the window, the background will resize to any ratio, but the buttons will keep their programmed aspect ratio, following the new width of the window. So, you can't resize it to 1/3rd of the screen and expect the buttons to expand downwards.
If you want to create something like the photo above and have the buttons expand down (by height), you'll have to mess around with the dimensions of the skin elements on the example code I gave you.
The best approach is to decide what dimensions the window is gonna have, and then adjust the window and it's elements to 1:1 size (vs creating a window that you're going to resize to different dimensions)
PS: The graphics are 100% vector.

Thanks again PhantomDeejay! You are great!
Your window-template brought me to sucess!
Since I tweaked a little bit around, here You can see my additional 16 Buttons.
(On unused decks 5 and 6)
If I need more pads, I can add another bank in the window very easily on deck 7.
I am happy to have fast access to more options with color-feedback.
It's great that professionals are helping us amateur scripters like this.
All the best and thaaaaank Youuuuu!
