Skins / Re: Kryptonite Dark

You only get better by practicing and learning, so keep going!
Maybe it will help if I roughly describe my workflow here.

First, I started with the Sample skin from hiccup as a basis and defined variables for the recurring colors. I used "Visual Studio Code" (free of charge) for the coding.

Then I used the "jcpicker" (also free of charge) to read the RGB code of the elements from the sample skin and searched for it in the Smaple Skin code. Sometimes you have to work a bit with the snipping tool to get the colors of elements that change color when hovering over them. This way I was able to assign the previously defined variables as colors to all elements piece by piece.

For the setting entries I searched for them here in the forum or google to find out what they do.

Finally, I use the comparison function in "Visual Studio Code" for debugging and comparison with the current sample skin version.

I'm glad you like the skin and I've seen that you've already solved your problem.

Thanks for sharing your work!
(and welcome to the forum)

Known Bugs/Issues:
- "IconColourOverride.Default" is overriding the colour of the chekmarks in the menus.
- If the Track Information is selected in the now playing bar at the bottom panel, I have no idea how to change the font colour.
- I don't know how I could test the three "Controls.ProgressBar" elements or where I find them in Musikbee.

1. If you want to override the checkmark, you need to use a 16x16px image file, encode it to base64, and copy it in your skin.xml under 'images' as  <element id="CheckTick">
   (a forum search should lead you to how that can be done)
    You will probably also want to define others such as "CheckTickDisabled", and "LargeTick". (for the Panel Configuration panel)

2. Over the years, the functionality of that panel has changed a little bit, and I am not completely sure how it is controlled at the moment, but far as I know the text colour is auto-generated depending on the background colour.

3. These are obsolete (as far as I know)
   If you check the paragraph at line #10 of my sample skin you can read my current understanding/handling of those.

Thank you for your help hiccup.
I added/deleted everything as mentioned.

Bug Reports / Hit-Box of checkbox in "Analyse Volume" window is shifted to the left at 4K

« on: July 12, 2021, 12:38:25 PM »

Hi everyone, I'm new with Musicbee and I love it, but I came across a litel Bug.

The bug appears in the "Analyse Volume" window at 4K resolution, with a scaling in Windows at 200%.
 It seems to me that the first column width isn't scaling correctly.



The consequence of this is, that the hit box for the ticks are shifted to the left, red square in the picture below. It also results in a graphical glitch, as you can see also in the picture.



Also, it could be very helpful, if you could click on the whole row to activate or deactivate the entry, like in the Remove Tags dropdown menü.
