Compact player: progress bar size and volume control access

[GRhen001]

Hello,

I'm a recent MusicBee convert after over two decades of Winamp.

I would like to know how to increase the size of the progress bar and make the volume bar visible in the compact player mode.

I'm interested in reproducing the below interface exactly:



Can this be done simply or does it require a certain skin?

Thank you!

Nevermind. The increased size of the bars are made possible by some of the skins included in the base installation.

But is there any option to make the volume control accessible without having to open a small subordinate window?

Welcome to the forum GRhen001

A skinner can indeed use a 'true/false' setting to have some thinner icons and elements showing in some locations.

It is possible to make some specific changes to a skin that you like by creating a modifying 'piggyback' skin.
How that works is explained here: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=29815.0

For your request you would need something like this:

Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root dependsOn="OriginalSkin.xmlc">
<settings>
 <element id="SlimIcons">true</element>
</settings>
</root>
