Vertical Volume Slider?

[mrsamitk]

I am trying to find out how to make a vertical volume slider for Winamp 3 beta 1? Please let me know. Thanx in advanced.

add this to your XML code :

Orientation="vertical"
i know it's upside down but that's a problem... are there gonna be some updates on this? francis?

Thanks for replying. But i still have some problem. I tried what you said. And i got an error saying "w > 0". What's wrong? Please let me know. The code i am using is below.

<slider
Orientation="vertical"
action="VOLUME"
x="26" y="25"
w="27" h="41"
thumb="simple.volume"

/>

it needs an ID... try this one...


<slider
id="Volume"
action="VOLUME"
x="26" y="25"
w="27" h="41"
thumb="simple.volume"
orientation="V"
/>

Tried exactly like you said LUC L. But it gives the same error, w > 0.

the id could be "billy-wants-a-scooter" and that wouldn't make a difference. Apparently it is some WA3 inner problem, so don't worry that it's you thats wrong.

Also had one question....I progressed in pretty good amounts on the skin i am working on. Actually, this skin is used on another player and i am porting it to Winamp3. My question was that how come tooltips are not displayed when i move my mouse over the button? Do i have to implement something like
<!-- Da song ticker -->
<text
id="songticker" ticker="1"
display="songname" default="" showlen="1"
x="108" y="23"
w="157" h="14"
font="player.SmallFixed" fontsize="13"
/>

????? Is there some text code that i am missing to show the tooltips? I am looking at other skins and learning stuff....

no. there is something said like : Tooltip="hello"
that's what u need :)

When i asked the question, assumed you people knew that i already did put stuff like Tooltip="eject". It doesn't show up anywhere so i was wondering if i have to set up a space for it.

I thought I read somewhere that they haven't been switched on yet (in Winamp3b1). Maybe Francis or Brennan can confirm this or reveal the correct way.

As I recall the 8-Ball skin had a vertical volume thing. Go look for
it and look at the code. That might help.

That one is a scripted one....
