    Thanks RobDog!!

    I cant believe that there aren't more people that would appreciate such a simple program tweak.

    My fingers are crossed.

    Keep me posted!

            i've re-read this thread a few times now and i'm still lost as i can't work out what skin people are trying to use though i'll also mention that i don't remember the modern skins shipped natively displaying h:mm:ss in any part of the display even with the earlier 5.0x versions as there's never been the space to display that many parts of the time. some clarification would be appreciated though i wouldn't expect any native change made for this.

              the feature was in the original modern skin in the version 5.09 (the last version i have that i know it works on in app archive)
              it may rely on a dll that is no longer included with winamp

                    nope as i've not had the time to install an older Winamp version. it'd be simpler if i had a screenshot of what is being asked for from what was removed as i still don't know which of the various time displays is being referenced. then i can give a simple yes/no about this being looked into further.

                        timer off style will work in the skins xml file i mentioned
                        it is the on style that has been disabled
                        if there is a easier way to choose the setting it would be appreciated
                        since most users would get lost in the xml coding

                          is always good to know where i'm meant to be looking:
                          PHP Code:
                          // for Winamp Modern
                            
                          <!-- Timer -->
                            <
                          text
                              id
                          ="timer"
                              
                          display="time"
                              
                          x="28" y="16"
                              
                          w="70" h="20"
                              
                          font="player.BIGNUM"
                              
                          align="left"
                              
                          timecolonwidth="5"
                              
                          timeroffstyle="1"
                              
                          timerhours="1"
                              
                          fontsize="24"
                              
                          color="font.display"
                            
                          />

                          // For Bento
                              
                          <text id="SongTime"
                                  
                          x="10" y="6" h="27" w="99"
                                  
                          font="player.bitmapfont.nums" timecolonwidth="6"
                                  
                          timeroffstyle="1" timerhours="1"
                                  
                          display="time" align="left" alpha="220"
                              
                          /> 
                          well it was never removed, it's just that skin documentation has never been too good i thing. anyhoo, adding timerhours="1" will display it in the h:mm:s format (is probably something a skinner would have known but i've had to rummage in the source code to find that out). however there isn't an option in the skinparser to have it hide the hour part when not needed (there is code to do it but there's no connection between it and the out-side world).

                          the main issue is that with the Winamp Modern and Bento cases, it requires the placement of parts of the player area to be altered (bento is a bit better as it moves some parts but it still gets clipped) inorder for the display to work correctly.

                          i'll try to add in a timerhoursRollover="1" to the text object for the next client release to allow the hour part to only appear when it needs to be though no promises
                          [edit]looks like i've worked out how to get that implemented so should be in the next client release.

                            what you gave me works perfectly for big bento
                            <text id="SongTime"
                            x="8" y="11" h="31" w="102"
                            font="player.bitmapfont.nums" timecolonwidth="6"
                            timeroffstyle="3" timerhours="1"
                            display="time" align="left" alpha="220"
                            nothing moves over or is clipped
                            it only does it with standard bento
                            if modified to

                            <text id="SongTime"
                            x="2" y="4" h="27" w="99"
                            font="player.bitmapfont.nums" timecolonwidth="6"
                            timeroffstyle="3" timerhours="2"
                            display="time" align="left" alpha="220"
                            it will fit better


                            replace timer onstyle from the first post i made with the timerhours and it will work pizza

                              I use Winamp Modern 5.572 (x86)

                              i'm sort of lost with accessing where to input all these changes...

                              C: program files > winmap > skins > winamp modern > xlm .... then what?

                              sorry for my lack of expertise...

                                for Winamp modern the file to edit is %skindir%\Winamp Modern\xml\player-normal-group.xml and then you need to find <!-- Timer --> in the file and that is where the timer display object starts and add timerhours="1" to get it showing in the h:mm:ss format. however other parts of the skin will need to be altered as the lowest second and - (when using time remaining) are currently lost due to there not being enough space in the main window (as it was all based around mm:ss) as per the screenshot below. it can be adjusted to fit by moving a few bits to the left/right as required...



                                so there's 3 options available:
                                1) you work on editing the skin to have it sized correctly
                                2) i work on modding the skin to have it sized correctly
                                3) someone else works on modding the skin to be sized correctly

                                of those three, #1 or #3 are best for me though i can tinker with things but it'll be on a low priority.

                                also whilst i remember, whatever changes are made would need to be backed up as the Winamp installer re-creates all of the files in Winamp Modern / Bento when installed and modifications can be lost.
