hello everyone! i am noob here, i need to make a ui/skin for my win10 tablet for when i use it while driving.

Am I right to assume that you want the Playlist Editor inside the main window? A SUI (single user-interface) skin such as Victhor's Big Bento Modern, Deimos's 1010 Fullscreen or the Party! mode of Vortex?

no lol, ive tried contacting victhor for help but no reply. i've tried his stuff and its too heavy.
what i have in mind is something like mediaplayer classic but in spirit skin
i just need a plain player similar to androids built in music player. heavy ui/fancy skin is too distracting for when operation during driving

[soggynoodles]

(old android music player app) i want to make this not only for myself but everyone here, the most important part of being able to customize the skin myself is to get the correct non distracting/glaring colors and schemes for use when in vehicle during night or day

... i've tried his stuff and its too heavy...

This is the perfect start for any soon-to-be skinner.

@soggynoodles: What are the dimensions of your tablet?

@Ariszló: where do I find the play/pause script?

P.S. The skin is actually ready. Someone may fire up his Photoshop!

@Ariszló: where do I find the play/pause script?

The one that requires this line after the Play and Pause button tags:
<script id="play2pause" file="scripts/play2pause.maki"/>
is here.

And pjn123's, which requires this line:
<script file="scripts/sc_PlayPause.maki" param="Play;Pause"/>
is here.

@PeterK.: Did you make it scalable in the style of generic windows? If so, adding a maximize button would make it fit any screen resolution. I guess it would require Big Bento's simplemaximize.m.

[PeterK.]

Did you make it scalable in the style of generic windows?

Not yet, for now it is a ("static") FullHD skin.

If so, adding a maximize button would make it fit any screen resolution.

This is not necessary because I would add a script which would detect the screen's resolution and resize the background accordingly (up to 4K!). Just like in Quinto's "About" window.

Oh wait, if I do so people would complain they cannot resize the skin .... hmmm

Then it would be a fullscreen-only skin like 1010? That would be cool.

One cannot please everybody.

Yes.

No, one cannot.

Question: how do you scroll (through playlist) on a tablet? Our mega tiny scroll thumb will be totally useless on a FullHD tablet.

[ariszlo]

Like on a phone: touch the Playlist area lightly with your finger and move your finger up or down.

I believe a button to switch the layout from normal (with PE) to ml (with ML) would make the skin more usable.

I reply e-mails and messages all the time but haven't received anything from you, or you missed some letter or I somehow missed it somehow (it's not on Spam).

..Like on a phone: touch the Playlist area lightly with your finger and move your finger up or down.

Actually I think here's the first big problem for this skin, as far as I can tell, Playlist doesn't scroll with swipes, I only get moving entries on my Laptop with touchscreen, maybe on a proper tablet this is different?
