Adding second SongTime to the Window Shade Mode using Bento

[Wineroz]

Yes, this is woking A-OK:

<!-- INFO:
Time passed [when playing] -->
<text id="TimeElapsed"
x="8" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="0" timecolonwidth="6"
display="timeelapsed" align="right" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>

<!-- INFO:
Time remaining [when playing] -->
<text id="TimeRemaining"
x="100" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="0" timecolonwidth="6"
display="timeremaining" align="right" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>​ 

Thank you

Don't use the same id for both of them. Change the id from SongTime to TimeElapsed for your first SongTime tag and to TimeRemaining for the second.

So I am using now this

<groupdef id="shade.display">

<grid
x="0" y="0" h="18" w="-5" relatw="1" ghost="1"
left="shade.display.left"
middle="shade.display.middle"
right="shade.display.right"
/>

<!-- INFO:
Time total [length of file] -->
<text id="SongLength"
x="10" y="7" h="5" w="35" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="1" timecolonwidth="6"
display="songlength" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>

<!-- INFO:
Time passed [when playing] -->
<text id="SongTime"
x="55" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="0" timecolonwidth="6"
display="timeelapsed" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>

<!-- INFO:
Time remaining [when playing] -->
<text id="SongTime"
x="100" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="0" timecolonwidth="6"
display="timeremaining" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>

<!-- INFO:

<text id="Songticker" nograbb="1" move="1"
x="155" y="2" h="12" w="-80" relatw="1"
display="SONGTITLE" ticker="1" rightpadding="-3"
rightclickaction="trackmenu" dblclickaction="trackinfo" align="left"
color="color.display" fontsize="12" valign="top" bold="2"
/>​



<text id="InfoDisplay" nograbb="1" move="1"
x="0" y="2" h="12" w="-7" relatw="1" offsetx="-3"
align="right" color="color.display" fontsize="12" valign="top" bold="2" ghost="1"
/>



<!-- INFO:

<!--
<script file="../Big Bento/scripts/songticker.maki" param="3,small" />
-->

</groupdef> 

and it works - but only if I left click one of them; i.e. I need to manually turn switch of them into the opposite state

So how do I force Winamp to always start with that second SongTime automatically displaying timeremaining in it?

[ariszlo]

Yes, it is: How ?

(In the wake of solution from this discussion: https://forums.winamp.com/forum/skin...ndowshade-mode)

I am using this

<-- INFO:
Time passed / remaining [when playing] --&gt;
&lt;text id="SongTime"
x="52" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="1" timecolonwidth="6"
display="time" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>​ 

to see on my left where I am in a piece of music being played in a given moment. And it works A-OK


But I wish to know precisely where I am - by seeing two counters instead of just one: first with a negative value [i.e. time remaining] and second with positive value [i.e. time passed]. And so I tried adding such second one by simply repeating it but also moving it to the right a little, i.e. using

<-- INFO:
Time remaining [when playing] --&gt;
&lt;text id="SongTime"
x="50" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="1" timecolonwidth="6"
display="time" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>​

<-- INFO:
Time passed [when playing] --&gt;
&lt;text id="SongTime"
x="100" y="7" h="5" w="40" relatw="0" timeroffstyle="1" timecolonwidth="6"
display="time" align="left" font="player.bitmapfont.songinfo"
/>​ 

And it worked. But unfortunate when I click one of them, the second after something like a second follows this change of its state. And thus I always end up with two counters with positive or negative values [or to be precise: with the exact value being updated as a file plays along]


My question then is: is it possible to double this ID entitled SongTime - but with adding a dichotomy to them?

Maybe there is a way to somehow clone / add to my Bento utilizing Winamp 5.666 or newer [not tested yet by me] 5.9.1 of something like SongTime-2 - so that I could left click on it without entangling this click with original SongTime element?
