Hi Peter,

Here a small old request in unattended mode: Please show artist name and maximum tracks to play from the playlist. Every week i am listening to unknown work from new artists. So for me it is informative to know the artist and how many tracks to go during the unattended session. See http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=734.msg6745#msg6745

Regards Johan

Very good. I forgot about this one, and I don't think I put it on a list somewhere.
Now it is. :)

White characters in a silver background colour, not yet solved in version 09z-2!

See http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1245.msg11312#msg11312

It's off the ToDo list here ... ?

hehe

Now don't tell me you don't like the colour. :)

No I don't like the colour in the last version. It has still a silver colour!

That's because I always have the latest version ...
:)

In unattended mode you show some settings like sample-rate, inverse,.. Is it possible to add an HDCD-indicator to know what cd is HD encoded?

I intended to do that for 0.9z-3, yes. :)

:)

It will be: 01/14 - White Owl ???? or 01/01 when one track is in the playlist????

Great HDCD indication!

Believe it or not, but I have been looking for 15 minutes why the XX/XX didn't work anymore ...
But this shows as OSD Text, and not in the WallPaper !

I really was waiting for your comments on this, haha

I want larger buttons! Some of them are sooo tiny, I need a microscope.
Also, the long "help text" should stay a little longer on the screen. I don't get to read (and understand) it all before it disapears.

(You probably think I am a very old man with poor sight and a slow brain).

Impulsive reaction.......Shame shame.....sorry!

Pedal, you probably *are* an old man with poor sight. Haha. Slow brain ? ... I'm not so sure. Anyway, after the ToolTip appeared, it's available under the ? button at the top. You won't be able to see that though. So, just click away in that area, until you see the text appear. It will stay there as long as you went out to buy a loop ! Really !!

Btw, you can always set the font size to 125% in the Monitor settings.

But seriously, once you are used to where the buttons are, you can find them with closed eyes. Even old men can do that. It's nature.
:swoon:

Haha,

But for old men clicking with the mouse on a small button is difficult too!
Especially if you use a 'Wim Kok'- mouse. :scratching: :scratching: :scratching:

Yes, another vote for old blind mice, I mean men, and I'm not even that old or blind. The Q buttons are small enough that they can get lost in a dead pixel and the values, even a loop won't find them. I may be exaggerating but I'm not sure, as I've just lost my Ps & Qs again. :fool:

 :offtopic: Where do these faces come from originally? In other words how do I set them up for my own self? Or is it :toomuch: to ask? Never mind, I figured it out. :blink:

Chris

Hey hey , don't steel them ! Some of them were made in this very room here !

haha :xx:

I fully agree about the Q knobs and the readout of their value. Do you have the possibility of mirroring your mouse pointer ? that *does* help !

Maybe, what is it?  :dntknw: Never heard of it.

Chris

Me neither. Hey, I can't know everything.
Haha.

hello P
just switched to z-2 and the colour is terrible to read; turqois on black! give me a break
can I change it to black on white which is easier on the eyes?
foobar is very good in this department with wide possibilities of customizing the layout

Leif

despite the looks it sounds great!
testing John Kenny modified HIFACE and the combo really sings!

Leif

Thanks leif.

Having a "colour on colour" problem myself I sure know what you can mean. Sorry for it. The colour is not much different from any "modern" equipment with a display, and I (indeed) wouldn't be able to read it from a distance where anyone could.
It all started out as a customizeable thing, but in the end I had to let that go. Later ...

Thanks very much for the feedback; I knew someone would come up with it at some stage ...

White characters in a silver background colour in context menus, not yet solved in version 09z-3!

See http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=1245.msg11312#msg11312

Johan, can you show me a picture of that ? I mean, I'm not aware of this.

Peter

See Attachment

Font sizes are too small on the z3 version - running 1920x1080p and even with bigger 125% fonts in windows the text are too small, also the buttons could be bigger imo.

Agree with some above - the contrast in the selected colours are too low. Pick something which increases the contrast, e.g. light on dark or vice versa.

:oops: I now see I forgot something for the 0.9z-3 install. Unzip below attachment over your 0.9z-3 folder.

Thank you Johan,
Peter

Try running your desktop at a lower resolution. 1280 x 720 should make it much easier to read the text and navigate around the buttons.

Cheers,

Russ

Scaling down the resolution is not an option for me as i use other programs which needs 1080p. And, the defacto standard res these days both on graphics cards and displays are 1080p.

Better to change the program me thinks... :)

Don't forget I'm using a 8" LCD screen 640x480 screen resolution :(

Hello Peter,
I want to ask you  :) what about in every new version of XX to add one very basic lite version with no album art, no gallery, skin, visual effects etc. etc., just playlist, setting tree and play/stop buttons. Because after tweak OS and put video settings to 256bit colors...I don't care about any skin in XX :D
Best regards, Criss.

Hi Criss,

have you tried using the layout presets? Those little buttons labeled 1 to 5 on the top left. If you simply need to have a shrunken down interface while using XXHE in attended mode, then you should be able to achieve what you want using that feature.

With 5 presets to define as you wish, you could set one layout for only the controls, another to show the playlist etc. It's just a matter of dragging the GUI borders around to hide of reveal the components you wish to use.

Creating a "lite" version for each release would be a lot more work for Peter I imagine.

See below for one example.

Cheers,

Russ
 

No just for the next one and ect. I did tried it and it's ok but still feeling XX heavy..(I know that's my PC problem)
Regards, Criss.

Let me enlighten you (all) a bit ...

First off, no way 1920x1080 is a defacto standard. Not these days, nor will it be tomorrow. That is, not until the time we all work with 23" or larger displays. And will we ever ? I don't think so.
So, both feet on the ground, anyone using a normal sized display (allowing 1920x1080 anyway) will not use any random application. And don't tell me something like Word is amongst that, allowing to scale the font size on the fly.

What you'd actually want is a larger "form" which doesn't comprise of 640x480 (which is kind of what XX is made for) but 1280x1024 at least. Then everything will be larger and large enough. However :

The problem is not that XX is too small or anything, the problem is that you use a too small display with a resolution of 1920x1080. Nice for pictures and movies, but a too high resolution for any normal application.

The lot is scalable allright, like it will at setting the OS-wide "scale factor", but I don't know whether this can be used somehow outside of the OS scale factor. If it can I obviously will allow to apply it, but if it can't ... bad luck.

And please, we can't turn this the other way around : make it larger for a strange (:yes:) 1920x1080 setup, while someone like Johan (with a 640x480 screen) won't be able to use it at all (one button would use half of his screen).

If you can't agree or have better ideas, anything, please let me know.

Peter


PS: One more thing : This is not about buttons being too small, it is about buttons being to close to eachother (think touch screen especially). This means that making buttons larger (while the screen stays the same), it gets worse. Please try to get this.

Hi Peter, will the zip download you posted yesterday for backround color also work for 9-Z2? Just wondering.

Haha, good one. Yes, it will ...

Thanks!
