[ronso]

VU-meter WHITE is not a bug is a feature

...exactly!

Just tried on a mid 2013 Macbook Air with OS X 10.10.5. Same issue. Everything works except the skin panel.

I have an idea about this issue...
Just to be sure: you tried with a fresh installlation and fresh skin?

Updated/renamed to Tango v0.9.1
see 1st post for details

Enjoy!

Hi Ronso,
great job, i´ll show you with pleasure screenshots with the german skin. Started with a clean mixxx.cfg. When FX expand it is larger like the previous version and the black border under the grey button look a little bit strange.

Thank you for the screen! It reminds me that I need to improve my test routine, should also test without controller who automatically loads Effects.
I also noticed som issues with MixerBar whith little vertical space.

Btw, did you try 2.1_alpha sometime? http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/ (remember to back up your profile!)

Hi Ronso,
i´ve tried a 2.1 in a virtual maschine. Indeed the latest packets are broken, the installer stop nearly at the end.
So i picked Git6165 from Januaray and maked a quick check. Everything look fine. Thumbs up! Only thing FX is by default off (grey).
Best, Kafuzke

If you have the time, you should file a short bug report so the developers know about it https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/

This is not related to skins, I'd say: I run my own 6110 build and they're all ON after start, even without controller.
You could add this to your controller's script, probably best at the end of init() function:

Code: Select all

for (var i=1; i<=4; i++) {
   // Enable all EffectUnits
   engine.setValue("[EffectRack1_EffectUnit"+i+"]","enabled",1);
}

Only thing FX is by default off (grey).

This is an intentional change for 2.1. All effects are off when Mixxx starts and the deck assignment switches are remembered across restarts of Mixxx. Effects are off by default to prevent accidentally having them changing the sound when starting a set. That happened to me setting up for a gig with the filter cutting out all the sound for a deck. I had to ask the DJ before me to play another track while I figured out why I wasn't getting any sound coming out.

Updated to Tango_v0.9.5
* add optional Filter knob to EQ section
* redesign MixerBar, add VU meters & Mute buttons
* fix Mixer layout
* ...

This will be the last major update for a while (except you find some ugly bugs).
I'd still appreciate shots from screens smaller/bigger than 1366*768!

Cheers!
