[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@Bigrynz not sure why this happens. perhaps resetting to defaults for individual options eg button size, or moving things  may help. As you can see in the changelog, no changes were made that would affect the issues you are describing

[any way to sort playlists by artist/album AND track number?]

@eggtown you state that music playlist manager did not work.i would be interested to learn what you tried etc. You can email me

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley

 

New option added . You can now select any of the usual colours for the navbar showing in Library and Eq screen. I have found however that when using an opaque colour, the colour in bottom part does not match up with the top part. The reason for this is that the underlying UI navbar is set to transparent It works fine with solid colours though

Set to Blue700

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley there are 2 options, none and transparent. None does not appear to work and I will remove this. Transparent does what it says on the tin I believe

[Reset all "Liked Songs"]

@WelcoreTemplar music playlist manager has an option to zero all ratings/likes/dislikes

[What skins do people use.]

Here are some more examples

Volume slider on right, layout amended, spectrum showing, different play buttons, different equaliser buttons and so on and on

@andrewilley the thin line on the navbar seekbar was due to the overlap of the minilayer and navbar seekbar. I have added a small margin at the top of the navbar seekbar. Below the result. 

[What skins do people use.]

@heidl yes, You are the designer, my skin enables the user to be as creative as they can be. 

as @MotleyG points out "No other skin has as much direct and precise control as YAPS, but this means it requires the most work to fully tune every element"

So it does take some (or considerable) effort to create something you like.

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley unfortunately i had to add a separate option. I was unable to link into the Poweramp setting as the show/hide are a number of different styles, not a single reference or variable

[What skins do people use.]

Here is an example of YAPS, gradient background, determined by the user instead of selecting from predefined options

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley can you email me your skin YAPS settings please

I cannot reproduce the thin line between the miniplayer and navbar. I remember fixing this in a previous release though.

Just released an updated version

        - fix for moving Metadata down
        - added show/hide option for Chromecast button on main UI.

[What skins do people use.]

@heidl you have forgotten YAPS it does things no other skins do. You can even redesign the layout !!

[Way to view only unlistened tracks]

• @Mark Hewitt yes you can. Settings, Smart Playlists. Enter a name for the new sql query, then select Times Payed from the drop down. Operator "equals" and  value 0

Add rule and save the query first. Then execute. Add a new playlist eg

Now return to the sql query and add the new playlist to the "Linked Playlist" 

Lastly, Settings, Other Settings

set to ON

This should automatically update the linked playlist by effectively deleting and recreating it, each time you launch the app

 

 

[Way to view only unlistened tracks]

@Mark Hewitt my app Music Playlist Manager can show you in a second how many times a track was played. By selecting one or more entries you can create a playlist directly in Poweamp

[Lyrics on Player Screen via Skins?]

@andrewilley i could certainly work with something like you suggest. Yaps wouls allow fitting it anywhere on the main ui

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@slizzap  small bug which i have now fixed. 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@pauldavid1 try and set the size of play buttons in landscape. This was the only change. I will see if others have the same issue

Hey guys,

I've got one issue to report and one feature request. One thing to note is that my usage of PA and YAPS is limited to my car's Android head unit, and I often switch between landscape (full screen) and portrait (split screen, when sharing PA with navigation) views.

1. After one of the last few updates I noticed that the Track/Album text would randomly get cut off when in portrait view. The odd thing is that if I pressed Play/Pause it would fix the issue and display the full text...until the next song came on and the text changed, then it would happen again. Today I was motivated to play around with the settings and I found that a value of "92" for the Up/Down setting in Portrait view was the sweet spot that solved this problem and fully displayed the text without being cut off. If I set this at 93 the lowercase "Y"s, "P"s, "J"s etc would start cutting off, and any lower just cuts off even more text. But again, pressing Play/Pause would temporarily solve this problem. Moving the Waveseek bar/Play buttons down lower did not allow me to move lower than 92. So while initially I thought it might just be settings and overlapping of elements, this appears to be more of a bug.
2. Feature request: Can you please allow for the sizing of the Play, Previous/Next Track, Category buttons independently between landscape and portrait views. The buttons were sized perfectly for me in landscape view, but the buttons in portrait view were extremely tiny and almost unusable while driving. Since I was playing around today I tried changing these settings, and now whatever setting I use, even if I revert back to my original settings of 30 dpi (all the way left), the buttons are the exact same size regardless of whether I'm in landscape or portrait view...so now it's too small in landscape view. Having one setting for both views makes it impossible for me to find a happy medium where the buttons are properly sized for both views. I really don't know why they were sized differently before I changed the setting today and now it's the same between both views, and I can't get back.

@slizzap resizing play buttons in landscpe is now available

[Default 3rd Party Skin for Light/Dark Mode]

@andrewilley i guess i was taking "dark mode" too literal. As for adding a second skin, not only will the app nearly double in size, but it will be maintenance nightmare. Apart from this. As i stated, too much effort to implement for yaps. As for Melodi, google removed the original versions as being too similar. The developer therefore created a new app, merging the two skins.

[Default 3rd Party Skin for Light/Dark Mode]

@hernangb and they do what exactly? just change background or complete colour schemes as defined by the developer, not the user

[Default 3rd Party Skin for Light/Dark Mode]

@andrewilley yes, effectively adding another skin as all options identifiers must be unique (remener stable-ids?) From a developer point of view too much effort for too little gain

[Default 3rd Party Skin for Light/Dark Mode]

@hernangb Dark mode for  skins does not make sense in my opinion. Take Yaps for example, the user is able to set many many options, colours, backgrounds, change layout etc. The "dark skin" must be pre specified and will vary from user to user so a "dark mode" for Yaps would be what??? . It works for default Poweramp as both light and dark are given. With custom skins  I cannot see how it would work.

@maxmp

"as signature hashes will be baked into Poweramp"

looking forward to his added feature

if i can be of any help by adapting yaps, let me know

[Skin security measures]

@maxmp

1. Yaps is a paid skin, Big Yaps is free. As you cannot execute any runtime code within a skin, the only possible option (imo) is in the Main Activity which then lauches/applies the skin.

2. Yaps and Big Yaps have different signatures

3. are you suggesting that a skin can be licensed in the same way as Poweramp ?
