flyingdutchman Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 On 5/13/2023 at 1:24 PM, slizzap said: 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. 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. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldavid1 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hello. Since the most recent update I am having an issue when I switch to landscape it shows a "skin failed" error message and reverts to the built in skin. I haven't changed any of my settings. Thanks for any help you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slizzap Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Same issue. I downloaded the new skin and it immediately threw that error message. I went into the screen that has these new options and I did the "Restore Defaults" at the bottom of the screen, and this allowed the skin to work again. I started toying around with the Play button size for the Portrait view and got everything dialed in the way I like. Then I went in and made the same change to Landscape view and immediately started crashing. It seems that any changes to the Landscape view for these new settings is crashing the skin.

andrewilley Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Did you even get anywhere with the bugs I reported a while ago? Specifically: The Chromecast Player Screen icon is still not being hidden when that option set in PA's Settings, it is always visible. The Metadata Info's surrounding lozenge panel (which is the only tappable portion) is still getting cropped, presumably by the parent object's bounding area? Ideally I'd like to display it one line lower than this, but it then becomes unusable as the tappable area gets so small that you can't select it: There is an unexpected horizontal line shown between the MiniPlayer and NavBar Seekbar in library views (which has actually got a lot bigger, as it used to just be a pixel-wide line). I'm guessing it's some kind of background bleed-through?: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 @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.

flyingdutchman Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Thanks for the update. Chromecast button is now able to be hidden, thank you. The metadata info bounding box issue is partly resolved, but there seem to be two separate boxes in use, one for the main text zone and a second one for the symbol/icon. I'd often wondered why the small symbol background colour sometimes looked strangely different to the rest of the line; now zooming in, I understand why - it's because the two opacities are being superimposed additively creating two different background colours when they should all be the same: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the colours of the two areas in your example, what values did you set? But still leaving the navbar on the Player Screen fully transparent.

andrewilley Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 @flyingdutchman The trouble with setting Navbar Background Colour to anything other than Transparent is that is applies the fixed colour to the player screen too (which I want to remain transparent): Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 2 hours ago, flyingdutchman said: Transparent does what it says on the tin I believe For the PA NavBar, transparent works fine on the Player Screen, but it comes out at a solid dark grey on the Library pages. Ideally I'd like it to be transparent on the Player Screen, and allow Blue 700 Opaque on the Library view. Not sure if that's possible though.

flyingdutchman Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrynz Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Ever since getting v.229, I am no longer able to increase the play button size beyond 50 in landscape mode, or move the elapsed and duration bar without the image being clipped or disappearing all together. Any idea what is causing this? I haven't altered any other settings since v.228. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrynz Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Thanks for the response. I've tried all of that to no avail. I should mention I've got Yaps installed on two phones and they're both doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 @Bigrynz best to send me your skin settings by exporting them. Please also state what device(s) you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
