YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before

Hi there, I tried to send you a private message but it said you can't receive them.

@mark586 I have a few issues with the grid views in recent builds too, especially when metadata is involved. Could be conflicts with my choice of fonts and sizes of course. I don't use grid view much, so I hadn't noticed.

You had reached the limit for maximum number of forum messenger conversations. I've increased it a bit for you.

@andrewilley the grid views were showing metadata whereas the default Poweramp skin does not. I have now hidden the metadata field in the grid views to bring it in line with Poweramp

[flyingdutchman]

@maxmpfound a small error in the attrs-styles-powerui.xml

<!-- Parametric -->
        <attr name="EqParamColorCircleSelector" format="reference"/>
        <attr name="EqParamGainLinearKnob" format="reference"/>
        <attr name="EqParamGainLinearKnob" format="reference"/>
        <attr name="EqParamPlaceholder1" format="reference"/>
        <attr name="EqParamPlaceholder2" format="reference"/>

and in styles-powerui-styles.xml

there are 2 EqParamGainLinearKnob references

Latest release published on Google Play 

- small bug fix for grid library views

- 2 new equaliser sliders, my interpretation of the default Poweramp slider and a diamond shaped slider

Can this skin add Tempo controller buttons to main player page?  could it be updated to do that?

Can I hide the sleep timer or the shuffle buttons using this?

 

[flyingdutchman]

@doctorman you can hide any or all of those buttons. As for the tempo knob, i do not think it is possible. Knobs etc are part of a given layout which a skin cannot change.

thanks, well Tempo did not need to be a knob, anyway to enter the higher speed would be fine, 

I guess I have to request it as a feature...

Hi

Love the new version

Is there any way to make the background of the Poweramp default play button blacker?  Im a minimalist and it now doesnt match the black background.  I dont know how to do it either.  Or maybe you can make a button with just the arrow like it but transparent background?

Thanks

Amber

@amber438 switch off gradient background (reset default), select black as background colour (app background colours), hide next prev and category play buttons should do it. Maybe also circle colour to black

Ps, i notice that setting the icon colour of the play buttons is misbehaving. I will check that out

Thanks!  I was going to say that has all been done but the play button colors are not behaving

[flyingdutchman]

@amber438 setting the colour for weither default app or Poweramp default works as normal on my test devices, yet  on my phone it does not work as expected. I will see if I can find out why this is

Okie dokie

Has been for a while for me too. The transparency level of the centre play/pause button when using opaque colour settings still doesn't quite match with the other four pro buttons.

In this example, the Music Button background colour is set to Black Opaque, but the middle button looks slightly more transparent than the others:

In Color background options/music background color options I made it black and it's perfect now. Dont know why it didnt work before. 

[flyingdutchman]

@andrewilley it seems to be impossible to correct this. I suspect Poweramp itself applies something over the buttons. Each of those buttons has exactly the same definitions applied (apart from the bitmap itself). All styling has been pared down to dimensions, left/right margin and scale and drawable (bitmap). All other aspects are handled by Poweramp itself.

How strange, it only affects opaque middle buttons, and it's fine if the colour is solid. I'm sure this has only started happening relatively recently, but maybe I only started using opaque buttons recently?

@andrewilley agreed, I tried everything I could think of. I think that because it is opaque some other (unknown) layer, (when switching play/pause)  affects the button

Currently it's the same transparency whether in play or pause state. At some point in the past, I seem to recall it changed between play/pause conditions. It's really trivial, just a bit irritating to look at.

@andrewilley mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, fixed !!

[amber438]

Yay. Howd ya do it?

[flyingdutchman]

@amber438 sometimes you just do not see it whilst it is in front of ones eyes. I was setting a background twice, once in the item that displays the button, then again in an underlying style definition.

That's usually where stuff hides, it's never in those really obscure bits of code that you just spent ages digging through.

Now, while we're on a roll  could you maybe add some smaller values for the 'Resize Metainfo field' width control? Even at 250dp (below) the maximum width of the meta content is still quite a bit wider than I'd prefer, especially when counter values are in hours rather than minutes:
