Mini View changeable?
« on: December 19, 2015, 10:46:41 am »

Dear members of the forum,
I'm trying since some months to install downloaded mini view skins, but without success.
So, I ask me, whether this function is really still possible?
So, can I change the miniview like the exmaples on this site: http://accessories.jriver.com/mediacenter/accessories.php (see below in the attachement)?

Thanks for answering....

With greetings,
Matthias

That's good. this leads me to 2 further questions:
  • 1. Is there a possibility to get an actual skin for the miniview? I don't mean only another choice of the colour, but a completely new layout - like in the examples, You can find on the accessories-site from jriver for Programversion 17 and before. There are also mini playlists, some more informations or more buttons implemented.
    Do you have a hint, where I can find some ready skins in this manner?
  • 2. Is there a description, how I can make such mini-layouts myself?

P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks kurushi for the link. When this would work, it were exactly that, I'm looking for.
But something makes me trouble, because there's written in the webtext "All skin elements for each existing Mini View skin are found in the MiniSkins folder ... You can find them by navigating Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 12\MiniSkins" - Now, I'm using version 20.  So, is it still actual or like you supposed: feature is removed?
Perhaps, does someone else know the answer?

Have a nice sunday,
Matthias

Well navigate you'll find the mini view folder with 3 skins but any skin without mini skin 'll have a tiny view (without playlist & such).
But i don't know how to use them :p
