MC14 and Touchscreen

(1/4) > >>

Uwe:
A few days ago i changed from MC12 to MC14. First impression was, that the touchscreen-integraton is not so consistent and deep as in MC12.For example, i'm missing the scrolling functionality in lists without the scrollbar: In MC12 it was possible to scroll downwards and upwards with the move of the finger on the touch. In MC14, you have to use the scrollbar on the right side. This scrollbar is very narrow for touchscreen use and it is totally missing on the news and weather-side. You can't scroll theese sides with a touchscreen at all.
I'm using the same touchscreen since MC8 (yes, it's a really faithful hardware) and the integration became better and better. So i don't really understand the step from 12 to 14. But maybe i miss something in the setup of MC14 because i've learned that the time you have to spend in the setup becomes longer and longer. Maybe there's a checkmark or a bit i have to set and i'm happy again.
I'm using the Obsidian-Touch skin.

The scrolling should still work by grabbing and "throwing" (a flick).   Try Obsidian.

Uwe:
Thanks for your quick answer!
The "throwing" works, that's right. But that is not what i mean. Throwing makes sense, when you want to see the next -lets say- part of one screen. What i mean is really scrolling. To see the next 100 items of a list of songs for example. In MC12 you dip on the touchscreen and move your finger to the lower border of the screen. Then the screen began to scroll - as long as you rest your finger on the screen. When you put away your finger, the scrolling stopped. Very simple but absolutly brilliant for touchscreen-use.

The "throwing" is also useless for the information-wheather and information-news items in Theatreview because when you dip your finger on the screen for "throwing", the dipped entry grows up and "throwing" does not work. That's what i try to describe with the "inconsistent usebility".

Puh, very difficult to explain with my poor english- sorry for that.

Uwe:
Is it possible to modify the width of the scrollbar in Theatreview (Obsidian-Touch Skin)?
This is the minimum condition to use my touchscreen furthermore in MC14.

Thanks

Dear JRiver Team,

i spent nearly one day (10 Hours) in upgrading my MC from 12 to 14. And i must recognize, that the usibilty of my Touch-Screen is not as good as before.
I know, that you are very busy at the Moment with MC15, but would you please invest a few minutes in my questions.
Maybe my english is not good enough to understand or you are not interested in Touch-Screen Support any more, or i haven't found the answers in the Wiki or in the forum, or maybe MC15 will bring back the Touch-Screen features again. But please let me know. MC is making music in my living-room every day- since a few years and i just want to know if i can use my Touch or if i have to swap to a Remot-Control or something else.

Thank you
