In Theater View, also the new one I have been trying to switch of the bottum part of Playing Now.
In the Playing Now there is always something dsiplayed. It could be cover art, MC playing ping pong of pictures, etc, etc.
I have tried to disable it. Just to have nothing blocking the nice Theater View look that is hidden beyond this...
Is there a way to do this???

to change it you have to change something in the code of the skin. it can be a bit different depending on the skin you would like to change. but i guess you want to change the new obsidian skin

i will try to explain also a bit on how it works..

first go to program files>jriver>fullskins
make a copy of the obsidian folder
and give this copy a new name..

in the new folder there is a file called main.xml. open it with notepad.
this file defines the look of the skin. in most skins you will find the layout of the different views.. but not in this skin.
in the second sentence you see the name of the skin (change this name also). and also the base skin adres...
this base skin is used for all the items needed for theaterview but not defined in the main xml.
now go to the shared folder in fullskins and open base2 xml with notepad. and copy the whole part that starts with < LAYOUT > and ends with < / LAYOUT >.
and paste this somewhere inside the main xml.

now look for the sentence       <Item Name="PIP" Base="ViewBackground" Placement="Bottom" Size="49.5%" Crop="1%" />
its in the layout of playing now... and throw that sentense away... save and close...

should work now with out.

just to be sure.. here is how the main xml should look after all this.. i called the new skin
obsidian PIPloos

hope it is a bit clear...
as a note, in other skins the layout part could already be there (like in the old obsidian). the copying out of the base is not necesarry then...

veel plezier

edit.. for explaining i had to make it myself. so when you dont succeed, just pm me and i can send you the 'obsidian PIPloos'

[Dutch Peter]

I have done this and it works.
Off course I was looking for a (On/Off) configuration item in MC13, but that's not there ..... yet.

Dank je.

Gappie,
I found that that Playing Now in the new Theater View does not update when a new song starts.
Going ' back' and re-entering Playing Now shows the correct list.
I am using the Play Radio function ...

i could not reproduce that with the build im using now  ... what you see now was also a 'bug' for a while in 12 when playing radio. got repaired.
