Ok so I have my skin updated for 8 but Im having 1 last problem. I have white platter but the text thats on the platters (time, range,bpm & key) aren't showing. If you look at the picture you can see the numbers when the needle passes over them,
Can someone please tell me how to fix this??
One more thing, Im on a Mac yet the same skin works fine on my PC..........Thanks for the time and info

Yup, changed it to black and still nothing. Like I said the same skin works on my PC but this is only happening on my Mac.

Huey,
Had a quick look at your XML an it looks like it is a layering issue.
Remember that version 8 will layer the items as they are written in XML. At the moment your patter/rotation appears AFTER your text. So your text is going to be placed under the platter. Hence when you can only see it when a mask passes over it.
Try re-ordering it and place the rotation BEFORE the text.

The size/position are the platters up top,
the down is all black square
the clip mask is a white square with a black needle on it.

Clipmasks and masks in general should not be used in version 8. Instead, simply draw the part that you need to rotate with transparency.

I don really think that's problem as it works fine on my PC.
This is a Mac problem. And I'm not even sure I understand what your saying when you say draw it with transparency??

Again, dont try to think like we used to skin with version 7. Even if its a bug on the Mac side, i dont think the Dev Team will spend time at the moment to take a look.
As said previously, dont use masks. Simply draw the elements with transparent background, so have one that will look like a ring (for the circular songposition), and another one with the rotated marker. Make sure the rotation part is after the textzones in the xml and you will be fine.

I've run into the same issue on a skin I've just modified for a Pro Member.
Same style jogs with text on them. Everything works fine on PC, but on his Mac there's no text.
I did try the new transparency method when I first started the modification, but couldn't even get the jogs to appear.
