VDJ Pro7.
Trying to tinker with a skin to customize it. Things like "Drag a song on this deck to load it" and moving the VDJ Logo.
Can't find either in the .bmp or the .xml text.
Where do things like this hide?
Thanks mucho,
Doug

The "drag a song" text comes from the language XML files, and can be customized.

The logo bitmap is within the main VDJ program, but the position/size of it can be changed via the skin XML.

That explains the logo; still can't find the "drag" text. A "Find" in the .xml file yields no results...

The language XML files. I'm using a modified copy of English.xml (in VDJ 8) and have changed my deck display text.

I just tried changing the language in VDJ 7 (skins tab) and it doesn't seem to affect anything....

Oh. I guess I don't know where the "language" xml is. I've only found the one xml file and a bmp file that corresponds.

The language files are not in the skin. They're part of the VDJ installation.

You can still bypass the text coming from the language.xml file and display your own custom one
here is how..
<textzone visibility="not loaded">
<size width="605" height="25"/>
<pos x="+10" y="+150"/>
<text size="22" color="white" weight="bold" align="center" scroll="no" format="Drag n drop your favorite track..or whatever message you want to provide"/>
</textzone>
<textzone visibility="loaded">
<size width="605" height="25"/>
<pos x="+10" y="+150"/>
<text size="22" color="white" weight="bold" align="center" scroll="no" format="%Author"/>
</textzone>

Looks cool. I have to fiddle with this.. I found the area in the xml where the %author% and related info is..
(Doesn't say anything about "loaded" or not.
Curious though, since the "Drag a song...." text is embedded in the VDL program, how is it that adding this instruction to the xml file would clobber it?
And I assume that I should be using x and y positioning statements relative to my actual skin, correct? (1366x768)

Search in the folder \Documents\VirtualDJ\Languages and open the languages xml file you use in notepad.
Then search in the file for "drag" and you find this:

<DragToStart>Drag a song on this deck to load it</DragToStart>
You can change the text "Drag a song on this deck to load it"

don't forget to back-up first.

Thanks JB! I never knew that file was there.
(But I can tell I don't want to mess with it too much) :-)
