Deere needs finishing

[Michael S.]

The skin deer is not working. I would say there are missing files for this skin in the setup.

To be shure, i renamed the skin folder and the i started the setup again. Not better. To present what i mean, i made a screenhot and atteched it.

Sorry, information needed: W7/64 with mixxx-master-git4716-x64.exe

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

you see the Deere Skeleton skin. It just should looks like that.
It is a pending work, looking for contributors, to port the all Mixxx 1.11 Skins to 1.12.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

I don't see the knobs or sliders, so I think maybe there are some assets missing?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Where the sliders available before the folder rename?

[Michael S. (arbeit-u)]

The Slider wasn't seen before. That was the reaseon why i renamed the folder (fresh install skins was my goal with rename).
(I have all old folders and 1.11 files from before 1.12)
I think: At install all files must be installed. Old or new should not intrested. It should be complete installed with the newest Files.

[Michael S. (arbeit-u)]

When i change the skin to deer, there are many Errors to find in Mixxx Debug Messages. Messages are attached.

[Michael S. (arbeit-u)]

I have made a look in mixxx 1.11 skins. There in a old Deer folder. Inside 458 Files. In the new Deer are only 65 Files. (includes subfolder). Hmmm... its too less files i think.

[Michael S. (arbeit-u)]

I have installed the 4720 and the i copy the install details in editor. Inside i searched the skin "deer" installation part. Here is it. I say, pictures are missing.

Hi Michael, thanks for your investigations. Skins in 1.12.0 require far fewer files. What you're seeing (bright ugly colors and unpolished widgets) is the current state of Deere. I can confirm that there are no missing files.

[Michael S. (arbeit-u)]

OK, thanks for the information.
If i saw deer first time, wondering was first reaction and second searching an error ;-).

When deer is so correct, then close this bug.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Ok, we'll leave this open (even though it's an obvious one :) )

Mixxx 1.12.0 can't release until Deere is a usable skin.

[Owen Williams (ywwg)]

Who wants to step up and take ownership of this? We really need this skin complete to do a release

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

I'm poking at this -- others should feel free to join in.

Where do you plan to commit to? in developer_skins (Deere is out of sxnc there), directly in Master or a personal branch with a WIP PR. I have some small changes to Deere sitting here that may apply.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Direct to master was my plan. I don't have any outstanding work currently.

[RJ Skerry-Ryan (rryan)]

Mixxx 1.12.0 will not release without Deere looking awesome -- obviously :).

Closing since this doesn't describe any specific action.
