1024x600 skins

[lucas_r]

As there are no 1024x600 skins for Deere, LateNight & LateNightBlues, I resized them and tested them a lot. I think it would be helpful to add them to Mixxx :)

P.S. the Deere skin is v1.10.0.14 and the LateNight skins are 1.10.0.09.

Good work!
Is it possible to optimize them for fullscreen? (ideally dynamical)

[lucas_r (lucas.r)]

Thanks!

What do you mean? If I make the skins bigger, you can only use them in fullscreen, because in window mode they would be too big. But I can make a version just for fullscreen.

Are dynamically skins possible?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Normally I use Mixxx always in fullscreen mode, except when I want to switch to an other Application.
The existing netbooks skins are also optimized for fullscreen.

Today dynamical skins are not possible, except from the skin toggle approach in lp:~ywwg/mixxx/DJO-hacks-1.10.

@jus: do you think it is a good idea to measure the screen resolution and fill the rest of the screen with the library?

For the most part, skins are going to be awkward until we get to mythical UI 2.0, at which point everything is supposed to be scalable and resizable.

As it stands, none of the skins are really good for windowed mode. Maybe we should make some very small skins in the latenight and deere styles that will fit in an 800x600 size area (or even smaller)? I'm thinking of just the library, play/pause, waveform overviews (not the signals), and perhaps a crossfader. That would be enough to do some library management and basic track playback. It would also be enough for windowing the UI, dragging some files from the file manager into mixxx, and then organizing some crates.

Now that we have a fully resizable skinning system, resolution-specific skins aren't needed anymore.
Nonetheless, thank you for your work.
