Hi RJ, Hi Skin designer, Hi Controller Guys,

my original power window button patch introduces a decoupling from the midi buttons and the GUI buttons.
I not sure if this was actually working but we should consider it again because of this bug.

See Bug #876139 and RJs comments in #11

For my feeling it is a good idea to let the skin designer decide a bout the GUI buttons behavior and the midi script writer (controller manufacturer) decide about the midi button behavior.

Mixxx itself should be as much tolerant as possible, to allow different button styles for the same control.

(I am afraid this software design a ideal case and not entirely possible, but we give a try)

I the end the end we can achieve that Mixxx 1.11 works with 1.10 skins like 1.10 does. The same might be possible for midi scrips.

What do you think?

Kind regards,

Daniel
