Thanks. I will wait. It looks slightly broken, but it is just a cosmetic thing.

Yeah, I noticed. It's fixed locally, but since I don't know if more skin-relevant changes are coming I won't publish an update to the skin until we have the final new mediamonkey update.

If you don't want to wait until that, you can actually fix it yourself in the meantime. Simply open /skin/skin_base_add.less in the code monkey folder and add '@darkTheme: true;' to the top of the file.

The latest release of MM (2814) seems to have changed the Album and the Artist detail panels. The button that did have the title "Online" no longer renders correctly.

See here. #1 is the Material Design skin, and #2 is Code Monkey.

Heads up, with the release of MediaMonkey 5.0.3 I also just submitted version 3.0.59 to the addon gallery and tagged it as stable release on github.

The new version now adds an additional display size between normal and large, and uses the new squeezeWindowContent progress bar introduced in MM 5.0.3. The minimum required MM version has therefore also been set tl 5.0.3.

If you already installed 3.0.59 from github a couple of weeks ago you don't need to do anything, the newly released version is identical to that version. If not, the update should be available via the built-in updater shortly.

Not sure what you mean, the skin only comes with one font and it was never possible to select another one (you can read more about that here).

I guess it's possible to change the font by directly editing the addon or swapping out font files after installing it. I don't have strong feelings for or against it, and people are welcome to do that if they really can't live with the included font, but it's deep into DIY territory so it's not something I offer support for.

@TIV73

I have installed version 3.0.59 and can no longer switch to "Arial".
So this skin is unusable for me.
Thanks

Thanks for the hint. I will not do this.
That is up to the inventor TIV73

If you know your way around Github, you could make a fork and submit a pull request with your changes. It'll just be up to the author whether he wants to include the changes & merge the request.

Close MM5
Start Windows Explorer
Search bar: input %appdata%
Double click: Mediamonkey5 folder
Double-click: Skins folder
Double-click: CodeMonkey folder
There is the file “info.json”
Open this with WindowsEditor

There are the entries:

"12": "Compact",
"13": "Normal",
"15": "Large",
"17": "Very large"

Add the following between 13 and 15: "14": "Medium",

save file
exit editor

Start MM5 and change your skin setting

I testet with "Font-Family: Arial and Consolas
All tests OK

Hello TIV73,

Could you add a 5th Display size option for the font size "Medium" that is between Normal and Large. I find the font size for large is a little big for my taste and setup.

Thank you.

I had some offline communication with drakinite.
The next beta release of MM5 will fix this issue.

Could you please record a video and either send it to me or add it to https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18530 ? The status bar for background tasks is supposed to be visible on *all* tabs, not just one.
It is visible in all tabs.
tab a = the tab where I an running a sync job to Google Drive
tab b = another tab, which is viewing a Collection using the List with Album View.

I ran the sync in tab a
It is a long running job
I switched to tab b to view some non-related things while the sync ran in the background.

tab b does show the messages coming from tab a
but they overwrite the message that tab a is already displaying in the status bar, ie. the footer line from the main centre panel

Look at the image I posted again.

The top half shows tab b without the background task running
The bottom half also shows tab b, but this time with the background task running
The message from tab a is illegible due to overwriting, and is too far to the left anyway, because it is overwriting the Media tree in the left panel

  1. there is a shortcoming in the MM framework which is causing the effect? Something would could be improved?
  2. you say "the version you are using .." ... the version of which? ... you have another version of the skin coming, which fixes the problem? .. or Drakinite has something coming which address the issue?
  3. or clarity in the Status Bar is not supported when using multiple tabs while a background task is running.
The answer is option 1. MediaMonkey is the one that handles the position of the task status bar now (including adding the extra screen space); Code Monkey just changes the CSS of it. So I'll need to fix it.
