Glided - Smaller Player
I like the Glided skin, but the player is too large. Is there a way to make the player smaller?
Thanks,
Tim

Re: Glided - Smaller Player
Only by editing the skin (that would not be a small task though, it would take a lot of time). You could try some other skins that have smaller players, or just disable the player entirely (under the "View" menu).

It's a 14" laptop. What I'd like to see is that the player is about the same width as the library menu on the left. That would allow maximum amount of screen for library itself.rovingcowboy wrote:someone made a slim player you might like that one, what size of screen are you using.
I hope that makes sense.

Re: Glided - Smaller Player
just put it in another folder it should run that way. i got mm 2 in a folder called mm 2 and mm 3 in a folder for mm 3.
so i can't see why it would not work that way for mm 4

I like the layout of MM4, but not the color of the skin. Are there other skin options? Also, is there a summary someplace of the new functionality or what I should try out / help test?

Yes. In tools > options > skin, try the Pulse skin.timjthomas wrote:I like the layout of MM4, but not the color of the skin. Are there other skin options?

Re: Glided - Smaller Player
In my opinion, the place consuming player is the main disadvantage of MM3. Very few skins have players that can be placed under the left panel.timjthomas wrote:

I have solved the problem by customizing my favourite skins (spotify-indie and other dark skins), replacing the standard player with the microplayer which I place under the left panel in the main window. This is a rather simple process which involves unzipping the skin file (.msz) and renaming the microplayer to player.mskin.
All the skins of the MM4-alpha occupy the width of the main window. Glided is far too big and really needs a redesign if it is still to be included in the standard download. 4-delletronic eee (black and green)and Vitreous (white) players are much lower and less space-consuming. Nice! (A LOW player "band" at the bottom is the alternative to a left panel only player)
Hopefully, many of the very good MM-skinners will remember the laptop users with small screens in their future desgins.
PS I am impressed that MM4 Alpha already seems to work perfectly side by side with MM3!

and i think most new users don't know how to use them right, and i think small players don't really save space on small screens!
I run also a 15" and 10" laptop and prefer very slim players at the bottom like the eee player versions i make .
well, left panel / tree is also resizable and it's not easy to create a good looking / working small player,nojac wrote:Please make an alternative player the width of the left panel.
