is StadardPushButton is what appears on the mixer strip?

A mixerstrip uses a 'panel', which is a combi of a picture and an XML file i.e. AudioMixerStrip.Png and AudioMixerStrip.Xml.

Hope this helps, else let me know!

what i meant was "is that the graphic used for the button on the mixer strip", i gathered that about the panel itself.

hell i may as well keep going with this question and save us both some time

I noticed that there are what appears to be actually 4 button states (well, going off of the default panel graphic that is, don't actually know the program all that well yet just made the switch) for the slots... could you explain how that portion of the skin works. sorry if it's obvious i'm not running at full speed here the last week has been really draining.

About the Rack slot states:

State 1 = Process ON, not focussed
State 2 = Process ON, focussed
State 3 = Process OFF, not focussed
State 4 = Process OFF, focussed

thanks, I can't find the graphic files, where are they located? judging from the xml file on the panel i'm guessing the ones in the graphic are just for show as i don't see any hotspots.

FullRack.Xml and SmallRack.Xml are in Common/Panels
FullRack.Png and SmallRack.Png are in Common/Pictures

I mean the graphics for the buttons

sorry i've been ready to blow my brains out because i've been looking at the wrong damn xml file!

hey guys, i have another skinning question:

where do i find "the modular rack" (in Mu.Lab)? is it meant to be the rack which pops up, when i double click a rack in the MPA?? because it is here "..\common\graphics\pictures\ModularRack.png" and i don't know what to do...

thanks in advance ^^

cheers!

ModularRack has become obsolete.

When you double-click a rack in the MPA, FullRack will be used.

oh cool i had wondered about this at one point but i just assumed it was the one art was talking about.

What was that way to quickly reload the skin for when you change something? I did a search but after so long I just give up.

thanks

@ theorize

right-click somewhere between the main menu and the transport panel (somewhere above the composer and between the different panels) - in the context menu you find "reset skin resources"! And thats it!! ^^
