Possible to edit column positions in mediabase?

I have a question regarding editing of skins / GUI elements:

Is there any possibility to edit font and position of the column names ("Artist", "BPM", "Duration" ...) or the columns in the mediabase?
Because in DVS 7.4 - especially on my netbook - the columns are placed too far to the left (Or the column title to the right).
Looks like a stair ..
Normally i would regard this as "cosmetics", but it is drastic and makes the columns hard to assign values to the related column.
And it gives a weird look.
I.e. the Value "2009" is placed almost 5 millimeters to the left from the column title "Year".
Can this be adjusted by users? I did a detailed search and looked in the skins-files & documentation for skin-editing - but couldn't find anything.

Maybe someone has a hint for me?

Peace

Orson

Hey,

I had last or 2 years ago an border at my columes. You have to add this line at the %mediabase segment.
Code: Select all
:BORDER      67   2   302   19      RGB(100,100,100) RGB(0,0,0)


Then you should get a light gray border.
How to move the text to the middle or so is to my knwolege not possible but maybe one of the Dev team could answer this question.

Regards
Christian

Hi Christian,

Thank you.
I saw that before and tried uncommenting the border - doesn't seem to work with newer versions of mediabase?!
It is applied to the search field only, so that it gets about 300 px wide and with the grey border :mrgreen: looks very strange ..
but thanks anyway. Maybe someone from support / Developers has an idea.
It's not that important - it's just: i worked over 10 hours with Photoshop and Notepad++ to adapt the LCD Skin to my Netbook. Everything is now really, really cool -> and then i see the columns. Grrr! Well, as a sysadmin i should know about software always having this kind of surprise - "it's not a bug, it's a feature!" ;-)
