I Managed To Add A Visuals Button To RadioTime (1 Viewer)

[RAWPWR]

Hi,
if anybody wants to add a "Visuals" button to the "RadioTime" now playing screen, you can.
I came up with this change in the "radiotimenowplaying.xml" file.
Woks pretty well.
Cheers.

Well, just clicking on "X" on keyboard (or respective key on remote) has the same result (if visualization is activated)

What's the point of using a keyboard all the time just to see visualizations, when you already have the remote in hand.
I still use my keyboard to type and such, but use my remote to navigate throughout SteamedMP.

And the reason I'm going this route kind sirs, is because my remote is the " Microsoft RC6 model". You can't map any buttons to use for this purpose.
I tried, and tried and still no joy. Can't use the colored buttons either.
(And this is why I asked in past for visuals button to be added in the hidden menu and which has plenty of room for to add it ) IMO.

catavolt and BassFan, I do appreciate the input but for me and I'm sure others that have a remote like my model may find this useful so you don't have to be glued to your keyboard just for a simple function.

IMHO#2 - I think anything to do with music, ie: RadioTime, Radio, Music etc,.....should have this Visuals button in the hidden menus.
......So I can navigate from one to the other without even touching my keyboard.
(Pandora too, but this still needs a hidden menu, which it don't). One can hope I guess. Maybe the Dev can add that in future update??

Just trying to help out a bit for others with my same situation.
Sorry,.... won't happen again gentlemen.

Cheers.

@RAWPWR :
Wasn´t in no meant as criticism (and I think you won´t take it as that)
Maybe @ltfearme can follow your suggestion and add it as a standard buttons to the screens you mentioned above

Not all man. LOL
If "Itfearme" adds the button(s) to all the hidden menus will just make this skin a real joy to use over others.(And I tried others)....
some are to over the top and too busy in your face. This is just right.
And that's why this is, and will always be my skin of choice.
Also, maybe Itfearme can also add a "Now Playing" button to all the hidden menus that don't sport that button too. Hmm.

Thank You.

Generally speaking, I think there should never be a need to have anything else than a remote to control MP - regardless of what you want to do.
