    this is example of what i've been telling you:
    i have set 6xx controls on posx 400
    i have also set 4xx and 5xx controls to position on posx 400 (because this looks nicer, no gaps left since 6xx are not shown)
    2xx and 3xx are set on posx 550 (because 6xx has to be on front)..
    but now if i enter "p" mode, 6xx, 4xx and 5xx overlap (first two screenshots)..

    That is exactly why there is two set of pairs :) You will have to push the 4xx and 5xx to the right to make place to the 6xx's. Take a look at e.g. Blue3 to get inspiration. Great looking skin though!

    yeah that's what i had initially.. 2xx and 3xx controls aligned with 4xx and 5xx! but that didn't look right because the text was offset to right even if no timestamps was shown (in normal/wide view).. think first screenshot with all the text lines offset 150px right (there is a hole).. that's why i suggested you use 2xx and 3xx controls for "p" mode..

    and thanks for your skin comment :) but some more work is needed..

    Maybe this is not the right place, but i give it a try anyway...

    I use a gamepad to navigate in mediaportal. And i want to use the default skin.
    MyLyrics is such a great plugin, i wish i could enter it more easaly.

    Therfore i use shortcuter.

    Now i want to set a keyboard key to my gamepad. But i don't know how. I can put almost every action to about any button on the gamepad. But i haven't found a way to link a keyboard key...

    I found a function called "keypressed" in the directinput setting, when mapping actions to the gamepad. Next i can input 2 textboxes. But i can't find anywhere how to use this textboxes...

    I managed to get a shortcut to MyLyrics under key "1" on the keyboard. Now i only have to map that key to my gamepad...

    Can any of you help me with this?

    Exuse me for being such offtopic in this Lyrics board...

    Hello!

    I'm happy about that MyLyrics don't die! I installed them long time ago but this version was very buggy. But now, I'm interested in the new version... but before I install the PlugIn one essential question:

    Do the lyrics scroll automatically?

    Yes. Plain text can be set to scroll based on an adjustable speed, and LRC lyrics will highlight and scroll line by line aka Karoke style), assumming the time tags are correct in the LRC file.

    The new LRC database seems to have quite a few popular tracks already in it.

    There are two types of lyric files. LRC files have timestamps (so LRC enabled players can highlight them karaoke style), and plain text files (which can be set to scroll at a certain speed). So you don't HAVE to edit the lyric files if you are happy with simple scrolling, but if you want line by line highlighting then you'll want to convert your plain text lyric into an LRC with the editor.

    Both types of lyric can be downloaded by the plugin, and either stored in the plugin database, or written to the MP3 tag of the music file (or both), depending how you configure the plugin. There are many more sources of plain text lyrics than there are LRC lyrics. When I bulk updated my entire music database of about 10,000 songs, I got about a 10% hit on the LRC search.

    The plugin can also use any existing tags in the MP3 file too.

    If there is no LRC available, but there is a plain lyric text available, then yes, the idea is you can use the lyric editor to timestamp the file and convert it to an LRC.

    The good news is, if you do take the time to convert some plain text lyrics to LRC's and you check the option to upload them to the LRC finder database, then you'll share your work with the community ;)

    google autohotkey
    edit default script to add #installkeybdhook
    run default script
    double click on taskbar icon
    click view -> key history and script info
    press the gamepad key lots of times
    press F5 to refresh the info screen
    see if autohotkey recognises the gamepad
    if so you can program a script to map gamepad key press to '1' or any other key combo eg CTRL+ALT+1 etc..
