Turning off text in now playing screen? (1 Viewer)

[2BitSculptor]

I adjusted the MyMusicPlayingNowInfos.xml for my OldEyes variant of DWHD so it fits without crowding. I now have the issue of text from the CD animation overlaying the Album Information box on track change. I've tried a few "!" visibility ideas in the MyMusicPlayingNowAnimation.xml, but haven't found the one that works. I just need to get the text not to display when the Album-Information button is focused, during the animation sequence.

Oh, also, I'd like to make visible the Playing Next info in the bottom left corner when the Album Info box is showing. It was made invisible when the info box was below the button box. It should remain invisible when the Artist Info and Lyrics boxes are displayed.

Thanks for any assistance.

I compromised. I could not find an acceptable condition/boolean to fix the ideas I mentioned.

Which do you like better? Both avoid overlaying text issues.

I'm leaning toward this one, with the current album cover added. ... The Playing Next info is shown in the usual conditions.

Edit: ... I could have duplicated the Playing Next info and added it to the Album Information section and changed the visibility condition, but it wouldn't have fixed my initial Animation text issue.

Sorry to find this thread a bit late
The easiest way to not show that text inside the animation, just comment out the respective lines in MyMusicPlayingNowAnimation.xml, beginning with line 480 <!-- Inside Text: Title, Artist, Album --> down to line 630

Thanks for the reply. I knew how to turn it off completely. I was looking for a way to turn it off conditionally, eg., only when the large Album Information box was in the way. I could not discover the boolean function that did that. I find my compromise #3 satisfactory. The animation text is nice touch, and I wanted to keep it, even though it is too small to always read.

Have you tried one of these two:

<visible>!Control.HasFocus(123)</visible>

<visible>control.isvisible(456)</visible>

The first one hides something, when the button with <id>123</id> is highlighted, the second one shows something when <id>456</id> is also visible.

Thanks. I understand those boolean concepts, and tried several things. But it's the combination with the present visibility code that I couldn't resolve to my satisfaction. Besides, I like my last compromise design.

My bad, I misunderstood your post then

Yeah, these things can get complicated really quickly. I remember scrapping some of my skin-improvement-ideas because I couldn't get these cross-dependencies sorted out.
