Resolume Forum

Hello all,

now that I'm mostly using Avenue (Grand VJ only via Syphon for non-supported video formats) / love being able to use double outputs ...

... I more & more am frustrated by the current skin:

* lack of contrast (scrollbars grey on black??)
* crucial click areas (kill layer; whole-column trigger) too small
* can only get about 4 layers in one view; have to vertically scroll for the 5th
* etc.

Yes, I do also use TouchOSC on an Android tablet;
plus keyboard shortcuts,
plus even VNC on the tablet (with or without the nice iDisplay app)

I don't really find TouchOSC so practical, because I keep adapting RA-templates, affecting the TouchOSC template.
Using VNC on a TouchScreen is the best for me, however for that several click areas are way too small.

The questions:
- am I missing something? Can I already tweak the skin / GUI?
- will Resolume improve the skin / deliver several (improved) skins users can choose from
- and/or will Resolume open up the skin, enabling users to modify it for themselves (xml etc.)
An obvious example for a totally skinnable and somewhat-related product would be VirtualDJ.

Thanks,
best,
Arie

Really ? No one have an answer? "Can't be done" would even be informative.
Any support, to promote this request to the developers?

I would love to control RA on a touchscreen (take laptop/MBP, hook up this USB-monitor with touchscreen /Mimo Magic Touch/ and control RA like that). IF ONLY those crucial click (touch) areas wouldn't be so abnormally small ...

You maybe get no answer because it already had been discussed a couple of times....and no one has the energy to reply again with "use the search function"

As far as I know there are no plans for a customisable GUI....But there are some guys including me who would like to have a possibility to f*** up the GUI... . But to be realistic: There are much more important things to work on for the Resolume team.

For creating custom touch control surfaces for any software, take a look at Emulator.

Thx guys.
I guess you mean https://smithsonmartin.com/products/emulator-pro/
(just mentioning "Emulator" is not really helpful).

Well I don't know the dev agenda, but claiming that doing anything (either via Prefs or a full-fledged user-skinnable approach like Virtual DJ has had for 10 years already) on a gray on black (??) GUI with the tiniest click/touch areas for vital things and .... is not important enough ... I beg to differ.

That's why (in hindsight, I admit) not using Search enough, and starting this topic, is justified as opposed to not bringing it up at all, because "it will never happen anyway". Something should! happen, I am still convinced.

Kind regards,
Arie

Emulator ... if I picked up the right one ... of no use to me: Windows-only, even for Tablets (no iOS, no Android).
No mention of something like OSC over Wifi.
I already use TouchOSC and its editor on Android tablet, which works with RA.
Still, having VNC / RDP on Tablet with the actual RA showing (and those bigger touch areas ) would be soooo much easier. Yes I like it lazy

Continuing to read about Emulator ... confusing website. Seems like there used to be a non-Pro version, for Mac OS. No longer on the site. Mention of Android, but can't find it in Google Play. Looks great, but it's unclear what they currently offer for Mac and Android tablet. https://smithsonmartin.com/support/downloads/
