Using the NowPlaying plugin I want to make the background image of the skin invisible when nothing is playing. I've learned how to substitute the tags with nothing but not how to remove the background. Can someone help me?
Additionally in the same vein; I have added a "I" in my skin between Position and Duration. Can I make that go away as well when nothing is playing?
thnx!

Re: Substitute Background & Text when nothing is playing
I probably would add the following options to the measure which returns the title:
I hope you can figure out what the [MeterBackground] and [MeterTitle] meters want to be.
Code: Select all
IfMatch=^$
IfMatchAction=[!HideMeter "MeterBackground"][!HideMeter "MeterTitle"]
IfNotMatchAction=[!ShowMeter "MeterBackground"][!ShowMeter "MeterTitle"]

To which measure do I add this?
I'm going off an existing skin that I downloaded and changed up to suit my needs. This skin has a lot of different measures.

As I said, to the measure which returns the title. It's a NowPlayign plugin measure (it has to have the Measure=Plugin and Plugin=NowPlaying options).Nachtschade wrote:To which measure do I add this?

If you don't know how to identify it, please post the whole code of your skin.

Re: Substitute Background & Text when nothing is playing
I actually figured it out.
I didn't read "to the measure which returns the title" for how I should read it. I actually did put it under the right measure but it didn't work. I figured that was because it should have gone somewhere else. However I just noticed that I used [!HideMeter "CoverBackground"] whereas the measure for the background is called "MCoverBackground". Adding the "M" has fixed it.
So, thank you very much.
