Additional notes:

1) If you hit the EQ button on the Equalizer you will see the line EQ: ON on the display. If you hit this button again Winamp shows the PreAmp value on the display instead of EQ: OFF. Also after a fresh start with Equalizer on you will see the Preamp value on the display. This is again one of those "not under my control" - things.

Everything is good, beautiful, excellent, but ... a lot. Equalizer, as a separate window - a controversial decision, I liked the old version. Finally, please complete the LED indicators on the main and separate windows. Remove the constantly burning start by -20, and add the initial (on / off) and peak (max) diodes. The version of the diodes is the best of version 1.5 - there they are more vivid and better visible, especially on the large indicator.

I've also found this annoying bug while working on Big Bento Modern. A PARTIAL fix you can implement is to limit the messages sent to the display to ONLY WHEN the EQ is visible*.

To achieve it, you can add the line below into the "System.onEqPreampChanged(int newvalue)" section, try it out:

code:


if (getScriptGroup().isVisible() == 1)

{    

    displayInfoII("showinfo",t);

}

*This makes a bit more sense to me, only show EQ related messages when the EQ is shown.


Also, for the EQ ON/OFF message, I used the below code and it works on my skin, but I don't know if it's applicable to your skin:

code:
System.onEqChanged (boolean newstatus)

{

    if (!newstatus)

    {

        SongTicker.sendAction("showinfo", "EQUALIZER: OFF", 0, 0, 0, 0);

    }

    else

    {

        SongTicker.sendAction("showinfo", "EQUALIZER: ON", 0, 0, 0, 0);    

    }

}

Hello Victhor and thanks for your ideas. Well this part above helped, although I had to change getScriptGroup() into getContainer("equalizer").getLayout("normal") since the Equalizer is no longer part of the Main Player container.

Regarding the second suggestion you make I cannot stop wondering because I saw the same behavior in the older versions of my skin when Equalizer was a part of the Main Player container and I still got the wrong message on the display: EQ: PREAMP: 0.0 DB instead of EQUALIZER: OFF. So sending a message from one container to another is apparently not the reason for that oddity.

[PeterK.]

I still do not know how to get rid of the EQ: PREAMP: 0.0dB text line on the display. But I know what causes it!

In the equalizer script there is a function called setEqBandValueNull(), in which all sliders/bands and the preAmp slider get the value 0 - they "jump" into the middle point of the tracks. And the line setEqPreAmp(0); makes Winamp display the decibel value on the display without any apparent reason. As soon as I remove the command I see the proper text line:



To be continued ...

[PeterK.]

Also when I choose a preset Winamp shows me the PreAmp value on the display. This would mean that every preset sets the band- and preAmp-value and makes Winamp show the last one (here preAmp) on the display.

Actually I forgot to mention those lines should go into equalizer.maki heh, so you can avoid forcing the script to look for the container and then the layout and then the script group.

I have a confession to make Vic. I have to withdraw what I said about successfully pasting the line ...isVisible==1..., which would prevent the appearance of the EQ: PREAMP: 0.0DB line on the display(s) while starting Winamp.

The more I think about your proposition the more I am confused. And the reason is, that it is regardless whether the Equalizer (as container/window) is running or not. The EQ: PREAMP: 0.0 DB text line appears on the display when the Equalizer (as feature) is on. Right? So what am I supposed to check if it is visible or not? Which group? Help me here ...
