CUSTOM BUTTONS:
No, Sorry RAWRR. But thanks to Owns and RJ's skin improvements we can meld
these custom buttons down to a single .xml file with a few boilerplate
lines.
The call hierarchy will be like this:
skin:skin.xml -> ~/.mixxx/custom_buttons.xml > custom_button.xml
Content of custom_buttons.xml:
<Template>
<Template src="skin:custom_button.xml">
<SetVariable name="left">[Channel1],play</SetVariable>
<SetVariable name="right">[Channel1],stop</SetVariable>
</Template>
<Template src="skin:custom_button.xml">
<SetVariable name="left">[Channel2],play</SetVariable>
<SetVariable name="right">[Channel2],stop</SetVariable>
</Template>
</Template>
What else is needed:
* A shortcut for ~/.mixxx to find the custom_buttons.xml in the user space
on any OS
* A skin that features a custom region
* Templates for buttons and knobs "custom_button.xml"
* A pushbutton in preferences: "Edit custom buttons"
* A help file in our wiki and a link from Mixxx to it.
That sounds neat :-)
Maybe this attracts more user to go a step beyond and make a own custom
skin or just break out of the small schema of the /custom_buttons.xml I
have outlined above.
Any takers?

(for me) but doable.
RAWRR?
Kind regards,
Daniel
