Daniel, I'm not sure how many users it would explicitly attract. I just thought it was cool personally and it seemed kind of an obvious tool to include, like a configurable toolbar in a browser, which I almost can't imagine doing without in that setting.
I think I'm in the opposite space from you work-wise, the skin work would be easier for me, as long as it stayed relatively basic, really I'd just be hacking on current skin files. Also, I just hit up RJ to see if work needed to be done on the forums, though he hasn't replied yet. I'm not sure which work would be more useful and I shouldn't offer to work on both because I know I don't have the budget for that. ~RAWRR On Fri, 23 May 2014 08:05:12 +0200 "Daniel Schürmann" <dasch...@mixxx.org> wrote: >CUSTOM BUTTONS: > >No, Sorry RAWRR.
