How to broaden the mcp-strips with Walter?

set mcp.size [105 222] 105 is the width in this example.

Hi Mark, Thank you :) Now another question has arisen... How can I make it possible, that I can compress or expand the width of single mcp-strips, like we can do it with the length of the strips?

I don't know of a way to do that other than a custom layout.

And another question: How can I place the tcp.volume.label to the very left edge of the tcp? I tried all parameters in this code: "set tcp.volume.label [12 57 70 30 0 0 0 0]" except the last 4 zeros, but with no success!

I don't know which theme you're modding, but in theory if you change the 12 to 0, it should work. Also, there is an entry for the margin, so the first number in that should be 0 as well.

With these settings: set tcp.volume.label.margin [0 0 0 0 0] set tcp.volume.label [0 67 60 20 0 0 0 0] I get this:

I'm out of ideas. In theory, it should have worked. What would happen if you plugged in the numbers from your "trackidx" label? It's where you want your volume label, right?

Mark, I'm at the very beginning, I don't even know the "trackidx label". The code I have in the rtconfig is very small, I just copied and pasted things from other themes and experimented with it...mostly with success. The Volume label thing started, cause i'm using bigger fonts and so I wanted to split Volume_label and pan label...to move the volume_label to the very left of the tcp is just an experiment for learning!

I see. What happens if you insert a semicolon at the beginning of the volume label code to "comment it out"? In theory, the volume label should disappear. If it doesn't, that tells us some other line of code somewhere is interfering with what you want to do. Also, did you start the code block with "clear tcp.*"?

Mark, here is all the code, which is in the rtconfig: use_pngs 1 tcp_showborders 0 mcp_showborders 0 tcp_vupeakwidth 2 mcp_vupeakheight 4 mcp_mastervupeakheight 4 mcp_altmeterpos 0 use_overlays 1 transport_showborders 1 tcp_vol_zeroline 85000000 tcp_pan_zeroline 67000000 mcp_vol_zeroline 85000000 mcp_pan_zeroline 67000000 trans_speed_zeroline 99999999 ;---------------------------------- clear trans.* set trans.size [760 44] set trans.size.minmax [760 44 1076 44] set trans.size.dockedheight [40] set trans.rew [370 1 40 40] set trans.play [420 1 40 40] set trans.pause [470 1 40 40] set trans.stop [520 1 40 40] set trans.fwd [570 1 40 40] set trans.rec [620 1 40 40] set trans.repeat [670 1 40 40] set trans.automode [720 1 40 40] set trans.bpm.tap [780 1 40 40] set trans.bpm.edit [830 1 40 40] set trans.status [1245 5 296 34] set trans.status.margin [20 5 20 6 0.5] set trans.status.color [0 0 0] set trans.curtimesig trans_flags&4 w>790 [880 6 40 32] set trans.sel w>860 [940 6 260 32] set trans.sel.margin [6 0 0 0 0] set trans.rate.fader ?trans_flags&2 w>1080 [10 5 190 32] set trans.rate ?trans_flags&2 w>1281 [220 5 88 32] set trans.rate.margin [6 0 0 0 0] set mcp.volume.label [2 176 64 10 0 1 0 1] set mcp.volume [7 45 10 130 0 0 0 1] set mcp.pan [0 186 72 16 0 1 0 1] set mcp.pan.label [11 200 64 14 0 1 0 1] set tcp.pan.label [187 25 64 16 0 0 0 0] ( set tcp.pan.label.color [1 0 0] ) set tcp.volume.label.margin [0 0 0 0 0] set tcp.volume.label [2 67 60 20 0 0 0 0] (set mcp.size [105 222])
