' To eliminate MonkeyRok becoming wider after each restart of MM
  Call Script.RegisterEvent(SDB,"OnShutdown","HideContextPanel")

I solved the problem by closing MR with an OnShutdown event. The player width stays constant on restart :)

[code]' To eliminate MonkeyRok becoming wider after each restart of MM
Call Script.RegisterEvent(SDB,"OnShutdown","HideContextPanel")[/code]

Thanks for confirming my problem and thanks for trying. :)

I have tested your small player but you didn't provide your MonkeyRok skin.
Anyway, I experienced the same problem with any MR skin I have tested.
Player is getting wider by 4 pixels each time MM is restarted.
After playing with different settings, I just can't tell where the problem is.

Hi,

Sorry for the bump. Does anyone have any idea about my question below?

[quote="LikeMM"]Hi,

Is it possible to set the width of the MR persistent panel say, 30 seconds after starting up MM. I tried to debug my small player but nothing worked.

If I can control the width after MM is done with all start-up actions, I can fix the 'growth' problem indirectly.[/quote]

Hi Eyal,

I spent a lot of time comparing skins. I even copied Agora small player, tried to replace images and make it work but the same issue surfaced. :(

See if you can help me:

thanks.

LikeMM, have you try to compare both players to see what is different?
If it's working with Agora means something is wrong or missing with your player.

Maybe you can upload your player somewhere so we can test it? It will be easier to find out this way.

Hi LikeMM,

The line [color=#008040][b]Size=350,25[/b][/color] should not be the size you want the player to display, but it indicates to MM what is the original size of the designed skin. It must be the same size specified in the player.mskn. MM needs this to know how to display objects on the skin and calculate relative positions when the skin is resized.
The display size is calculated when MM runs, it corresponds to the vertical container panel.

[quote="LikeMM"]my player, my MonkeyRk - Right side panel keeps growing towards left with every close/open of MM
my player only - no growth
my monkeyrok only - no growth

Agora + my monkeyrok - no growth

This points to the problem: it only happens with [color=#0000FF]My Player + My MonkeyRk[/color], so there's something working wrong with the interaction between them.

Hope it helps point to the problem.

InitWidth=388 

Hi DreadM,

The variables:
Player: my player, your Agora
MonkeyRok: My mod version of MonkeyRok,trixmoto's original version

Results:
my player, my MonkeyRk - Right side panel keeps growing towards left with every close/open of MM
my player only - no growth
my monkeyrok only - no growth

Agora + my monkeyrok - no growth
my player + trixmoto's original monkeyrok - no growth.

Somehow, my player and my modified MonkeyRok interact with each other. This MediaMonkey.ini file entry keeps increasing:
[code]InitWidth=388 [/code]

It started at 350. Even if I close MM, manually change this entry to 350 and then restart MM, the player somehow is wider than 388. Something is being remembered somewhere else. Probably in registry.

This is now beyond me :(

Thanks for the help.

PS: my comment about 1,0,1,0 being important is a note to myself. I didn't want to grow the player vertically.

Greetings

Did you definate a strech area in the Player.mskn ?
and wher you found this: ;1,0,1,0 above is important.This i never see in a ini file ?

I make also a small player,maybe you look inside and found something that help's you [url=http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=31546&p=176757&hilit=Agora#p176746]Agora slim small Player[/url]

DreadM,

Thanks for stopping to reply :)

I set the player width to 350pixels. I have this in the player.ini file:
[code]
[PlayerSkin]
EngineVersion=100
Resizable=1,0,1,0
;1,0,1,0 above is important.
Pos=0,0
Size=350,25
Transperent=0

DockLock=0
RemoveAllBordersAround=1[/code]

MM3 is closed. I start it and I see the player width is ~350 pixels. I close MM3 and open it again, the width of the player is around 355 pixels. I close it and open it again, the player width is around 360 pixels. This is how my small player sits above MnkeyRok on the right side of MM3.

I would not have noticed but for the fact that my other program windows started to obscure MonkeyRok view. Normally when I open other programs I leave the MM3 small player and MonkeyRok visible, as I listen to the songs and follow the lyric in MonkeyRk. I thought that Windows XP was incorrectly opening the Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. on top of MonkeyRok but later realized that the small player was not keeping the width that I specified in the ini file. If I close the player and then repeated close and open MM3, the width of MonkeyRok panel does not change.

This is not a big deal, but I must know the reason if you know what I mean ;) I can't sleep otherwise!

Sorry, but don't understand your question.

Thanks DreadM.

I have a follow up question. The small player keeps growing by 4 pixels width-wise each time I close MM and restart. I compared the skin with others' skins using themeeditor7. Nothing seems to be obviously wrong. Any idea?

Greetings

intresting,but i think it's not possible .
like i know you can just dock the player in the windows;left/right /middle not in controll/menu Bar .

Hi,

I put together a small player (icons from WMP11 skin. thanks) and positioned it above MonkeyRok. See image below.

[url=http://img23.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smallplayermi3.jpg][img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4232/smallplayermi3.th.jpg[/img][/url]

My question is this: How can I make the player occupy the empty part of the menu bar below the min/max/close buttons? What do I need to change in the Theme.mskn?

I am thinking of getting a netbook, where vertical space is limited and I have lot of stuff going on in MonkeyRok.

thanks.
