"Who's Up Next" Show Screen Temp

From kJams Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Show Screen that automatically comes up between songs can be turned on/off by going to:

Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Show Rotation at End of Song


For some, the screen comes up too late and stays too long, cutting into the next song. You can help this a lot by making sure Edit → Preferences → General → Skip Silence at Start of Song is turned OFF. If you still need more time, you can adjust when it comes up and how long it stays up. To do this, go to your secret preferences file and find these: davequestion: Where is the secret preferences file?

<key>Show Rotation when less than time remaining (seconds)</key> <real>3</real>
<key>Show Rotation Duration (seconds)</key> <real>10</real>


The first preference shows the time in seconds (counting back from the end of the song) when the Show Screen is displayed. To display the screen sooner, increase the number of seconds. For example, change the 3 to a 4.

The second preference shows the duration of the Show Screen, or the time in seconds that it will remain up. To shorten the display time, pick a lower number. For example, change the 10 to an 8.

Note that the time changes are cumulative. In the above example, the time before the next song starts is now increased by 3 seconds. You pick up 1 second by displaying the Show Screen sooner, and another 2 more seconds by displaying the screen for a shorter duration.
