If you know how to make a fader slider, then all you need to do is change the settings in DX to make it an EQ slider. It's all right there in DX.

https://forums.wincustomize.com/368821    Never got an answer.

 

As for making a slider, no script involved. It's all in DX.

 

Instructions forthcoming.

I'm not real good at tutorials, but here is trying.

 

Just know that the slider button has to be as wide as the background. If there is transparency needed around the button, magic pink will be necessary, else it'll show up white.

I usually place the button on the background, (if it is round) then crop it out, so thet the blank sections of the round part are filled with the background, giving the appearance of transparency, without having to deal with magic pink....hate the stuff...ugh.

 

Anyway, if you need further help, maybe a voice messenger or phone call would be best.

as for the mediaplayer starting

Something to try: Load the desktop, and close/stop MP. Save the theme. Unload DX. Go clear out the current theme cache then reload the theme. see if that helps.
