Hi there,
I'm creating some multi pano tours and I'd like to remove the control bar at bottom. Or at least be able to heavily modify/edit it. I've been scrubbing through the tour.xml file and the vtourskin.xml file but I can't find anything that's making sense. I found the controlbar_offset setting which moves the bar up and down, and the thumbs_opened setting which makes the thumb panel open or not when the tour loads. But that's about as far as I've found.

I don't mind the titles of the tour combined with the individual pano scenes. That I can keep. Considering there is a button to totally hide the bar I can only imagine there must be a way to easily hide this with a true/false sort of statement someplace.

thanks in advance.

thank you for your reply. So you're saying there is no way to just totally remove the control bar or thumb bar? What about removing the buttons on the bar....the left/right up/down arrows, the +/- zoom....the four little square box thing that opens the thumbs back up. All that must be called out down in the bottom of the vtourskin.xml file. However I see what appears to be code for mobile devices etc....that's why I was hoping for some global control over all of these items someplace.

Honestly my reason for wanting to remove them is, well, I think they're rather unnecessary, potentially confusing, and unsightly. I have hotspot arrows in my tour that you can use to navigate through. So all the gack at the bottom is redundant. To me it seems like something other users would want to have easier control over which is why I'm surprised I don't find more answers in the forum threads.

thanks again for any additional help

Hi thanks, I managed to find the lines in the XML needed to remove the thum bars at the bottom. I didn't want to just delete them, rather just hide them with a <!----> in case I wanted to turn them back on later.
