Experimental skinning...
Pirk - 10-24-2010 at 04:24 PM

Here is what i'm currently experimenting for ejukebox:
don't be too exited, the genre column is only experimental... it does not work good in all cases. however it is not made in photoshop!

ah very nice i like the idea!
would it work if it only displayed the genre for the first song in each album? or just the very first genre?

well my problem is with positioning. until now all genres are repeated at the same place! i would like it does not repeat a genre and it positions each "new" genre in front of its first song. thanks.

if you are interested by the code, here it is: when i say it's experimental.. :D

.genre
{
font-weight:400;
font-size:10px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
letter-spacing:0px;
text-decoration:none;
padding-right:0;
padding-top:2px;
padding-bottom:2px;
cursor: pointer;
background-color:#000;
text-align:center;
background-position:50% 47%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
color: hsla(192,99%,58%,0.085);
background:transparent;
border-color:#C4D7FF #153660 #e8eff9;
border-style:inset solid;
border-width:0;

zoom:1000%;
position: absolute;
left: -1682%;
top: 30px;
writing-mode: tb-rl;

}

problem is if it did position the genre on the first song from each album they would still overlap correct?
maybe it should only work when viewing a single album?

interesting...so is it writing-mode: tb-rl; that makes is vertical?

yes tb-rl makes the text vertical. and yes it would still overlap if the genre is too long. i tried overflow: hidden; no success. but i think that could work possibly.

i think maybe it should only work when viewing a Single Genre.
now i use position: fixed; instead of absolute, so the genre doesn't move when you scroll the songlist:

zoom:1000%;
position: fixed;
left: -1682%;
top: 10px;
writing-mode: tb-rl;

PS: and i think we could also do the same thing for the Year Column in case of Single Year.
