inspired by the windows 7 taskbar and your need for a better album list pin! with different pngs we should be able to pull off some nice style effects for the buttons. btw there are 2 more under skin development

still prefer XP but those new glowing taskbar buttons are not bad!
win7 buttons somehow change the glow related to the mouse position on the button. ej not that complicated but these new PNG= can be just as good and
help ej button styles -without needing individual pngs for each button caption.

very interesting indeed, so in eJ the PNG is automatically resized to the button size?

yes re-sized so the source image can be any size/shape and it will scale it to the same size/shape as the button. that way can use same png for
different sized buttons.
Pirk have fun playing around with the new button pngs. let me know if you come up with any new ones. going to get some rest now. will post more pngs
and will be working on virtual keyboard buttons later

just tried the effect on other buttons. it works! but it's less spectacular than the artistlist buttons. I'll try to make a new png for the
albumlist bar, or maybe just change the color of my buttons.. Thanks again.
PS: The 'Reload Colors' option is welcome.. it's very handy!

Pirk your songlist is looking great!
BTW if you grayscale/desaturate that button png the original button colors in the ini should show through instead of the purple tint so can reuses the
same png if you like the shape. right now for ej remix only using the purple for the artistlist x and > buttons and grayed png for the a-z.

playlist" visor starts to work. Thanks.

nice Pirk! .896 is up and fixes Z and so scrollbuttons can use PNG=
...and here is a square one with black around the outside for different effect
also for quality the closer the png is in aspect to what the button is the better.

yes looking good Pirk! much better because no longer have to match editstarback.jpg to the np1.jpg backgrounds...
using \nowstars\ 0-10.png's instead has allot more flexibility!

Thanks Audiosoft. Nice neon on the virtual keyboard.. this time you don't went with the back of the spoon!
Could you desactivate the neon when eJ is not focused? Can we edit this neon PNG for non-blue skins? and also how to change the keys flashing color?
Thanks.
