The new control buttons that are in the current beta are really nice, but there are lots of jagged edges around the play button. I have edited the necesary images to make it look smoother. Simpy put the attached files in eJukebox's images directory.

Audiosoft I came across one small issue while doing this. If you use my new images, then open eJukebox and play a song everything looks ok. However when the timer goes past the half way mark and over the controls the black line it is traveling on raises up 1 or 2 pixels. I played around with the timeelapsed files hoping to lower the highlighted version of the bar by a few pixels but it didn't seem to help. How would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Here is a picture of the problem before and after the timer has crossed the masked area. Also if you make the now playing area as small as it goes the controls float up into the now playing area and looks wierd.

rllercstr7,

Your new mask is leaving too much of the non button parts of your images visible (the playtime slider). This is not a good idea because it will look odd when eJukebox's now playing width is reduced all the way. The mask needs to match the buttons shape at least when what is around/underneath might look different than what is in your images. Keep at it. It is possible to make the edges look smoother than in originals and have it work as good.

The issue comes in when you hover over the button and the image with the greenish highlighting is activated. My mask is exactly the same size as the buttons when the highlighting around the edges is activated. I can easilly make the mask the exact size of just the button with no highlighting, but then the higlighting is masked and you can't see it when you hover over or click on the button so the mask must be that big to use the highlighted edges effect. Is it possible to have ejukebox use a different mask when the controls are moved up because the window is too small to display them?

Yeah I ran into that highlighting issue when I was implementing the buttons. I had it working with a seperate mask image file for when it is highlighted but it was kind of annoying the way the button got bigger (covered up more of what is above and below) when you moused over it. I decided it looked highlighted enough with the same mask. The ring around the play/pause is not important since the images themeselves change color. You probally could make the highlighted play/pause button smaller so that the ring shows.

Hi Audiosoft,
I had an idea for player controls of a new shape; almost like an eyeball. Its a little different, but I think in a good way. When I created the flash version of the current controls you mentioned not wanting to tie up skinability by using an swf. Is there any way for me to try making something new and get them into eJukebox since they wouldn't be the same size as the old buttons etc? I posted a very rough 5 min sketch of what I had in mind. The middle is of course play and left and right are previous and next. If you would like me to try a certain color scheme let me know.
