Development Notes (All Skin Engine Additions Listed Here)

1.) If you only update one of the songlist.dis, songlist-large.dis, songlist-Xlarge.dis files makes sure to copy the contents of the file you modified into the others.

2.) It has come to our attention that the "searchbox.jpg" file when applied does not completely cover the search box....as v3.8 clips part of the image...leaving a couple pixels of blue on the bottom and right. We have fixed this in v3.83 so that it shows your entire "searchbox.jpg" image over the searchbox.

v3.83 Skin Engine Changes

v3.83 adds support for usage of filters in the nowplaying.dis file.

In addition, the following was added to the bottom of the nowplaying.dis file:

[AutoScroll]
Title=15
Artist=15
Album=15
Settings=WIDTH=100% DIRECTION=Left BEHAVIOR=SLIDE SCROLLAMOUNT=1 SCROLLDELAY=10

[ShowArtistOverTitle]
Enabled=0


Replace "15" with the number of characters the text must contain (v3.999 Update: when the now playing panel is at the minimum width) in order for scrolling to turn on. Change this number to a really high number such as "9999" or do not include it in the .dis to disable scrolling.

v3.85 Skin Engine Changes

The following has been added to colors.ini for v3.85.

:-ProgressBar Color Definitions-
:-----------------------------------

[ProgressBars]
AlbumListBack=16744576
AlbumListBar=12468792
PlayListBack=12468792
PlayListBar=16744576



:-Songlist History Forward and Back Button Positions (Pixels x 15)-
:------------------------------------------------------------------
[BackArrow]
XPos=480
YPos=705

[ForwardArrow]
XPos=900
YPos=705


If you want your skin to change the album list scrollbars from the windows default you may now add a file named albumlistscroll.dis with the following contents to your skin:


body {
scrollbar-face-color: #87B8EA;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #87B8EA;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #87B8EA;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #87B8EA;
scrollbar-track-color: #D6D6D6;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF;
}


You can now also add the above to the top of homeview.ini in v3.86 to change the scrollbar colors in the home view.


*Note: You must refresh the album list after changing skins in eJukebox to see skin changes on it.


In addition, v3.85 fixes some alignment issues where the interface background images did not line up correctly (leaving lines of color) pre v3.85.

v3.85 also fixes it so text and background colors specified in the nowplaying.dis and playlist.dis always get applied correctly.

v3.85, will automatically detected changes to SkinName.zip files in the Skins folder (i.e. new version of the same skin) and reload the skinname.zip contents to its images folder. That way you can update your skin and when users replace the old SkinName.zip it will use the updated Skin in eJukebox.

Audiosoft,

Thanks.

Hmm..

In nowplaying.dis you can use any of the filter: statements and have it distort the cover image in different ways or change alpha transparency.

For Example:

.albumimage {
filter: Wave(Add=0, Freq=5, LightStrength=20, Phase=20, Strength=20);
}

You can use any of the filters found here:
http://www.fred.net/dhark/demos/css/css_filter_examples.html
(only works in Internet Explorer)

Ah OK... your filter is very nice, but I think it is too much distorting for album images!

So in the .albumimage it seems it's only possible to specify a filter, not a background-color or background-image that would be only applied behind the album image?

Because I've put a red background in body {} and the highlight effect when the mouse pass over the album image is red too! I would like to get a highlight effect in white and only behind the album image (small or large..), while keeping my red background image. So that is not possible?

Thanks.

RE: Ah OK... your filter is very nice, but I think it is too much distorting for album images!

Ha. I totally agree. The only .albumimage filter worth using (other than possibly Gray and XRay) is Alpha. The others distore the image too much.

I am looking into if I can make it change the mouse over effect.

I've just tried your .cdcaser2. It works good, but it produce the opposite effect that I would like: my white background disappears when the mouse pass over the album image, so the album image is still highlighted in red..

You can try
div { background-color: #FF0000;}
instead and it will make the image fade to the color (or background image) when the mouse is over it. But it also makes a border show up around the cover image when not highlighted. You could probally get creative and use a gif with tranparent pixels on the border...but it may be complicated since you can not stretch the background image only tile or center it.

I've tried div { background-color: #FFFFFF;}:
The highlight effect is good (in white), but as you say the white border is.. in the way! That would be great if it could only appear behind the album image, so it would just highlight the album image. Thanks.

To get rid of the albumrule line (in eJukebox v4.3 later) in the songlist you can add the following:

[SongList]
DisableAlbumRule=1

to the bottom of songlist.dis to hide the albumrule lines. Do NOT put this inside .albumrule { }. Only add it to the end of the songlist.dis files right before /* END eJukebox Song List Display Definitions */
