DOSCab/WinCab Jukebox 3.0 Beta 1 Released
froggerman:
Is there any way to control when the font switches from the wide font to the condensed font? If is use label jb45lb09.jpg longer file names seem to fit perfectly, but if I use label jb45lb10.jpg The longer names overwrite the "HIT" by almost 2 letters. I am just wondering if I can get the display to be even better...

Not yet. Right now it makes assumtions that all labels look the same. I'm looking into giving you more control, but I don't know if I should do that now or wait for a later version.

Unless it is very simple, I would wait for a later version. This is not a big problem. Perhaps when you support the labels by song category. "OLDY", C'TRY, etc.

It is very not simple, but there are a lot more benefits than margin control. The idea would be that any place a string could be output that is related to a song, you would be able to supply a "format string" in the skin to decide just how the string should appear. That would really break things open: you would have so much control over DOSCab/WinCab's output that you would be able to create skins that act like media players, look like just about any jukebox, sort and work in different ways (like an album- or genre- based "classic" view), etc. That, along with planned programmable filters, amount to a big change. I think I'm talking myself into saving those for version 4....

Silver:

arn't you still beta releasing for v3..... ;-)
Anyway - can I ask if the sort-by-genre type option is planned to make an appearance in v3? or is that another v4 option?
