I am married you know  :P  ............ however I still have 8 albums from Motley Crue  :applaud:
Knievel:

Guess you didn't marry a Metal Queen like me. ;)

Seriously though, I'd sleep easier if you'd move that Reba onto a separate drive.


So I'm just trying out the software and it looks pretty nice.
But why is the black/blue skin not editable? I just want to change the font for cripes sake. :)

Well, I wanted to make sure everyone had one default(grey) skin and one colored skin (BlackAndBlue) which they did not delete by accident.

However, you can do what you want very easily .....

The "Media page" has it's own BlackAndBlue skin and the "Albums/Search page" has it's own BlackAndBlue skin as well.   You will notice in the install directory that there is a "skins" directory which has subdirectories called "mediaMenu" and "albumsMenu".  Inside each of these subdirectories you will notice each skin has it's own directory which has all the information related to the skin.  Basically, the "mediaMenu" directory holds all of the Media page skins and the "albumsMenu" directory holds all of the Albums/Search page skins.

What you want to do is to go into the mediaMenu directory and copy the entire BlackAndBlue folder to a new folder name (ex: MyBlackAndBlue folder) and inside this new folder rename the 3 files (ie: BlackAndBlue.fnt, BlackAndBlue.jpg and BlackAndBlue.skn) to your new skin name (ie: MyBlackAndBlue.fnt, MyBlackAndBlue.jpg and MyBlackAndBlue.skn).   Do the same thing in the albumsMenu directory.   This basically means you now have a new skin called "MyBlackAndBlue", so when you start the jukebox, go into the Options/Skin menu and apply the "MyBlackAndBlue" skin for the "Media Page" skin location.  Do the same thing for the "Albums/Search Page" skin location.    Then edit the skin how you would like .....

PS:  Actually, you do not have to apply the skin to edit it .....

I tried coding up switching the resolution automatically and it never really worked perfectly, and it most likely will get confused when dual monitors are connected so I am now officially scared from trying to put this functionality into the software.   I really do not want to mess up people's resolutions for them, I would rather they do that themselves .... :P    Anyway, do not think this would be a safe enhancement for me at this time.    Now, I would still recommend to try the software out to see if you like it and perhaps you can figure out another way to switch the resolution locally before executing my app.  Sorry   :dunno

I recently bouhgt an 18" touchscreen monitor and I love it.  If a touchscreen is within the budget, I more than recommend buying one for a jukebox.   Nothing is better than people going up to the screen and simply touching it to make requests.

Well the plan was to use all my spare buttons and Joysticks on the Jukebox..

You are Evil... Now I think I may invest in touch technology   >:D

Just tell your wife the jukebox is for her.   Put a lot of Reba songs on it .. or perhaps being from down under she prefers Abba   :laugh2:
