I have a small touchscreen that I'd like to use in a jukebox project.   The problem is that it's only 7" diagonal and widescreen to boot.   I don't think it's big enough to really be useful with any jukebox software I've seen, because the albums and text would all be so small.

If I'm wrong, and anybody out there is using a tiny touchscreen like this for their juke, let me know.

What I was thinking was maybe trying to use the touchscreen as the controller (no mouse, keyboard or trackball) and another screen as the 'display'.   I know that some of the jukebox software will support dual monitors, but are there any where one monitor is strictly used for the controls and the 2nd monitor will display the album and song choices?

Thanks

Look on wiki: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Jukebox_Software

MultiJuke might been used, if your widescreen monitor have the correct pixel ratio (like 800x480, if it a 16:9 format). It does not support dual screen and videos (only cdg).

Freebox might been used, since a user have used it with 7" but it was not a widescreen format. Barcrest, have some users used Freebox with a widesscreen skin?

I have 2 people running it with a 7 liliput touchscreen and niether of them seem to have any problems using it. In the worst case scenario you could always make your own skin to make the buttons larger the skintool is included. I think Kizer and Dragnit are both using the default skin on their 7" screens.

im also using freebox on my 8" screen ... looks perfect.  widescreen might be a bit of a hassle, since the skins are designed for 800x600...but as barry said, you could just create your own w/ the skin tool.

Yep, Im installing a 7-inch in my Jeep for navigation and well playing tunes. In this photo I have my 15-inch in my stand up Juke and my 7-inch I was testing for my Jeep.



I haven't really toyed with the skins or much in Freebox on my 7-inch because I haven't as of yet. ;)

A lot of jukebox software has kiosk software that features a skin with larger buttons, also (and I'm thinking of silverjuke) you can select font size, column width, all that to adjust to your monitor size.
