Possibility to use two fonts on title strips, stars, asterisks, and colors

[LHUPA]

Usually on any jukebox title strip, the artist font is quite different of titles fonts. Normally, the font used for the artist is Time New Roman or Trad Bedeo and the title font Futura Light or bold BT. I want to know with the default skin text if we can use two different fonts for title strips as a real one? It has a section in "[FONTS]" section named "Artist Font" I have put a font in this section of the skin text but nothing has come! The font still the same for all the title stip! I want tu put the artist name between stars or asterisks as usual without naming the music files with them! How we can add asterisks or stars with the skin text? The next edition of WINCAB will use title strip of any model and colors? I search a manner to use a lot of title strip models and colors for more realistic we will can in the next edition?

Thank you!

The [Fonts] section you see is part of an unfinished feature to allow you to set different fonts for the artist; it doesn't do anything yet, and will probably completely change by the time it's implemented (I forgot to take the test code out of the default skin).  As far as asterisks, start. and strip colors:  The next major release (4.0) will allow you to do these sorts of things, including changing the strip colors for different song genres.  So it's coming!  After I get the touchscreen fixed and 3.0b12 out this weekend, I'll get started on these next-level features.

Thank you very much Chris for your positive feedback!!! I wait for your 4.0 with satisfaction! It will be an accomplishment!

OK, these are (mostly) fixed; I don't think CD disc numbers are right yet.  But you can specify the different fonts for artist, and you can specify the symbol used for quotes, so you can make the quote symbol a star or asterisk or whatever is in the font.  Hopefully I'll have the update in place tonight.
