- Green was for Country or Country and Western
- Blue was for Blues or Rhythm and Blues or Soul
- Lavender was for Oldies
- Red lines on a white background were for miscellaneous or for the
unprinted blanks that the operators filled in by hand
- Red/pink was for Pop.
I also was toying with the idea of randomly having a handful of labels set in Courier no matter what the font is set for; it seems like on every jukebox there were one or two hand-typed labels. But I decided not to do this since a DOS system isn't going to have Courier and I can't include it in the distribution. This is a good time to note that the fonts in the distribution come from Ray Larabie of Larabie Fonts (http://www.larabiefonts.com/), who has generously made them available for free redistribution. He has many other fonts available, some for free and some full font families for purchase. The font I'm using us Blue Highway, which Ray designed to match the font used on highway signs. The real font used on old jukeboxes was usually Futura, but I can't distribute that, and Blue Highway is close.

Awesome juke box, any progress made on labels by genra/age, It would really make it pop to be able to highlight xmas songs this time of year. ;-) Oh, and do you disable the screensaver when running? It never seems to kick in while the jukebox is running. I'd like to make your jukebox the screen saver for my front end. It would be nice if I could have jukebox kick in as a screensaver in radio mode at some preset lower than full volume, and after a set number of minutes go to a black screen for powersavings till a button is hit.

Unfortunately, I have had almost no free time since Thanksgiving. I wish I had though of the Christmas issue earlier, though. Let me plow into this tonight and see if I can crank out genre labelling. It should theoretically be easy...

Man to quick on the reply, I had thought of another question.
