Hi Chris,

I have tried to play with settings as per your suggestions and now I can have something more readable but the thing is that song name is not fully displayed when too long;

I would suggest to do also a cd2-1 skin which would allow a better display for low resolution arcade monitor (640x480 and lower)...

Yeah, I need to create lots and lots more skins...

A cd2-1.skn would look almost exactly like cd4-1.skn, except for these changes:

In [Titlestrips]:

Width=987

In [StripGrid]:

cols=1


That should be all you need to convert it to a two-album display with a really wide song title area.  (This is off the top of my head; I haven't tested it.)

Hi Chris,

Could you please specify where [StripeGrid] is located in the skn file as I do not find him ??? ???

It's [StripGrid], not [StripeGrid].  It's the section right after [Titlestrips], and just before all the icons. The whole StripGrid section looks like this:

[StripGrid]
x=18
y=21
rows=2
cols=2
rowspace=7
colspace=27
CoverArtSide=Left
CoverArtSpace=4

So 2 rows and 2 columns make up the 4 albums you see; you're reducing this to 2 rows in 1 column.  rowspace and colspace are the size of the gap between rows and columns, CoverArtSide is which side of the titlecard/art pair the album art appears on, and CoverArtSpace is the gap between the art and the title card.
