Title: Screensaver ShowSongInfo feature.
Post by: tba on April 22, 2006, 03:59:18 am

In my cab i have changed the NowPLaying display to 5 lines, but on the showsonginfo feature of the screensaver still has the 3 line display, which is not working properly on my low res display.  :banghead:

I am just wondering if this can be changed, i have searched every INI file 6 times!

Great program! :notworthy: I love how easy it is to change settings! i managed to set it up on my vertical cab in minutes, took me hours to set up mamewah for veretical!

OK, i guess that this can't be done and hope that this is updated in an upcoming release!

I'll just disable this feature for now.

Yes, although the songinfo display looks like Display1, it does not inherit its settings.  I need to revamp that, but for now all you can do is turn it on or off.

Thanks, i have it turned it off for now, but do like that feature. If it changed in the future I'd love to use it... but it isn't really that big of a deal... i imagine that there are much more important things to fix!

Chris,

I'm using a CD skin that I've made (2 up).   I was wondering if it would be possible, that instead of going to screen saver, DOScab could scroll to the album / CD that the current song is playing.    So if the screen is at album #100, and a song comes on on at #30,  have it scroll through 99, 98, 97, etc until it gets there?   I think I've seen some CD jukeboxes that when idle will flip the CD's around? 

All this would assume that the screen has been idle for a while, just like the screen saver.   Maybe if there was a long list to flip through (100 to 30 for instance),  max it out at say 20, and have it flip immediately to 50 and then flip through the remainder to 30?    Setting it to 1 instead of 20 would just change the screen immediately to the currently playing CD / song?
 
Just adding to my wish list :-)
