POPCASE

Hi Guys,

What is the maximum size (dimensions) the POPCASE.png graphic can be?

Thanks

The popcase.png can be any dimensions but right now if you make it bigger you will have to keep the hole for the cover art near the top left on the png. If needed I will add a popcase.ini to allow you to set the position of the cover art area relative to your popcase.png.

I kind of thought that should be the case, but I was working on an olympics themed one with the rings, but it didn't display the whole graphic. With it being quite long and narrow it only displayed the first bit, around about the size of the original pop case.

It's no big deal. I have binned it now anyway as the olympics are almost over!

the popcase.ini would be handy though!

I have just attempted another one using a diffirent graphic just to see if it worked, but still the same outcome - Iwill post the screenshots -

here is the popcase.png (640 X 313)-

If you drag the popup out from the bottom right corner you should see the rest of the png. It will work ok now if you make the space for the cover art in the png near the top left. I will try to add an ini so you can make the art show in a different position under the png.

Ok there was a limit that was making it so you could not see all of the png. I have upped the limit to the screen size. So you will soon be able to use any size/shape popcase.png. You will also be able to add a layout.ini file to the albumpop folder to set the position of the cover within the png. I tested with your graphic and the layout.ini that will work with yours is:
[CoverPos]
X=449
Y=143

Hi Audiosoft. I have been away for a couple of days and not had a chance to look at this. I will try pulling the pop case out and see if that helps.

looking forward to the layout.ini file. the graphic i used here was just a quick mock up to demonstrate the issue, so I won't actually be using that one.
