Just thought I would share my "work in progress".

Does anyone know what the buttons at the top are called?

Looking good! :D

You can change the colors and style of the buttons at the top under
[MainButtons] in colors.ini

Nice. :) I know some black metallers that would love that skin.

Nice colors and fonts. Looks very.. slick :D
Have you skinned the nowplaying and playlist as well?

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Don't be fooled by the screen shot: it's not a death metal skin by any means! I could have shown you a page with Natalie Imbruglia!

Just had a look in colours.ini - will sort out.

I was impressed with the artic skin (cheers junk and fishy), especially by the fact that it looked so different to the standard one. I dislike the blue that comes with XP (I go silver) and the original skin is too much like that. I want to create a skin with just shades of grey and tones of red.

I have changed the artist list and now playing sections. I have a very messy skin with a couple of styles on it - which I will use to create 2 skins and post up. Then you can advise users to change maybe just the gele.jpg image to customise the player. I love all that stylesheet stuff, but it's not to everyone's taste.

Q: What are all these new updates for? I don't like downloading stuff to my machine without knowing why. Could be a clever Trojan or summat :)

Q: Excuse my ignorance: HTPC?

A list of changes in the latest eJukebox updates is located at: http://www.audiosoft.net under "eJukebox Updates", so you can see what has changed since your current version. Because you are developing a skin you should upgade to the latest version, currently v3.86, as it contains some updates to the skinning engine.

HTPC stands for Home Theater PC...usually just a computer hooked up to a TV.

Thanks for coming back so soon.

Just checked the updates. Does the ability to guess tags come from my hassles with tags? (well, not just mine, obviously). 3.86? Is there a 4.0 due soon?

HTPC. My PC fan is too loud. I've replaced it but no joy. Does anyone know of any silent coolers?

Will crack on with skinning...

SILENT BREEZE 462 II is a silent cooler if you got a socket A AMD cpu, like I do. Runs on 19 db at the lowest, and gives decent cooling up to XP3000+... If you want total silence, a water cooling system could be the way to go. Gives some nice overclocking possibilities as well :)
