A background image for the songlist Bottom..

Audiosoft,

That would be great if you can allow a "songlistbottom.png" image which fills the unused space remaining at the bottom of the songlist, when the carousel is used or the albumlist is pinned.. I think that using a nice png transparency effect or by masking the album images, the songlist bottom could look a lot better, and so our skins would be improved!

Thanks!

PS: What you think of my new songlist? ;)

Why not just put a filter on the songlist body so the background image fades out?

body {


filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled='true', startColorstr=#550000FF, endColorstr=#000000, GradientType=0) ;


}

Because that reduce the quality of the png transparency effect on the songlist..

Audiosoft - 2-25-2007 at 10:44 PM

Reduces the quality? Looks better to me. Do you mean it is not bright enough at the top?
Try changing the color(s) in the filter.

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(enabled='true', startColorstr=#11FFFFFF, endColorstr=#000000, GradientType=0);

Yeah.. With the gradient filter maybe some texts are better, but the background album images stand out less..

OK.. Maybe could you add another linked window - with just a png image in it.. - which appears under the songlist when the albumlist is closed? We could put a eJukebox logo in it or maybe a textured drawing..

OK put songlistbot.png in your skin and it will work with the new attached ejukebox.exe. It will stretch songlistbot.png over the remaining space under the songlist.

BTW This exe is also the first to fix a very long standing GDI resource leak cause by some of the eJukebox button styles.

Oh yeah and please post your 'songlistbot.png' so I can give it a try.

To install replace attached ejukebox.exe over C:Program FileseJukeboxejukebox.exe


NOTE: v4.3 Beta 4 is now available here:

THANKS Audiosoft! That works perfectly!! :cool:

Here is the PNG: It's just a first try..

Which height do you recommend for this image? Mine is 800x600.

Unless something comes up.. I'll post my skin tomorrow guys!! :D

Your Welcome! It is a nice effect! :o
I have updated the exe again to make it also show the songlistbot.png correctly when the album list is pinned and when you drag the albumlist header up and down.

Great Audiosoft, sometimes you update ejukebox more quickly than I reply to your posts.. :D That works good with the Albumlist pinned too!

Maybe it remains just a little inconvenience with the songlist:
The songlist page is always a bit more height than necessary, even when there is no need of the vertical scrolling bar, so it scrolls a few pixels which look bad. I guess you made that to always have the vertical scrolling bar.. but I don't think that is really necessary, especially with the scrolling buttons!
So if you could remove this unnecessary vertical scrolling in the songlist..

Thanks.

Pirk...I have removed the unnecessary vertical scrolling in the songlist and updated the ejukebox.exe download in the above post to v4.3 beta 2! :o

Pirk - 2-26-2007 at 11:34 AM

OK Audiosoft, it's better like that.. :)

Thanks a lot!
