PNG Stars for the Songlist

Audiosoft,

Maybe could you allow PNG stars in the songlist instead of just poor gifs? eJukebox skins would look even better! :)

Thanks.

Pirk, ok it now works if you have star1.png star2.png star3.png and star4.png in the skin. also can have pickcountbar.png instead of gif. can grab updated 4.99.54 exe HERE. will note the change with .55. attached are PNG versions of your CrimsonSeven GIFs with 50% overall transparency i converted for testing. The attached stars are better but not great...really would benefit to come up with totally new ones since the original GIFs only had 256 colors.

Great Audiosoft! I'm going fishing new PNG stars..

Thanks a lot.

Ok guys, I'm coming with my new PNG stars! I think I managed to make new stars worthy of CrimsonSeven.
I've also added in the ZIP below, updated versions of the songlist.dis files. Please paste all the files in imagesCrimsonSeven.

Thanks Pirk! what about including colors.ini? Didn't you add the video window offsets to that? also wouldn't the stars be even better with a little overall transparency so that the gold blends with the background a little bit?

Oups.. you are right Audiosoft, I should have included color.ini for videos. Overall transparency? well I don't know because my background behind the stars is very dark.. I fear that would darken the stars to much. But I'll try!

Well, here is a new ZIP including the new PNG stars for my skin CrimsonSeven. So this time they are not 100% opaque, only 96% so 4% of transparency! :D If I use more transparency the stars become very dull.. over my black background.
I also added the color.ini file including the Video Offset parameters for a better placement of the video window over the now playing panel in CrimsonSeven.

Ok guys, here is another version of my PNG stars. I added some chrome behind the stars..
You can paste the new files from the ZIP below in your CrimsonSeven folder.
