I seriously dislike the "mouseover" handler on the cover image in the "now playing" section. Is there a way to disable that feature and just leave the front cover there? If not, I would suggest this as a new menu option...

Cheers,
Bru

you can add this to the end of the skin's nowplaying.dis (Tools->Skin name->Now Playing) to set filters for the now playing cover.

[CoverFilter]
Normal=Alpha(Opacity=100)Shadow(Direction=130)
Hi=Alpha(Opacity=100)
Click=Alpha(Opacity=65)


if that is no help then what version of Windows, EJukebox and which skin?

if you want to stop background animations then see the top of Tools->Skin name->Colors

Audiosoft,

Is there a way to do the same thing for the "coversmall" images in the Playlist ?

I would like more opacity when no mouse over the playlist (normal). Could i add a filter somewhere which would overload the default semi-transparent effect?
I already tried in #coversmall{opacity:1;}, but no success!

Maybe the opacity of the small images can only be changed from [coversmall]... after you allowed it like for the nowplaying cover?

Thanks.

Pirk try #coversmall:hover { opacity: 0.5;}
does that work?

Audiosoft still not working

well, in fact i want to change coverbig, but same problem... i tried #coverbig:link {opacity: 1;} and still no change. the image opacity is still 50% before i mouse over my playlist:

maybe? #coverbig src {opacity: 1;}

src in the css? no success

Hmm, don't get it...

I added the code to the end of nowplaying.dis for the currently loaded skin (A5VinylMatrix) and reloaded it, the displayed front cover in now playing still changes when I mouse over it. No idea what it tries to load, but it displays the browser's default "image not found" icon, which looks really crappy. I just want the front cover to stay there, no matter what...

no? worked fine in old versions, can't you just add a "disable" option for this feature??? cuz it seriously sucks when there are no back covers...

Bru, that is odd EJ must think there is a back cover jpg image but there is none. i will look into this and add an option to disable to back cover detection if i can't figure out what is going wrong.

the missing image always shows up when you mouse over the now playing cover or just sometimes?

It happens for all my mp3s, although I do pass all through Mp3tag v.2.49a to make sure they are all the same no matter their origin (Mac, Win7, Linux, various applications for ripping), maybe that touches the ID3 structure of the file to make eJukebox think there's somthing there...

But I just checked with some really old files, same thing.

The option to disable the switching and just have a static front cover would be much appreciated.

+1 right here. It would be nice to have this feature.

BUMP

v5.72 is up at http://audiosoft.net/download.htm and updates it so it only looks for coversback.jpg or back.jpg in the same folder as the mp3. it used to also look for a back.jpg in the folder above the mp3 folder.
Please try v5.72 and let me know if this fixes the cover mouseover problem for you or not
if not let me know what version of internet explorer you have installed and which skin you are using

Just updated. No cigar, mouseover still displays a broken image. Wouldn't be kind of simple to just add another option to the display settings disabling the mouseover alltogether? I just want the dang front cover displayed. It's not a killer, it's just really ugly.

I use IE9 on Win7 with the A5 VinylMatrix skin.

No? Too hard to add another checkbox to the preferences pane? Too hard to pack the mousevent code that changes the display of the album art into an if-block?

ok this v5.73 beta exe adds a check to make sure it is a valid image before it uses it for the back cover image.
so this should fix the missing icon on now playing cover mouseover.

shutdown ejukebox and replace this over C:EJukeboxejukebox.exe
please let me know if this fixes it for you or not.

Works like a charm, thanks!
