I don't know if this helps at all Audiosoft, but If I have for instance IE open on my primary monitor and ejukebox on my secondary, eJukebox will not
steal the focus from internet explorer (I can type a sentence as it changes songs and nothing happens to interrupt it), because it is being displayed
on the secondary monitor. (An application on one monitor can't steal the focus from an application currently in focus on another) If you could trick
windows into thinking eJukebox was really being displayed on an imaginary monitor when it was in the background then it wouldn't behave as it does
currently. I just thought that information might be valuable to your dificulties.

Bravo Audiosoft! Thanks if you can fix that. 
I hope you will solve the focus theft bug, because that would be a shame if the popup doesn't pop up when eJ is not focused.
Yes, it's a small part of my skin..

And the time is way overdue for a release of your skin Pirk. It is able to move and talk on its own now, let go

Here is v4.1 Beta 4.
Make sure to grab the albumpop.zip on the first page of this topic if you have not done so yet and want to try this beta.
Beta 4 Updates:
-Popup no longer steals focus when eJukebox not minimized
-Popup no longer brings eJukebox window to the top when eJukebox not minimized
-Text and Stars no longer flicker when updated
-Play/Pause button on popup now shows the correct state
The only time it will bring eJukebox to the top is when eJukebox is not minimized and you access the popup's right click menu.

Great Audiosoft! It works like a charm now. I appologize for posting about that bug when it had already been reported. I totally missed the blurb in
the bottom of Pirk's post about it.

Thanks Audiosoft! All works good now.
rllercstr7, don't worry about it. I think a bug reported twice has more chance to be fixed! Especially as my English leaves a lot to be desired... So
I'm relieved when someone else than me report bugs!

I found one more issue I don't think anyone has mentioned with the pop-up. If eJukebox is running and the screen saver comes on, the pop-up shows
over the screen saver as songs change which is really nice. However only the frame appears and there is no album cover in it. Its like it is being
hidden by the screensaver. The song name aslo has a tendency to run off the edge of the screen if it is to long.

I've also noticed this tendency, but not reported!

Not much I can do about long titles other than allow the font to be made smaller. I could also make there be a limit to how long the titles can be and
add "..."'s but it would probally be better just to leave the full title so you can move the popup to see the rest. Also there is the possibility
of making the titles right aligned with the screen when they are too long...but that would like kinda weird with the current center alignment of
everything.

And why not to use a scrolling marquee like in the nowplaying panel? In case of scrolling the popup would remain displayed the supplementary time
necessary to have a complete scrolling of the long title or artist name.

Yeah I will look into scrolling text. I just fear it will eat up too much cpu since it is drawn with alpha blending.

Just an idea, but what if the text on the pop-up only scrolled when the cursor rolls over it. This way you can see more of the title if you wish to,
but won't miss anything at the begining of the title caused by an automatic scroll.

Just a uick question on the popcase. I have been playing about with this and have created my first popcase based on my Favourite Football team
(motherwell FC). I don't know if i have created the png properly as I can;t get e-jukebox to load it! I have read through this thread and it says
to force the popup to load then click the icon in the system tray, but I don't have an ejukebox systray icon!!! I have tried re-loading the ejremix
skin and tried closing, re-opening ejukebox, but I always get the original popcase. I am saving it in this location -
C:\Program Files\eJukebox\images\albumpop\popcase.png
is that correct?
Thanks

Make sure the png has transparency in the middle otherwise it will cover up the album cover.
Tools->Options->Display tab->check Minimize to Tray then you can right click the EJ icon to show the popup.
