pirk,
you can download the new version at rapidshare.com
O.K. the link was a little bit hidden. It's now on the top in my posting!
The blue stars are in the songlist as in the popup-window.
The stars in the "now-playing"-area are also new - but still yellow. (Blue stars don't look good here - I'll tried it. They were almost invisible.
You don't notice them in blue.)

I love this skin!
I alternate between this skin and Pirk's excellent Crimson Live.
One request:
I'm probably unusual here, but I use a Lilliput 10.4" touch screen for my jukebox. This has a native 800 x 600 resolution. (I will post a picture of
my setup soon)
Any extras that could be squeezed into this res would be especilly appreciated by me!
Keep up the good work

SimonC,
glad you like my skin.
A good setting for a 800x-resolution is on my tasklist. So it's just a matter of time.
At the moment I'm working on the album list and I try to shrink the file-size of the skin.
What do You think of the new album-list?
It's tricky because I can't use different pictures for the different elements (or I don't know the trick how to do it  )

mchawk,
Looking good...
See http://www.audiosoft.net/forums/viewthread.php?tid=2234
In the albumlistscroll.dis you can set the td{ } for the album and can now add .artistheader { } for the artists.

audiosoft,
thanks, I will try it the next days.
SimonC,
I just made some modifications for a 800x - profile.
Is this better?
BTW: I can't make a continuous top-blacklight-tube.
I cannot alter the filenames for ten "np?.jpg"-files in any .dis-files. And I like to keep the tube continuous for 1024x-and-above-resolutions.
Of course Playlist / Songlist-Backgrounds are modified for 800x.

Hi McHawk
I very much like the optimized 800 x 600 skin.
The differences are very subtle but add to the overall effect in a big way.
Thanks for taking on board my request for this resolution - I didn't know whether my request was a viable one and it was a nice surprise to see you
had worked on it so quickly.
I very much llok forward to downloading it when it becomes available.

sort of .. i was actually matching both the album and artist font with the nowplaying font. for me it is easier to link them in my brain when looking
from one to the other. and it makes it nice and consistent.

On the quest for fonts
Version 1.7 is up.
I'll tried some fonts to replace the Arial- and Bitsumishi-font.
I like the Bitsumishi-font but it has no small chars. And I like to use a font with small chars in the play-, artist- and songlist.
I replaced them with the "King Richard"-font. I like this font but it lacks on local chars like äöüßéáúâ...
What do you think?
Do you have any suggestions for another font?
Should I use Arial? - simple and good to read - but nothing special.
???

mchawk,
I like much your new small control-buttons, well the light blue version, like on your screenshot.. Nice work!
Concerning the fonts, in my skin I use the "segoe ui" fonts: It's the fonts used by Vista! The big advantage is these fonts have all the
non-english accents for any language..

Thanks pirk,
there are more light blue icons hidden under the "big buttons" 
Concerning fonts:
I'll test a lot the last days. But the only fonts who are
- readable
- not serif like New Times Roman
- support international characters
- support small characters
are "Arial" and "segoe ui" this far.
"segoe ui" is AFAIK copyrighted by Micro$oft and part of windows vista.
At the moment I think I use both in the .dis-files and "segoe ui" in first priority - but do not pack the font in the skin...

RE: "segoe ui" is AFAIK copyrighted by Micro$oft and part of windows vista.
Ahh?! Really? I'm not going to dwell on these details.. I don't make
any money with my skin, in fact using the segoe ui font, I just promote Vista for free! My skin requires that users install IE7.. So rather I think
Micro$oft should send me a few bucks, ATi and $ennheiser as well!! And maybe $ony too for my blue disc which, after all, looks like a "Blu-ray"
disc.. And I will not tell you from where I taken my new artist header
graphic.. 
PS: I'm frightened by the bright idea of Audiosoft for his eJ flow!!

I know M$ think so... if you have time feel free to google...
Anyway: I've read, PowerPoint-Viewer 2007 installs this font to any system. 
BTW: The "big play buttons" remind me to WMP10 fullscreen-buttons.
Here's a little preview - New visors for the artist-list... O.K. not really new - but now I can don't see the buttons below anymore and I can let
them glow in any color I wish.

Ahhh! Now I got it! Sometimes it took longer for me to understand. :-)
This is the logo of a youth-meeting place from a local protestantic church. I run the homepage - and I made a service-provider change.
I plan a redesign of this page... and in the meantime everybody can see the program om my page.
The translation from the text in the logo is:
"I am the bread of life - Jesus Christ" - It's a quote from the "Lord's Supper".
In fact the building was a bakery, 20 years ago.

Uh-Oh! I thought everybody were asleep, when I update my homepage.
It took me half an hour, but it's online now: Just follow the link!
I began to split the site to an english- and german-speaking part.
