eJ Crimson 2 Skin
Here is my skin eJ Crimson 2 UPDATED for eJukebox 4.5:
- Following a suggestion of Audiosoft, I've added a new graphic layer in the Artistlist for the artist letters and artist rows, embellished with 2
attractive icons.. (cf my screenshot)
- A new "blue CD" on the songlist search box.
- Improved the Songlist Header graphics: blue cd, here too..
- Tried to improve the songlist browsing buttons, better blending.. Tell me if you like?
- Added a new "Play Now" green icon in the songlist-large. Of course, the two other songlist styles are still available!
- Improved the Nocover image of rllercstr7, well I hope. 
- Also added his great "aluminium" star rating back in the Now Playing panel. Thanks for your graphics rllercstr7!
- Improved more the songlist browsing buttons, helped by rllercstr7..
- Updated my skin for the new Scroll Sliders: The transparent RED slider was designed by Audiosoft.. It's a nice piece of work!!
NB: This skin requires Internet Explorer 7 for transparency effects.. but it can also works in IE6!
To install: Download the attached zip file and save it to C:\Program Files\eJukebox\Skins\eJ_Crimson2.zip. Then activate eJ_Crimson2 on the Skins
section of the Tools button menu.
A new version of this skin 'eJ Crimson 3' is also available for download from there: http://www.audiosoft.net/forums/viewthread.php?tid=2110

Nice Pirk. Thanks for adding in my graphic. I like what you have done with the artist list. One thing that would be cool although I don't think its
possible for you to do it without some help is to have the little graphics that are now on the artist list next to each artists name cue up every song
by that artist. This would maybe stop the text from going over the little images too. I notice that in your screenshot the little images in the
songlist under the play now header are different than what came in the download. The image on mine has the little cd and music not, which I think I
prefer anyways. It is also probably more intuitive for new users. One thing I am a little curious about is what the red box around the forward/back
arrows is for? Great improvements Pirk! I especially like the cd over the search area, that was a really great idea

Pirk in fact it is not just the icon which is different from the screen shot in the download mine looks like the screenshot below. I really like the
things you did with it except that green button to replace the cd and music note as I mentioned.

rllercstr7, my skin looks different for you simply because you have the EXTRA-LARGE version of the songlist selected.. It looks great isn't it? 
With my skin you have the ability to choose between THREE sizes for the songlist: one with Normal font for the text, a second one with a Large font,
and a third displaying some Extra-large text and graphics.
You just need to RIGHT CLICK somewhere on the songlist and select the size you prefer in the contextual menu that appears!
Concerning the red box around the forward/back arrows: this is a attempt in order to blend more the buttons in the skin.. I would like the arrows be
quite incrusted into the black bar, but as I'm not talented, maybe I failed! If someone could help me, I'm not against..
Glad you like the blue cd and the artistlist!
The 2 icons that are next each artists are there just for the decoration, but I agree that would be great if Audiosoft could activate them for a
specific action.. Concerning the text sometimes going over the icons, I could avoid that by increasing the "left-padding" in the skin. Of course if
the icons were actives that would be necessary.
Otherwise, it seems that you don't like the new green icon! I can change it very easily.. That was just to test a new feature rescently added by
Audiosoft! I will see for the next version.

Ah ok, I didn't realize you had different styles for the different sizes. What do you think of this golden brown letter header Pirk? I've been
playing around with colors, maybe I will look at the area around the forward/back buttons.

rllercstr7, I like much your golden brown letter header. Can you lend me your version?
And I'm very interested if you come up with a better integration of my forward/back buttons..

And a new Top.jpg. You need to add each graphic for it to look right. Heres the result:

Pirk, I like the latest one!
BTW I think you should change the scroll button over the artistlist color to black so it blends it together. That is the in colors.ini
[ScrollButtonArtistList0]
Background=0
Also, maybe
[ArtistBarCloseToggle]
Background=0
Basically make it look good as possible with the scroll buttons because I have added skinnable PNG scroll sliders for the artist, songlist and
albumlists that will eventually only work when showing the buttons.

Well.. I'm not sure the artistlist looks better with more black buttons?
Skinnable PNG scroll sliders?! Wow.. great! So I'll have something more to skin!!

I think that scroll button looks allot better black!
You got that ejukebox.exe that I had post above right? If you add artistslider.png to your skin folder that exe will show the sliders after you load
your skin. Also make sure to enable scroll buttons and disable scrollbars because the sliders will not work with the scrollbars in the next version.
You can edit the artistslider.png and make it bigger or a different shape if you want too. I still need to add an option to enable/disable sliders and
fix some things up so I removed that exe download. Just wanted you to be able to try it out so you can mess with the artistslider.png. Let me know
what you think.

scroll button better in black!? Ahh.. maybe I'm too familiar with my red version.
Thanks a lot for this new exe Audiosoft! The new slider is very handy and
looks very good for the Artistlist. Concerning the songlist and albumlist.. on first try I think maybe that is less obvious.
What is sure is the shadow effect on your slider is excellent!

Maybe I should just disable the the sliders over the album and songlist for now. make the slider just for the the artist list. What do you think?

Thanks for this precious stone Audiosoft! It looks great too, transparency is a real improvement. Concerning the position of the slider on the song
and albumlist, the thing is as there are two scrolling methods at the same time they are not easy to combine without that be confusing, but I think
the transparency will help much.. That will be great if we can use different versions of the slider for each panel.

Hi Pirk. I think both the red and the black scroll bars look good as long as they are both the same color, however I may be a little partial towards
the red as you are. I like how you adjusted my graphic for the forward/back arrows.

Audiosoft, maybe you could couple the song and albumlist sliders with the Touch screen option?
I don't have a touch screen at home, but I think if the slider follows the user finger, maybe that will be handy for a touchscreen use?
The Artistlist slider would be always available, touchscreen or not, but only if the user wants it!
Hi rllercstr7, in fact I haved already tried the artistlist buttons in black, red.. And the close expand buttons in white don't shock me, or at least
I like the shock.. However things can still change!

Pirk,
I have added 2 checkbox options to the display options to enable/disable the Sliders; one for the Artistlist and one for the Songlist/Albumlist. The
Artistlist one will be enabled by default. The Sliders on the Songlist/Albumlist look better I think if they are aligned with the right side of
eJukebox instead of the right side of the songlist. So they appear to the right of the up and down arrows on the right side scroll buttons. Next I
will add a sliders.ini to allow the skin to change the horizontal alignment for the sliders and allow for different PNGs for each slider.

Ok, thanks Audiosoft.
Otherwise I haved another idea: maybe the song and albumlist sliders could be on the left side? So they would not interfere..
