Are you still having issues?

To install Fonts PROPERLY under WinXP, you may have to go to Control Panels, Fonts, and then use File->Install Fonts...

Wow, this rules. Thanks, I will try it out. Will match my red/amber dash much better

I have a new version coming out tonight. It has bigger screens with more area dedicated to song lists, etc, and makes much better use of the space. It rocks. Stay tuned!

Excellent, cant wait. I am working on a mazda logo now.

I have yet to fix an issue with the sliders, but here is a teaser of the new, larger screens for Orange Heat skin.

Unfortunatley CF is 'hardcoded' to 2 rows of Albums. As soon as David fixes that, I will add a 3rd row of albums, which fits nicely in that screen size if I decrease the album thumbnail size slightly.

Comments on these screens please? Good or bad to increase size and add more rows?

You only increased the "now playing" lines from 6 to 7

. I was hoping for more like 10.

LOL. It's true... I could have increased it, but at 8 you would already need a smaller font, and it was not very good for touchscreen... the rows are becoming too thin after that... sorry

On a separate note, I am getting really sick of modifying these art files, without access to the originals. (I don't blame eBomb or anything... I respect his position on this.) This next release will be the final. It's just waaaay too much work to tweak all this stuff without original layers etc.

I will make a new skin from scratch (with another design, less sharp edges) when I have time, but it will be several weeks. It will be amber/orange/red based for sure. I will then release the original art files for anyone else to modify colors to their liking.
