    I like the bottom button section more like this personally, the staggered original always didn't feel right to me & the whole bottom section is a little too cluttered looking.... david's new design is clean & pro looking

    I wish I could do what rpm's been saying all along, making the song list longer... my screen is real tall & I could easily pull off 10-12 songs per page......

    I really want to learn how to manipulate the xml's so I can build an 800X1280 native skin... with that much screen real estate I could have a nice sized video window without going from a postage stamp sized to full screen... something inbetween & usable for me........ I bought a few books on xml & vb6, but there is a lot to learn.... maybe someday.......

    WTF: 800x1280??? You have a portrait LCD in your dash? Pics please.

    Edit: I looked in your sig. You got 3 monitors... is that what you mean? Do those really work as if they are one monitor with the touch-screens all working and all? Strange.

    Edit2: Nevermind... I kept reading your thread... you have too much money and time bro LOL.

    lol, skinning is not that bad, you will have the hang of it in no time. Whats neat is that everything is dynamic, you dont even have to have the play button at the bottom center you could put it smack dab in the middle of the screen if you want just change the x and y coords for the button, want it to go all the way accoss the bottom of the screen? make its width 800 (or 848) and then draw the button on the .png to match. You could make a completely custom skin for your 800x1280.

    this is where the fun begins

    yeah, but to do 800X1280 will require doing EVERYTHING over.... a few mods is one thing, everything completely is a whole other story..... david speaks of xmlspy full version as being much easier with grids, but full version is $499 I think.... I can't justify spending that to play with this.... wish there was another way.... by hand text editing doing a whole skin would be suicide!!!!

    There are other freeware XML browsers/editors I am sure. I will look around for some myself and tell you if I find anything.

    The 12 lines are a little too cramped . I realize you just did that so you didn't have to re-do the graphics and could do 2 per section. The 8 lines looks great but I still think 10 lines per page makes the most sense. See if you can re-gain some vertical real-estate and expand the list height too.

    Good stuff! Keep at it.
