Album Art as a button

**fixerofallthing** · 10-11-2008, 10:01 PM

I am wanting to use the album art image as a button to launch another skin. I can not get the album art to show through the button after it is pushed. Button woks fine and art works until button is pushed. Is ther a way to make the button transparent or something? I have searched but have had no luck.

I use the album art as a button in skins, too. Unfortunately the only way to get the art back is to RELOADSKIN. If you come up with another way please share.

K, Fixed!

Use this modded Mp3Art plugin which fires a "AlbumArtClicked" event when the album art indicator is clicked.

Oh...and your welcome

i place a label cmd over the albumart with a command like this ...

/, View Playlist Details.
L55,34,334,204,203,,,,,,"EXEC;LOAD;audio_player2.s kin||",""
and it generally works a treat too ...

I know -- I saw it, but the thing is events in RR should always start with "ONxxx" for both consistency and improved code handling of events. Since I had to open the code anyway, I went ahead and adjusted this ... I just posted here because I figured if more people want this, they can try the latest version if they want.
