using google translate to italian:

Lotti di carino caratteristiche e con gli occhi dolci ma come fare ad arrivare a loro?

Good idea! I'll change it.

Thanks for the reports

Press and hold to change the button command worked.

you were missing the

Code:

X,Mp3Art

line in the menu.skin.
That's why albumart was missing. The album art area is a wierd size though, 267x219? most art is 1:1 ratio, you've got a 1.22:1 ratio. When you stretch it to fit a widescreen physical aspect ratio, it looks even more stretched, approximately 267x175 pixels which ends up being 1.53:1.

Other than that, it's an awesome skin, and I learned a few things that I might try and tweak a little for my skin.

Very cool skin ...
how do I get to browse albums by cover ... as in the screenshots on post #1 ?

by going to audio player, pressing the icon that looks like a pen on a notepad to "edit" the playlist, then once in that screen press here:

ah ah ah!!
I know it, but it's not the translation my problem! I can translate it to italian... but I'm not sure about the meaning!
I don't understand if it means:
a) good work, there are a lot of functions, it's interesting to know how do you get them!
b) good work, there are a lot of nice functions but I can't get them (they doesn't work)!
...anyway I think it should be the first... so thanks

I know.. I like the way it appears because it reminds me the old 4:3 video on a 16:9 monitor..
..anyway I'm workin' on a audio player mod

there are three button for the three browser mode:
1) browse with CD cover preview
2) browse by cover
3) browse with an eye on playlist (useful for create new playlist)
you can change the mode pressing those buttons (they are quite under clock)
..if you've got a favourite mode hold press that button and CrystalSilver will go there when you press browse from audio player

thanks monkeyracer!

maybe in other words:

"There are a lot of nice features, but i can't figure out how to go to those screens to use those nice features."

I'll have to admit, the icons are a little cryptic, they kind of always have been with your skin.

ok, clear! now I understand...
it was nearer the second meaning
you're right! ...I'm writing a visual guide

Wow that skin looks amazing... I'm deffinately going to use that in the carpc I'm starting to build.

great job.. can't wait for the rest of the screens
