    You could set it up where each "art" text piece is in a separate transparent image file.

    Thats actually a really good idea Machinehead, I did one of the top menus that way and it works great.

    I may not be able to help that much with the skinning, but I'm full of odd ideas.

    By the way, I'm still trying to get around to tweaking Fixers XM screens for Sirius. I'll post them when I'm done.

    with that direction, will it hinder the performance as far as speed is concerned I love this skin cuz its fast and light and still manage to look beautiful... If this change is gonna effect the perfomance and looks, I am not gonna change mine... I am sticking with the way it is...

    I have geode 500 mhz proc with 256 ram... looks 20 but works like 80 years old... It's vega UMPC.... enuf said..

    blk02SI, I had to tell you how fantastic this is.

    I have been lurking and debating a carpc for a very long time, and this skin was enough to push me over the edge and order over a grand worth of parts and jump right in lol.

    Everything should be here by monday, so i'll have shots of this in a Diamond Graphite 03 G35 coupe with Black interior for ya on tuesday =)

    Cheers!

    That sounds like a good solution, whos going to take up that challenge to create transpartent text overlays for each menu item?

    Would love to do it... but I dont even own Photoshop.

    More possible ideas if any wants the challenge.

    Options for display Music Art on the main menu.
    Also possibility of added the visulizations in the background transparently?

    The nice thing about doing the overlay is that we only need one set of background jpegs for menu 1, 2 & 3

    This one is pretty easy, you can steal the code right out of the audio_player.skin. The exact same location should work on the main menu.
