Title: Skinning a wee bit complicated
Post by: GMac on December 08, 2008, 07:26:33 PM
I've spent a good few hours trying to create a skin and its not the easiest thing in the world, in my mind I would love to be able to create a parameter file for each screen that has the various images, buttons / actions embedded in it and then the skin tool is purely about dragging the elements to the place on the screen and it updates the x/y coordinates accordingly that way I can have any button enabled on any screen, i.e. instead of having a search button I could just dump a "track lookup" button on the main menu.  Similarly, player controls could be embedded on any screen including the options...

I was thinking something like this

<Main Menu>
  <Button>
     <Function>Search_Track</Function>
     <Label>Search_Track</label>
     <Font>Arial</Font>
     <FontSize>12</FontSize>
     <Image>.\images\pause.jpg</Image>
     <color>grey</color>
     <Height>12</Height>
     <Width>25</Width>
     <ImageStyle>1</ImageStyle>
     <xcoord>xxx</xcoord>
     <ycoord>yyy</ycoord>
   </Button>
</Main Menu>

That involves coding the whole jukebox from the ground up so it's not going to happen any time soon.  :downer
