I made a few skins 16x9 and I recently had to replace the motherboard in my jukebox. I cannot select 16x9 but I can select 1920x1080 which is still the same ratio. The only problem I have is the skin doesn't go all the way to the ends of the screen. Is there a way without resizing each skin to make it stretch to 1920x1080?
Can't you just adjust the resolution in settings or are you using the computer for other things as well?

when I choose 16X9 it doesn't fill my monitor
I will post the Blue Neon 1920X1080 in the very near future. I rescaled it.
Thanks i started re scaling but if you already did it, it will save me some time. :)
Trying to upload the rar file but it wont let me because it's too big. What am I doing wrong.

Unfortunately, new monitors don't appear to fill the screen with a smaller resolution, they simply just 'fit' the resolution with borders around the outside. My old monitor just stretched the resolution to fill the screen but the new one simply just 'fits' with borders.
The only realistic options are to either set your monitors permanent resolution to your current skin size, which I believe is 1600x900 or just resize the skins to 1920x1080.
I know it's a hassle but the latter is probably the better long term option.

I believe the maximum file size for upload on this forum is around 300KB (0.3MB), so you won't be allowed to upload it here.

Where are you trying to upload to? You cannot upload it here that is for sure. You need to upload to either a Mega site, MSN cloud or something similar. The file should be approx 17 megs or there abouts.
Mail it to me and i'll upload it for you. Is there not a setting in your monitor to make it fill the screen or in your graphics card options?

No setting in monitor. I will probably end up resizing all the skins eventually. I will upload them when I'm done so if anyone has the same problem as me
I mean for the screen resolution. I am on the vertical at the moment, so I cannot do anything with that, but my monitor used to auto size with the skins, but at some point that stopped for some reason, I am not sure if that is program related or monitor, but it always used to resize.
I will go on the other pc a sec and have a look
Have a look at your monitor menu as you should have an auto size function on it. I have an old Samsung 24 inch I think it is, and I just tried a smaller skin and that made the monitor resize itself.
The native resolution is 1920 x 1080 or whatever it is, but it down sized the screen.

Ye my screen doesn't have it. on my computer I loaded everything up and changed the resolution and it works fine. Must be different with different video cards or monitors.
Barry,
Did you get my email with the skin?

Barry,

Yes I will upload it now, sorry been busy.
Thanks kevinlpowercom for the 1920 version but I am gonna make my original ones into 1920. a few things that I need to change on yours, it works but not exactly the same as my smaller version.
well as I liked v6 I upgraded to v10 I had my old elo 15 inch monitor for years running juke box I love e touch so I upgraded pc and bought a nice 23 inch dell 10 point led touchscreen to show off etouch I am not having a dig here but the norm for a long time now is 1920x1080 it seems that some people say down grade resolution, down grade covers, when all I want is a sharp crisp looking jukebox ?
I don't buy a new game and play it on the lowest settings. for my covers to look nice it seems that 600x600 look ok but everything is running slow next buy new gfx card, I seem to have a lot more problems with v10 than I did with v 6 cant get it to stay full screen now
The larger the covers the more disc access takes place to load them so it will be slower. The speed of the album paging is dictated by the size of those cover images. It is always quicker to have named images rather than using first cover found as well. First cover found will take more time to look for and load the file.
NOTE:
Did you know if you have a back.jpg in the album folder clicking the cover in tracklisting changes it to the back.jpg and clicking it again will show the front cover again.
yes thanks barry I have back covers set up was hoping my machine was beefy enough to handle higher res covers have changed skin now and it seems a bit quicker.
I have quad core 3.2 g cpu and 8 gig ram the only weekness is the gfx card woul a new gfx card make much difference or is it down to the cpu and memory?
I also have all my covers named rather than first cover found.
A graphics card won't make a difference to you.
The bottleneck on those specs will be the size of your collection and the speed of your interface to the HDD.
What size is the drive?
What RPM does it have?
How big is your collection?
Is E-Touch and your music on the same drive?
As Barry has also stated cover size is key.
I have a substantial collection and am running E-Touch without issue on an old Core 2 Duo machine with 2GB ram and on-board video. The HDD is a 1 TB platter drive @7200RPM.

All my music is on a USB drive and I still don't have an issue, it really is down to the size of the covers more than anything else. If you resize them in irfanview you might get them looking better than resizing them in the config.
