Ok, so building a jukebox for a friend and almost done. Having an issue figuring out what skin and etouch version to use. For the monitor I need a 1600 x 900 skin if possible.  The ones that work with v8 are just better for wat I want right now.  However there are some 1024 x 768 that may work as well.   Here are my main questions.

- With either v8 or v10 of etouch, if I set my monitor to the default resolution of 1650 x 1050 and use a 1600 x 900 OR 1024 x 768 skins AND tell etouch to use full screen in the Appearance menu and restart etouch, it doesn't use the full screen.  It uses a window the size of the skin.  If I go back into the menu and re-click (its still selected) full screen it works, until I restart etouch.  Tried looking at the video adapter settings and messing around with scaling and such, but no luck.  Any ideas?

- Is there a 1600 x 900 version of the v8 SxxLxxS skin (or maybe have it running in v10)? I like this older skin a lot, simple and solid. If I could solve the full-screen issue above, I could stop this thread here .......

Lastly, I really like the look of the default skins in Zenpoint and AlbumPlayer, but etouch just works better.  Anybody taken a crack at similar skin styles? Its a cosmetic thing to me, but I don't have the skills to make something that looks good. Maybe there is another skin repository somewhere?

Thanks

Here is a list of some completed skins that you will be able to download as you are a lifetime sub, there is a zenpoint clone skin available

Zenpoint is an ok system, but it is not really a jukebox software, unlike etouch is. Album player again is not really a jukebox, it is more a media player type software.

Make sure that you are running as admin, and make sure that you save settings before exiting etouch, so that it remains in full screen mode.

I am now retired from the jukebox scene. I still visit from time to time and will help if I can, but apart from that. I am no longer a slave to downloading and tagging.

Hi Mark, thanks for the pointer.  I went through most of those skins previously though and didn't find what I wanted, but I will give a couple another go. I don't see a zenpoint clone skin in there, which one are you referring to?

I know I save my changes when I make them but will double-check that setting too.

Yes, not trying to change to another "jukebox" , I just like some of their skins better.

Cheers, D

Try setting the screen resolution to that of the skin before launching e-touch.
