Playing Now Popup skin "Playlist"
« on: November 10, 2024, 10:41:01 am »

Note: For a trouble-free experience with this skin, you must be using MC 33.0.52 or higher


Playlist
This skin partially changes dynamically as per the chosen standard view skin. The items that follow the standard view skin are: are the outer frame, the background, rating stars and the text for the currently playing track. The three examples below show how the constant items remain functional regardless of the lightness or darkness of the standard view skin.
   

Playlist has been produced on a screen using a 1920 x 1200 resolution @ 100% on Windows 10 Pro. Feedback from users on other platforms and/or resolutions, good or bad, is especially appreciated. The skin is 340 pixels wide and 1025 pixels tall.

The attached archive contains an mjp file. Extract and double click this mjp file. MC will automatically download and install the skin.

Thank you, and enjoy :)

Update 22/12/2024:
Updated for recent font size changes.
Reduced the height of the popup to trim wasted space from the bottom
Reworked the layout of the text items to the right of the current thumbnail. All three sections should now wrap to three lines if necessary
Removed the colour instruction from playlist text items. These now update as per the currently active standard view skin.

--------------
In order to get things the way I wanted, this skin now employs some deliberate overlapping of some text components. All information should now wrap to three lines if necessary. I have not found any issues with this approach thus far, if you do find a problem, feedback would be appreciated and a fix should hopefully follow in short order :)

Files on the server have been updated. Double click your mjp file to get the latest versions.

Just "Play" skin to get at now. That will have to wait some days now.

Merry Christmas to all :)
