This is probably a Matt question, but I will see if anybody else has come up with a solution.
I use Track Info templates almost exclusively with my TV/Stereo in my living room. The problem with this is that I just bought a big screen projection tv, and have to now take into account screen burn. Can we get a way, or does someone have a fix, to remove the light gray/white border that shows up on the edges of all Track Info Templates. This border is not visible in the Visualizations, the 3D Visualization, or the Image Viewer. If I can't find a way to change it to black, or remove it, I am risking damaging my TV, anytime I use it.
Anyone have any thoughts on the problem?
Thanks,
JFMUS

This worries me too as I use a 42" Plasma. I switch back to hairstyle quite a bit just to give the phosphorus cells a break.
-
I've mentioned the light gray/white bezel around track info a few times before - can we kill it?
I've made a track info & a hairstyle that match exactly - except for that white border!!! It really sticks out because all of my media equipment is black...
-
We'll take a look at this.

Try adding style="border: solid black 0px" in Body tag
like <BODY style="border: solid black 0px">
This should fix it, but I'm not sure. I can't try it now
-
Thanks JaWe, that did the trick, perfectly. I'm adding that line into all the track info's...
Now all I need is a single key to toggle between Hairstyle and Full Screen...
(And I've mentioned this before, but Hairstyle is a really bad name for what it does.)
-
I tried fixing the border in this way and it didn't work. I've no idea how to write or edit HTML so if it's not as straightforward as pasting the suggested line into the HTML please could you give me a complete step by step explanation.
Can't you toggle between HS and full screen using F11? Do you use a remote? I toggle between the 2 with one button on my remote using Girder.
-
JLee, just paste <BODY style="border: solid black 0px"> directly below any other <body> tags on a separate line. Worked for me.
As for the hairstyle/fullscreen thing, F11 cycles through the windowed mode as well. I just want to toggle between Hairstyle and Full Screen.

Still not working. I'm using Front Page to edit the HTML. When I paste it in the end of the html:
<p align="center"> <p align="right"> </td>
<td width="21"> </td>
<td width="473">
<p align="center"><strong>
<font color="#66CCFF" size="4" face="Tahoma">TRACKINFO_INSERT_LYRICS</font></strong></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<p class="unnamed2"> </p>
JUST HERE
</body>
</html>
The <BODY style="border: solid black 0px"> bit changes to <BODY> when I hit save.
As for F11 - for me it toggles as follows:
megame - track info - hairstyle - megame.
If you have a keyboard that let's you assign any command to the buttons you could assign the following mjextman commands to 2 separate buttons to get what you want:
Full screen - %windir%\System32\mjextman.exe /MCC 22009,2
Hairstyle - %windir%\System32\mjextman.exe /MCC 22009,3
-
I see. Put the new line at the beginning of the HTML, right after the first <body> tag, like this:
</style>
</head>
<body background="back.jpg" bgcolor="#A3C3E7" text="#FFFFFF">
<body style="border: solid black 0px">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
Frontpage is probably trying to second-guess what you're doing by writing a <body> tag so close to the end of the document. I just used Notepad.
As for the key, what I want is to *not* cycle through Mega Me. Basically I'm setting this up for a friend, and they want to stay in Full Screen/Hairstyle mode constantly, not dropping back to Mega-Me at all. (In effect, a simplified interface mode)
-
Hairstyle / Full Screen toggle is the "Menu" key. (VK_APPS) It's by the right control button on modern keyboards.
Next build won't have a border on the webpages.
-
Thanks - Used notepad and that sorted it.
As for the key, what I want is to *not* cycle through Mega Me.
I know - will the mjextman commands help?
-
Hey Matt - is the Menu key that is supposed to toggle between Hairstyle and Fullscreen the same as the "ShowMenu" command in the remote control settings?
If so, it ain't working for me. If not, is there a chance we can get the Hairstyle/Fullscreen toggle as one of the remote control commands?
-
Thanks everyone....
I have been out of town, and was not able to check out any of your replies until now. The feedback is much appreciated.
