Title: Customising the Now Playing cover artwork
Post by: stealer on December 23, 2011, 06:43:30 am

I am looking into customising the Now Playing artwork
the original artwork with text look like this.

(http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o177/my9386/orignalpostiion.jpg)

But I prefer the cover artwork to look like this, with all texts on the Right /left of the Cover art
Is this possible?,
if yes, pls show me how

Have a look at the Noire Track Info.  It does the same thing.

You can copy/modify the skin elements to your liking, combining the aspects you like best from them (such as white background, text on right).

Track Info skins are in: C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 16\Visualizations\Track Info

Ok managed to change it to Noire Track info.

Now how do I copy/modify the skin elements, I am a noob in this but attempted it anyway..
Do you mean to access to the main.css file in the about path.
tried changing the albumart pos, see
.albumart {
      top: 0 px;
      left: 0 px;
 to this
.albumart {
      top: 50 px;
      left: 50 px; but the system will not allow me to save it.

am I do it right?

Copy the Noire track info visualization folder to your desktop, to a new folder called Noire New

Make your changes to the contents inside that folder on your desktop.

When you want to test the changes, copy the folder Noire New to

  C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 16\Visualizations\Track Info

Now you can change visualizations to another, such as Simple, and then back to Noire New to see your updates.
