Albedo Remixed - A skin perfected and remixed by Remixedcat

Updated to work in newer versions of JRiver Media Canter with the following changes and improvements:



New font and scaling options:
1) Now scales with font size defined in the main program's options. No longer locked into a small font that was unreadable on hires displays

2) Dynamic sizing works from View>Size so now skin will scale. Good for making text and other UI elements workable on hires displays or from further away.



UI Fixes:

1) Border removed so player looks better maximized and to reduce border burnin on OLED displays.

2) Playerbuttons fixed for all OSes. Only worked in windows due to case sensitive file names not being the proper case on Linux. Now works correctly.

Closing:

I had a lot of nostalgia around this theme and it's one of the best! I had to make it work for all OSes and updated the feel and added some needed font changes!

Thanks so much.

Go to Help > System Info... and see the Processing tab and see if it's building thumbnails in the background. With MC34 the thumbnails cache will need to be rebuilt.

MC's Options > Startup > Startup interface > and change both the Location: to Last location and Mode: to Last Exit View and there you go.

MC's Options > Tree & View > uncheck the Auto size columns setting.

I so rarely need to reset these settings, I've forgotten how and can't seem to find the answer.

How do I have Audio/Files displayed every time I start Media Center?

How do I have column widths (in the above view-and other views) that I customized, be saved so they are what is displayed whenever I switch views?

Appreciate your time and help.

There is a expression to insert an ASCII character  although there may be limitations on where you can use it.  You might try CHAR(10) and see is that puts in a line feed. Use 13 for a carriage return. I do know know if that will work in a Find and Replace. But, worth a try unless someone has more details.

From the Wiki

Description   Char(Numeric Number Code)
                        Char() has unicode support, however, only decimal values are supported. If you require a Hex to Decimal convertor, try unicode-search.net, or search for an alternative online.

Unusual CPU usage

I've noticed that sometimes there's unusual CPU usage, which causes the microprocessor to overheat. The only way to fix this is to stop the task. I've attached a couple of images.

What's [AlbumArtist] ? Shouldn't it be [Album Artist] or [Album Artist (auto)] ?

zybex! zybex! zybex!   It would be awesome if I could utter your name three times anytime I needed your help - your code worked perfectly - Thank you so much! 

As for "AlbumArtist" that is simply my display name for "Album Artist", and your code works regardless of which spelling I use for the field no problem.  I like using the so-called "CamelCase" naming method (capitalize each word and remove spaces) to compact the tag window field labels.  For example, the date tags which are a bit long (see pic).

MGD King, your code also does the trick, but zybex's version is compatible with how I layout the text in the higher level thumbnails without having to alter their code, which is what I was after. That said, your snippets are great alternatives and I envision repurposing them in the future for other customized thumbnail text. What you both provided helps me better understand how to manipulate and implement these scripts in the future.

Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.

Not by design but you could use ShellRun() function to launch some music or ambience or whatever whenever you enter. You just need to make sure that it is called only once and not for every file in the opening view. I have actually cook up a system in my movie theme templates which will start playing movies theme music when movie is selected

I dont think find and replace support extended chars or regex. One solution would be to make new calculated field e.g. "Your Large Field (pretty)" which will format your raw field as you like

expression for new field e.g.
Replace(•  [Your Large Field],/ •,<br>•)
Or if you are confident enough you could replace your original field content with something like this
=Replace(•  [this],/ •,<br>•)
Creating new formatted field (first suggestion) would be safer as your original data is still there in case you mess up something with expressions
