Theater View - Playing Now
« on: March 04, 2009, 07:21:21 am »

I'm usually in theatre view playing now with songs listed above and track / cover art below.  I'm running MC12 and I don't like at all how it displays track info.  I've search the forum but can't find a skin which claims to change this so something slicker.  Anybody know of anything?

Is there a central thread for all new skins?

What don't you like?  How would you change it?

I just generally find the look to be poor and the one look I like doesn't appear to size the album art correctly.  I was hoping for a slicker look and wondered if there was or if I could modify that portion alone.

This is an area we expect to work on in the next month or two.

I also noticed that the PIP doesn't appear when starting MC via "MC13.exe /Mode Theater"

Looking forward to it...in the meantime if anybody has made some mods on this front that they like I'd love to see it.

that happens when standard view starts up with the pip also, so with playing now... its an old bug..

Oooh really!  Yay!

Here's my wishlist:
* Angled cover art (animated between tracks for extra credit)
* An animated position bar/text
* Rating stars that update real-time if you have a remote configured to change them using /MCC commands
* Show any fields you want
* A place for visualizations
* Extend the XML Theater View skin language to configure all this
