Strange Black Box @ Top Of Music Menu Screen in Default Skin

Postby thekochs on Tue Sep 19, 2006 9:09 pm

I have Steven's Default skin loaded and looks great. However, there is a black box at top of Music Menu screen that shows nothing and look out of place. I'm reading how to skin edit and look to see what this shows as in the editor but was wondering if anyone has seen this and if I'm missing something. My MP3s/Music import/load fine with coverart and show fine.

This "box" is above the yellow horizontal bar on the screen at top. For Movies, Pictures, etc. the yellow bar is there but no odd black box above it.

Thanks.

If it is what I'm thinking (dark box right in the middle) it contains the following:
audioplayer>now>%genre% - Displays album genre
audioplayer>time>%elapsed% / %total% - Displays time elapsed/total
audioplayer>now>%year% - Displays Album year

If you aren't seeing the information, then the text is too large for its display box. There are actually three display boxes and can be modified in the skin editor under the Default tab.

Hope this was helpful.

Probably it......I also saw that in my DVD/Movie menu when I clicked on the coverart that the movie desciption box came up but some of the text was not shown.....like cut off some of the end. Is this also a font size issue I should reduce down in Skin Editor ?

Yep, that is also another option...decrease the font size.
