for that area just make the skin black.
that should cover the area of the skin that is not behind any album art.
but you do not have this trouble in the main album view window right?
it can only be on the skin caused by the image area having to be hard coded in.
so when it shows the album cover the area of the skin that is changed by the shape of the cover
is using the client image to show in the hole for the square album art.
if you make the client image black you lose fonts or images some place else on the skin or in the theme.
i've never had odd shaped album art, but the only way for this to be fixed is to have rusty or one of the
other developers make the album art view in the player skin with in the code of the program and have it vector
to the size of the album art. and still allow the skinners to place that album art area where they want it on the skin.
and also how that would effect overlays for album art some put in the skins i don't know.
i know mac tried to use mortens default skin to copy when he did this. and morten took shortcuts with his scripting skills that and used the virtural tree object a lot in it which makes it very hard for newbie's or new to monkey skinners to copy.
but mac got this good for his first skin.
just wish he would come back and update it some time.?
edited in this.
of course if you switch to a skin that has an image there for when there is no album art shown as in when your not even playing a song you just started monkey and its sitting there with the word mediamonkey in the title scroll area, then said skin should have image there for artwork area to be located by. like my skins of
these with art on the players, i always put an image on the player that is to be seen instead of just the client when started like that.
jungle monkees have the album art on the float player i think?
trucking monkey does.
the musicbringers pub does.
esthetic hi fi has it on the float player also and a few others might have it on the float player
i rarely put it on the main player.
so check with one of them or another one and if you see an image showing behind the album art on odd shaped cover art then we know you can put an image marker on the skin's background bmp and it will be seen instead of the client.
