Eagle BlueTouch & RedTouch Skin

[Aarik]

First of all LOVE the skin, I just found it and haven't completed my project yet. however, I was testing kiosk mode with my mouse(will be using touch screen), when you search and find what you are looking for does it present a problem that the album/song list doesn't open to large buttons like the normal selection(for touch screen use)? Did I miss something I am still a little Giddy about the app in general.

Sorry, I do not fully understand what you mean. If you tried things from the right-click menu then it is normal (at least with this skin) that it does not work as expected. For testing this skin with a mouse only use left-single-click.

If I misunderstood could you describe what you did exactly and what ths skin did different from your expectations?

I am just saying, lets say you want to see if I have "Dancing Queen on my SWEET juke so you tap "search then "D", "a", "n" ect. then hey great I see the album cover and "list of songs under correct? however it is in "normal font size I was wondering if the size of the font (plus I was not even sure as a fist time user if this was tapable(clickable) cause a false choice. I am assuming that is why when in normal mode you use LARGE song choice font ect... after choosing an album.

I think now I understand what you mean. I could make it so that if you click in the searchresults, you end up with the album window (but only with the tracks from the serach results available).

There are two problems with that:
1) I cannot color the searchresult substrings in that screen. Just a minor problem, but not nice.
2) If I make it so I am sure the next person on the list will complain it now takes more clicks ('touches') to select the song...

The real problem is that I can present the searchresults only using Silverjukes own screenlayout, I do not have any control over it's looks and the size of the tracks. You could change the fontsize in the options, but that will effect all screens and does not really work that well.

Maybe I'll make it so that if you tap the album cover you go to the window with the searched tracks, and if you tap a songtitle the behaviour stays the same. I'll put it on my 'idea-list'.

Like I said ... Love it and GREAT job, I am sure it will work fine. I guess I must just think I have sausage fingers :)

Hi All,

Small bugfix to the skin: it was not possible to return from a visualization without using the keyboard.

Seems I did not test that very well, but it was not used much either

Enjoy,

It is intentional, on load it puts the volume at 100% and the mic-volume at 0%. The reason is this skin is intended as a party skin or standalone jukebox skin, where normally the volume is not allowed to be changed by the user, but only by the party host using the volume on the amp system.

If you can unpack & repack a zip (using winzip or whatever), you can change the main.sj script inside the .sjs skin yourself. Use notepad or any other editor, and remove the line (linenr 94 in my current version) "player.volume=255;" or change it to any value between 0 and 255 you want.

Note that the skin has no way to change to volume, but maybe you have a keyboard attached and use shortkey for that purpose?

Sorry about that. Just found the posting (yours probably) from July 14, somehow I just overlooked it.

Well, besides the one I posted the teaser for - which you obviously already know about as you posted there - there is nothing in the making.

I was really hoping for a new Silverjuke release with native support for clickable album-art, in fact the only thing you'd need to create any touchscreen friendly skin at all. Unfortunately nothing did coming forward. Besides that my daytime job currently is a bit too close to the stuff I need to do for the teaser skin, and I do not feel that inclined to spend my free time in the same area.

But then again, the fact that this year's contest has a theme makes it a rather interesting challenge...
