By the way, when you have some free time please join CAD skin forum:

It'll be really great to have your skin(*) there!! :)

Will defiantly join your forums soon (Y)

I was also wonder if it would be possible to, when using the "center" option for a text line be some able to adjust the margins. For example If I have the text to be centered underneath my case.png, but I also have my skin at the edge of the screen, the text will trail off the screen. Is there a way i can set a margin so the text, when long, won't trail off screen, but still be centered when the text is short?

if that makes sense...

@ freedom77

I'm glad you'll join skins forum! :)

You can set the width area where the text will be drawn ("Control Panel>Text area").

This way e.g. you can set a width so the text area matches the case area.

I hope I was clear.

I don't think the text area width can set the way I want it, it's hard to explain so I made some example images to show you:

I like to have CAD in the bottom right corner of my screen. So if I center the text underneath the case, it looks great, but if the song title is too long it trails off the screen:

It would be cool if you could make it like this; the red lines representing the margins, so I could adjust the center margin while still keeping the text on screen if the name is too long.

@ freedom77

You have to use Right alignment instead Center.

Then just move the text at the bottom of the case.

It'll work like your last screenshtot.

[freedom77]

lol, I think I am a bit fussy with this. But if I set it to right alignment, then it won't center when the name is short.

Here's a right alignment example:

Here's what I am trying to do:

Basically I want to center the text, but have a margin on the right so that it won't go off screen with bigger names, but yet will be centered with short names.

I love this software!!!

My only request would be to have a skin that will utilize my 500x500 album art... The zoom feature works great, but the skin looks faded...

thanks

Nooooooo: Bandwidth Limit Exceeded :(

@ freedom77

Sorry but that kind of dynamic alignment is not possible yet.

@ thailer

500x500? It sounds like a skin request! :)

In July(*) visit CAD skins forum and make a request. I'm sure you'll get what you want. ;)

(*) bandwidth exceeded in June

@ Jase

Right now I can't afford more bandwidth tho I spend the few donations CAD gets to pay the hoster.

But in July everything should work fine.
