Skinning Questions, Suggestions and Ideas

Is it possible to include tag info other than Title and Artist in the display?
I'd like to display info like album and year, that'd be cool 8)

Thanks in advance.

Tried it?


Thanks! Now... by any chance, do you know the layer names that must be used?

I've just updated the Layer information on the Help page to include these, but here is a quick run down:

To use them you would call your layers as follows:

Code: Select All Code
track title

or
Code: Select All Code
track artist


etc

You can actually combine a couple in the same string to create custom scrollers, but I don't recommend doing this as you can't dictate the order just yet.

For example:
Code: Select All Code
track title artist year


Will produce something like:
Code: Select All Code
Killing The Right - The Living End - 1996


It won't matter what order the title artist year is in above, the internal ordering is as follows:

Title, Aritst, Album, Year, Genre, Comment.

So like I said, if you do use this, stick to just 1 unless you really don't mind about the order.

Hope that help!
