Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
looks cool, the only thing that bugs me with most themes that include rating is that there's no way to remove the whole rating, in other words to give 0 stars

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
I like it a lot! It's one of my favorites.
I'd like to request a version to be used on the right side of the screen. (With the text at the left of the artwork.)
Thanks!![]()

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
Really great job, my new favorite theme!
Is there a way to have the time count up instead of down?
Thanks!

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
Anyone mind helping me? I'm trying to mod this slightly so that the time is Position/Total or something similar. I can use the code from dr.vox's mod for the Position, but how would I add the total into there?

Gorgeous, but unfortunately useless for me without controls and at this size.
Still really great job! ![]()

Sorry, only just saw this 10 mins ago, Josh.

Sidenote and explanation:
Interesting learning experience for me — I really don't have much or any experience with javascript, so it was a good trial and error session. ![]()
First I tried creating a new function, called updateLength, which pretty much copied the original updateTime but Bowtie didn't want to draw that — even with a CSS div defined. Thinking back now, it's because Bowtie only draws a set amount of stuff it specifies itself, right? Well, only that which appears in the API obviously...
So I realised I needed to just encorporate the "/ length" into the updateTime function.
Here is the new updateTime code:
Code:
function timeUpdate()
{
if (iTunes.currentTrack().property('title') == undefined) {
$('time').innerHTML = "";
} else {
var length = Math.round(iTunes.currentTrack().property('length'));
var position = iTunes.playerPosition();
var remain = position;
var seconds = remain % 60
var seconds = (seconds < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + seconds;
var lensec = length % 60
var lensec = (lensec < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + lensec;
var time = Math.floor(remain/60) + ":" + seconds + "/" + Math.floor(length/60) + ":" + lensec;
$('time').innerHTML = time;
}

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
This is a great theme, but I would like to modify it in two ways:
(1) I would like to display the album name above the track title.
(2) I would like to increase the font size a bit.
Can someone give me some pointers on how to do that? I messed with the package contents a bit, but wasn't able to achieve what I want.
Thank you.

For point 2, mess with the CSS file. If you know what you're doing you'll get somewhere.
With number one I'm too lazy to say much, but just open the html file in a text editor and you could get results.

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
Brilliant work! I do hope to start seeing some themes with love/ban buttons in the future though. ![]()

Happy to change the size if that's too large/small or whatever.
Edit: Explanation:
the font size, as said before, is in the style.css file — simply change all the 'font: 14px' parts to whatever size you want.
As for the album art, you need to use index.html for this too.
You first need to define a new variable — simply done in the trackUpdate function by copying the artist-retrieving line ($('artist').innerHTML = track.property('artist') || ""
and replacing 'artist' with 'album'.
Then you need to define a new CSS div for it, so go back to style.css and copy the #artist div, replace 'artist' with 'album' again, and then change its positioning to 16px above the #title (which is at 97px, so #album is at 81px).

Re: [Bowtie] Hydera
Awesome updates everybody -- and thanks @GoSco for the original!
I'm new to Bowtie and didn't know it used html/css to do the themes -- awesome! -- I'm going to have a lot of fun now ![]()

Whilst I appreciate the kind words, I just love the fact that you ignored the readme file and breached the Creative Commons license that was inside. See.
I also love the fact that none of you even asked for my permission to edit this theme regardless of any licenses involved.
