What Media Monkey Version to use.
I am thinking it might be a good idea to keep the setup for the last 2.5.5 media monkey version if you have a small cpu on an old 9x windows version computer. why? well the new media monkey 3 is going to be able to do so much more in way of skinning and editing that the smaller cpu's might just not beable to handle it. so keep that last 2.5.5 realse set up just incase you need to put your old system back on the old media monkey.
Adding image on the list view area of mm 3 skins
this is an example of how to get the images to show up in mm 3 skins. they are in need of being put on the long strip image in little images of this size it is best to use seemless images for this.
the reason is that the mm 3 skins pull the image to the right and stop when the first area used, gets that first 1/4th inch of the image to fill that area's background.
the measurement was taken by the ruler bar of the photo editor.
when the image was zoomed in on for better editing. so the image will be pulled but only so far.
then the next 1/4th inch will be used to make the background. but it is pulled very far it looks like about, 6 times the lenght of the 1/4th inch.
So it will get a little fuzzy but as you can see it does work.
don't just shrink the image down sideways, you also have to shrink it down from the top in order to, keep the ratio of the image looking proper, when the skin exe pulls it out.
