[Display] Section (JUKEBOX.INI)


[Display] AnimationSpeed

AnimationSpeed sets the speed of the page change animations. This value can range from 2 to 100. Since this value represents milliseconds between frames, lower numbers are faster. Setting the speed to 0 or Disabled disables page change animations.

Default value: 30

See also: Animation.
[Display] FixedDimension

If a skin does not perfectly match the rotation, either the height or the with must be either clipped or letterboxed to make the display fit. FixedDimension = Height uses the full height of the skin; FixedDimension Width uses the full width of the skin. FixedDimension = Auto uses width for horizontal orientations and height for vertical orientations.

Default value: Auto

[Display] InsertCoinMsg1

[Display] InsertCoinMsg2

InsertCoinMsg1 and InsertCoinMsg2 set the message that appears when a selection is attempted with no credits available. If the jukebox is set to use credits and a selection button is pressed with no credits available, the message specified in InsertCoinMsg1 and InsertCoinMsg2 will be shown on the Upcoming Songs display. If the Upcoming Songs display is set to only display one line, only InsertCoinMsg1 will be shown.

Default value: NO SELECTIONS REMAINING for line 1, INSERT COIN for line 2

[Display] MonitorAspectRatio

The MonitorAspectRatio sets the physical aspect ratio of the monitor, NOT the aspect ratio of the screen resolution. A particular monitor always has the same aspect ratio no matter what resolution it's running in. The aspect ratio of a monitor can be determined by dividing the width of the viewable area by the height. A standard monitor has a 4:3 aspect ratio; 4 divided by 3 is roughly 1.3333334; this is the value that the MonitorAspectRatio should be set to. The aspect ratio needs to be set for the monitor in its horizontal configuration; it will automatically be inverted in a vertical configuration. You should only need to change this if you have a widescreen monitor like the Sony GDM-FW900 which has a 16:10 aspect ratio, or 1.6.

Default value: 1.3333334


[Display] MousePointer

MousePointer points to the file containing a set of Allegro bitmaps representing the mouse pointers. Right now, changing this is only useful if all of the pointers have their hotspot in the same spots as the default pointer file, as the hotspots are currently hardcoded.

Default value: jbdefptr.ptr


[Display] RefreshRate

RefreshRate requests a specific monitor refresh rate. Be careful with this value! Most monitors will not accept an out of range refresh rate, but some older monitors could theoretically be damaged. If in doubt, do not set a refresh rate and the monitor's default will be used.

Default value: Monitor default


[Display] Rotation

Rotation sets the rotation of the display. This value can be specified three different ways; use the one that makes most sense to you.

First, Rotation may be specified in 90 degree clockwise increments. Thus, Rotation = 0 is horizontal, Rotation = 1 is vertical rotated to the right, Rotation = 2 is upside down, and Rotation = 3 is vertical rotated to the left.

Second, Rotation may be specified in degrees, with 0, 90, 180, and 270 being the only supported values.

Finally, rotation may be specified as HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL (or VERTICAL RIGHT), UPSIDE DOWN, or VERTICAL LEFT.

Default value: 0

[Display] Skin

Skin sets the default definition file. It can be either the name of a specific .skn file in the Skins folder, or the name of a folder in the Skins folder containing a .skn file by the same name. It is not necessary to specify the .skn extension.

Default value: Default.skn


[Display] Width

[Display] Height

Width and Height set the screen resolution. The skin will be scaled to fit this resolution, adjusted by the aspect ratio of the monitor. Because of these automatic adjustments, any skin can be used in any resolution and any rotation.

Although any skin can be used at any resolution, use skins especially designed for low resolutions for best results below 640x480.

Note that the Width and Height are for the monitor in its normal horizontal configuration. Thus, even if using a rotated display set the Width and Height appropriately for a non-rotated horizontal display.

Default value: Width=1024, Height=768
