This is a skin I made for my own project using a netbook. thanks to the
Joggler skin guys as I was able to take some from there to get the
layout right. 

The skin itself is set for 1024x600 or typical netbook resolution. I
updated the wallpaper graphics and file such that the wallpaper is full
screen for the included wallpapers. I updated all of the clock layouts
and graphics such that they show up more correctly on the screen
instead of offset to the left side. This annoyed me when using strictly
the joggler skin at 800x600 and 1024x600 and I imagine the same issue is
with the joggler 800x480 skin as well. I did not comment things at all
as I was literally just "try this" until I found settings that looked
ok. You should be able to compare the files, though, to see what
changes I made. The analog, digital, and dot matrix clocks all are
correct. I did not mess with the radial clock, though... 

I also have sent Erland a comment about making the Album Flow and
Custom Clock plugins not default to the "controller" setting for
Squeezeplay resolutions. I edited the Album Flow file so that it shows
up like itunes cover flow with large artwork in the center of the
screen. I only edited the settings for the circular setting (I think?)
as it was the one I planned to use. The custom clock app I also edited
to fool it into thinking the Squeezeplay player is a touch, but I
didn't do much with trying to get the layouts on those clocks set for
this resolution

Also with help from Erland, I found how to change the font to what I
wanted it to be. I included a sample font file with instructions in
case you might want to change fonts. The ones I have in there are a
font called Wide Glide and are related to a project I am working on.

The splash screen can also be changed and I included my edited
version... it isn't much, but it works for now

This does work on my Windows 7 ultimate netbook... I have no way to
test it on other platforms... And I may really be the only person who
had a need or want for this anyway.

I believe I made it so that this was the only skin that was
available... but that may have been one of my trials that I got rid
of.

I am not a programmer by any means... I am a logical trial and error
type person. I will help if I can, but I am limited

I attached my project I am working on. The rendering does not reflect
the font changes. This uses a Dell Mini 9 for the processing and screen
and I added a resistive touch screen. All presets are mapped to
favorites in squeezeplay as well as a couple instant access buttons to
the squeezebox server and to start squeezeplay. The joystick on the
left is for playback control. The knob on the right is currently a
Griffin Power Mate although I hope to build more of these and integrate
an encoder into the development board I am using to interface to the
computer.I am intending to run a squeezebox server on the same machine
and might add the Radio Shark to it as well. It has 2 3x5 speakers with
15 watts per channel in a sealed enclosure design... Sounds actually
pretty good. I have most of the electronics done and am waiting on
finishing up the cabinet and painting it now. This whole skin, though,
is done for this design. I did an 800x600 version as well for a vintage
radio conversion I finished a few weeks ago

The files for the skin can be downloaded from below. DO NOT BOTHER
ERLAND ABOUT THE FILES I EDITED. Those are my creations and he has
enough issues without having to deal with my bastardized versions... I
will help with those if I can.
