[Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
I had tried a lot of Bowtie themes, but none of them really did what I wanted. So I created what I had imagined.
Basically, One Size Fits All is a simple bar (24 px high) with your basic song info and controls. The unique thing (at least, I haven't seen other themes that do this but they might be out there) is that it adjusts its width to fit your monitor. For instance, my monitor is 1680x1050, so the theme is 1680px wide by 24px high.
I have two monitors so I like to put it at the bottom of my main screen. I tried to make it adjust width on the go, like when your drag it (for people who might move it to another monitor), but I couldn't figure that out. So it just adjusts to the width of the monitor it is opened in.
The theme is actually hard to capture in a small screenshot, so I have a few here.

Not sure why, but your image isn't showing up for me. Do you have the Webdings font? That's what I used for the control buttons.

Seconding the removal of the Now Playing. Obviously that is what is being played. >_>
But, other than that, it's pretty slick. Good work.

Re: [Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
Stars are cut off for me too. And the font is forced to Times New Roman?!
But a good effort.

That's odd. Are the stars cut off to the side or height-wise?
I'll try and work on the suggestions. Thanks for the feedback!

Re: [Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
Here's an updated version. Text is smaller and I used Helvetica this time. Also I'm hoping the issue with stars cutting off will be gone, although I never experienced it myself. But I think the HTML and CSS is better written this time, so hopefully that will fix your issues.
Also, the now playing text has been removed. The music note is moved to the front and a hyphen separates the song and artist.

Re: [Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
That's a lot better
Stars are no longer cut-off, like the font better.

Re: [Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
Strange font problem. I get those numbers instead of the controls too but no matter what font i use, i always get the numbers? Like DINPro, Helvetica-Neue, Arial.. All the same. What's up with this?

Re: [Bowtie Theme] One Size Fits All
I'm using this with my system font, lucida grande ofcourse but its a modded calibri so it looks amazing ! the small text = i can read all song titles, even the really long ones.

@Fliz I think the OP mentioned that you need Webdings installed cuz that's what he used for the controls.
Works for me now too. Looks great! Good job:thumbsup:

Yes, you need Webdings for the controls to display properly.
