Two questions about skins (1 Viewer)

[BugsBunny]

1) Top Bar:
In some skins (like MCE) the topbar only is displayed in the main screen

and on other screens this topbar type:

does not get displayed.
That is what I would like for other skins as well. I've tried different options of the topbar plugin, but the topbar is always displayed. If I disable the topbar plugin, the topbar in the main screen disapears as well
As I use a remote control I only need the topbar in the main screen - is there any way I can configure this for eg. BlueTwo or MePo green?

2) Aspect ratio of CD cover art:
Not sure, but I think since using 0.2.1 the cover always get's displayed in a square form not retaining the original aspect ratio. Some cover art comes from CD boxes that contains 3 or more CDs which is rectangular or CD singles that are not square either. These images get distorted.
Is there a way to get the cover art displayed with the original aspect ratio?

Thanks
BB

1) open the file topbar.xml in a text editor. Replace the file contents with the following code (which comes from the mce skin):

<window>
	<id>3005</id>
	<defaultcontrol>10</defaultcontrol>
	<allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
	<autohide>yes</autohide>
<controls>
</controls>
</window>

2) You might have to be more specific as to which screens you would like the aspect ratio changed. For each screen you would like to change, you would probably have to edit to the corresponding xml file; find the code that displays the thumb and add the following tag to that control:

<keepaspectratio>yes</keepaspectratio>

Thanks Boilermaker!
1) worked fine
2) had to change one more thing from yes to no:

<zoom>no</zoom>

Now it's all perfect.

cheers
