Information Field Hidden in Darkbox Skin

Posted on by

Question:

I have a question about the “Darkbox” skin. The “Information” field is hidden by the play, forward and rewind buttons (see the attached pic). How can that be solved?

Answer:

In step 2, Skins dialog, CSS tab, find the following CSS code:

#amazingaudioplayer-AUDIOPLAYERID .amazingaudioplayer-text {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 4px;
    height: 42px;
}

And you can change the height value to make it larger:

#amazingaudioplayer-AUDIOPLAYERID .amazingaudioplayer-text {
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 4px;
    height: 60px;
}
