good news...4.99.91 is up and will let you to use PNGs for the now playing stars like the album popup does...that way you can skin them any size/way you wish.

if you want to get your stars going you can start by copying the 0-10.png from the ejukeboximagesej remixalbumpop folder and place those images in a new folder imagestheskinnowstars. then you can increase the image dimensions on the files or come up with new bigger stars. also you can include a layout.ini in the nowstars folder containing the following:
[StarPos]
Y=15

Y being the number of pixels from the top of eJukebox to begin the stars. btw they will automatically be centered horizontally.
