@ rumbus Thank you! 1. it's an issue with the last foobar_winamp_spam plugin version; try the old one that you can find here: http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/foobar/ 2. there's nothing wrong; what you'd like to requires a foobar2000 plugin in order to work; if you know someone who codes foobar2000 plugins that'll be an easy task to accomplish; I can't do nothing about it.

@ Borix Look what OtisBee did: Download: http://www.zshare.net/download/celluloid-enthusiast-zip.html

Borix The little "Oscars" is a nice suggestion indeed!

@ lid It'll be better to let such progress bar shadow to the skin itself (case.png) as KSoft did with his "Tiger" skin: Great skin by the way!

Place a third "Textbox" and instead MsgBox "XXXX" just write textbox3.text = "XXXX", where "textbox3" is the third textbox name.

You should install RC6 first: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/CD_Ar...ay/1109367710/1 Then see the Readme.txt in order to make the new build work properly. Finally, don't delete "Case" skin.

CD Art Display RC6 Build 1071 (05Apr2007) CAD 1.0 final is almost ready. This is a major beta release with a lot of news: Skinnable lyrics viewer (lyrics.png) ID3 (unsync) lyrics frame tag support New mirror effect engine ("Control Panel>Effects") New rotation feature ("Control Panel>Effects") New transition based on image transparency New floating and skinnable toolbar buttons that is shown on mouse over (toolbar.png) Options for toolbar in Control Panel New text tags to display time anywhere: %00:00% and %-00:00% Notifier alike appearance style ("Control Panel>Options") Removed some old and unecessary code for text position since CAD has pad top and left for all lines (all skins will need adjustments tho) Minimize (Hide) on Stop for players that support stop status message Vista tweaks (user folder for some procedures instead the application one; removed pin to desktop since Vista won't pin a layered form as XP does - there isn't a solution for that) Round rectangle area for cover and its mirror ("Control Panel>Effects") 14Apr2007 - Always on Top added to the Skinned Lyrics context menu 14Apr2007 - small bug fixed 19Apr2007 - reduced 3 steps to make the mirror effect (it should be faster now) 19Apr2007 - lyrics hotkey will show the skinned viewer now 20Apr2007 - New "Circles" progress bar 20Apr2007 - Added Height to progress bar 20Apr2007 - Added Anti-aliasing option to progress bar 20Apr2007 - Fixed some progress bar issues if the skin has a background.png 20Apr2007 - Fixed transparent "nocover.png" issue (it was just black) 22Apr2007 - Skinned progress bar (*) 22Apr2007 - Included the new iCAD2 skin by KSoft 24Apr2007 - soft shadow/halo thanks to LaVolpe 24Apr2007 - some improvements and bugs fixed 26Apr2007 - Added "Click through" ("Control Panel>Options") 26Apr2007 - small improvements and bugs fixed 02May2007 - Added mouse wheel volume control in "Options" 02May2007 - Added "Show in track change" in "Options" (**) 02May2007 - Added Shadow option in "Lyrics" 02May2007 - Added prev and next page to the Lyrics context menu 02May2007 - Added mouse wheel to change Lyrics page 02May2007 - Added "Troubleshooting" node in "Control Panel" 02May2007 - Added custom position in "Troubleshooting" (may be useful for dual monitors) 02May2007 - Added "Force read mode" for ID3 cover tag in "Troubleshooting" (***) 02May2007 - Adjusted text soft shadow 02May2007 - Fixed mouse wheel volume control bug 05May2007 - Added vertical toolbar support (****) 05May2007 - "Control Panel>Effects" tweaks 05May2007 - A skin may have a "backeffect.png" that will be drawn before case/cover (*****) (*) Every step in the progress bar is a png (I did 21 images) but it's up to the skinner to decide how many pngs will be used. I did this way so even a circled or curved progress bar can be made. See skins in zip as a sample. (**) CAD will be placed in the foreground when a new song is played; for now this feature will not work if CAD is pinned to the desktop. (***) the default setting is unchecked so if you want the old way to handle ID3 cover tag just check the option (****) see the great "What's on TV" skin by OtisBee with vertical toolbar support: http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=268 (*****) Meet "Celluloid" skin (that uses "backeffect.png") by OtisBee here: http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=270 Note - RC6 is required (install it first) - In the zip you'll find the main executable, the "Case" skin with some extras and required files (including skin.ini updated), a "Round Cover" skin to see the new feature easily and the new iCAD2 by KSoft - If you still don't know what to do wait for the 1.0 final that will include an installer because this build is for users who like to test beta software and know how to handle basic issues - A skin can use a "casebackground.png" for the cover area (for a better transition) but it's optional. The default skin ("Case") use it by the way.

Coming soon: Skinnable progress bar Horizontal (graphics from KSoft): Vertical: Every step in the progress bar is a png (I did 21 images) but it's up to the skinner to decide how many pngs will be used. I did this way so even a circled or curved progress bar can be made. ////Edited: it's ready and with the new iCAD2 skin by KSoft! Download: http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/cadrc6b914.zip Details: http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic...der=asc&start=0 ////Edited: thanks to the help from a great Guy soft shadow will follow in next build (there'll be some limitations but it'll work in most of the skins):

The first build of the new version is ready for testing! Go here and read the topic carefully: http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=250

CAD searches and save lyrics as a text file only. Next build it'll read ID3 unsync lyrics tag too. RC6 is stable and it seems to work better with iTunes 7 due the SDK update. The requirements are: For XP: VB runtime 6 SP6 For Vista: VB runtime 5 and 6 VB runtime 6: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en VB runtime 5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...CD-8911B6034C20 In order to make things easier: 1. uninstall CAD 2. close you player 3. install the runtime 4. install CAD 5. start your player 6. start CAD Do not delete the default CAD skin which is "Case". Note that both runtimes are not packed because most of the users already have them since some softwares use them too.

Are you having issues with winamp spam? Most of the players SDKs are not so VB6 friendly. What I always find interesting is that iTunes has one of the best support for all programming languages. iTunes from Apple... Go figure. WMP11 seems to just block a direct contact with its player. WMP from Microsoft... Go figure! Anyway, when and if I find a way I'll add a direct support. Thanks! It's never too late!

Go to "Control Panel>Options" and uncheck "Balloon" In fact I have made another mirror engine that draws just once and you can set its size too. I'm still testing it but I think next week I'll be able to release a test build. A screenshot with another new feature "round corner for cover area": What's coming next: Skinnable lyrics viewer - see screenshot below ID3 (unsync) lyrics frame tag support New mirror effect with options in Control Panel New rotation feature with options in Control Panel New transition effect based on image transparency New floating and skinnable toolbar buttons that is shown on mouse over Explicit settings in Control Panel to set and disable/enable invisible buttons Time will be a tag (like %title%) and it will be placeable in any of the 3 lines (see screenshot below) 08Apr07: CAD will explicitly have a notifier alike appearance style along with the current styles 08Apr07: Removed some old and unecessary code for text position since CAD has pad top and left for all lines (all skins will need adjustments tho) 09Apr07: Minimize (Hide) on Stop for players that support stop status message 09Apr07: Vista tweaks (user folder for some procedures instead the application one; removed pin to desktop since Vista won't pin a layered form as XP does - there isn't a solution for that) 11Apr07: start working with round rectangle area for cover and its mirror

So there isn't an equalizer... I thought I was blind or something like that! :D For me an equalizer is not necessary. Regarding 0.3: it seems that the system tray icon is not in high resolution, is it? Thank you for the update!

Is there an equalizer? :confused: I think I won't win the prize.

I was about to ask that too!

Build 361 (05Apr2007) released. See initial post.

KSoft Usually if you set the window(*) with the "WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW" long parameter too (I say too because I think you already use "WS_EX_LAYERED") programs such as TaskSwitchXP don't list it. (*) SetWindowLong API

Thanks KSoft! I loved the new features! Your art work just amazes me!

DeskPhoto Beta 3 Build 329 (29Mar2007) released. See initial post.

DeskPhoto Beta 3 Build 235 (28Mar2007) released. See initial post.

You're right Sranshaft. I'll change maybe for "View picture" and "Open picture location" (used if I'm not wrong by WMP11). In addition, the reported bug was fixed. See initial post. Thank you again for your feedback!

Thank you. I'll fix the error. The only way to add pictures is by drag-and-drop them (at least for now). The "Open picture" will open the current picture with the default image viewer and teh "Open folder" will open the image location (Explorer).

DeskPhoto Beta 3 Build 235 (28Mar2007) This is the first forum beta of the new DeskPhoto. The program was rewritten from scratch but it has all the old features plus: Build 143 (25Mar2007): - Rotation - Floating toolbar (that is shown on mouse over) - Text (support EXIF and file tags) - Better recent slide list Build 170 (26Mar2007) - Fade in/out when starting/exiting DP - New default skin thanks to KSoft - Small bugs fixed Build 211 (27Mar2007) - Mirror effect added (*) - Pin skin by Zaft with mirror added Build 219 (27Mar2007) - Bug fixed Build 235 (28Mar2007) - Max letters added - Scan folder added to menu - Recursive scan added - Bugs fixed Build 329 (28Mar2007) - Fixed reported crashes - Some general improvements Build 361 (05Apr2007) - Improved fade effects (*) this is the next mirror engine to be added in CD Art Display; unlike the mirror in CAD that draws the effect each second this new engine draws the effect just once; in addition you can set the size and strength of the mirror effect tho the second setting will always depend on the first one (test and you'll know what I mean). Just the picture itself is mirrored (if you'd like to add a mirror to a full frame skin then you have to change the frame png adding a mirror via an image editor) Just unzip the files in a folder, start DeskPhoto and drag som pictures over it. The first toolbar button displays a context menu; the second add the current picture to the "favorites". The last 3 are navigation buttons (prev, start/pause, next). If DP is focused you can use the keyboard to go to the previous picture (backspace or left arrow) or the next one (space or right arrow). To set the file association go to "Control Panel>Options". The old skins settings can't be used. Note just the old settings. The graphics can be used. You only have to adjust it through Control Panel. See the Default skin to see the required files. NOTE: If you like to test beta software and you're using XP disable Dr. Watson legacy; just Google it and make the registry changes. Dr. Watson can create up to 3 instances related to the program that crashes making you believe that you can't end it through Task Manager. Screenshot (Default skin by KSoft) Download Requirements: Windows Vista or XP and Visual Basic runtime 6 SP6. http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/dpb3b361.zip Have fun!

I'll test it as soon as possible. Anyway, really nice look! I think you did it, right? When you have time maybe you could make a skin (frame) for the upcoming DeskPhoto 2007 (http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=239). Congratulations again! ////Edited: WOW!! That's great!! Thank you KSoft for another great app!!!!!!!
