Carlospr Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thank you all for you support and feedback! What about a little history since WCC is one year old! Alpha Zero (Feb 2005): - I'm testing it for the first time - Cover resizing without bicubic filter Alpha 1 to 9 (Feb to Mar 2005) - Althought released as an Alpha program a FileForum user said it was the worst program ever - During Alpha stage several options were added and a real simple skin support implemented - Cover resize with bicubic filter - Case just a gif image (no transparency) Beta 1 to 11 (Apr to Dec 2005) - PNG support for case an notifier - Added new options - Better skin support - Some users still like Beta 10 due some radical changes in RC 1! RC 1 to 2 (Feb to Mar 2006) - PNG used as font RC 3 (Apr 2006) - Thanks to KSoft help the notifier text was implemented the way I've always wanted - Lots of new features that you're testing right now! More than one year of work, great feedback and some new friends! Thank you again and... well you know... Have fun! Link to comment
KSoft Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for great application Carlos! And great history also. Link to comment
tehloxely Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 @Carlos: I was wondering..... why did you get rid of the stop button? Link to comment
Carlospr Posted April 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 @tehloxely: just to simplify the interface; "Stop" was also removed from the context menu for the same reason; real buttons (like the ones in the alpha version) can be added in a skin (just a design matter); improved support for real buttons plus animation are planned.

Borix Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Great work Carlos! Just gets better and better Is there a skin which has play buttons? Link to comment
nomis_nehc Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 this is working great! finally got around to play with the notifier, loving it. thanks for the great job! Link to comment
Mr. B Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Great work as always. I really enjoy this app and finaly have covers downloaded for nearly all of the hundreds of albums in my MP3 collection.The Winamp starter plugin still doesn't work for me though (v2.90). When enabled, it clears my playlist on start and I have three items, CD, CD, and Case.[edit]One more nitpick. it looks like the fade effect now affects the skin as well as the cover art... was better when it just faded the cover and the 'case' remained constant.[/edit] Link to comment
Carlospr Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 WCC RC3 Build 10 (05 Apr 2006) - Fixed balloon bug - Set song's rate by clicking the fancy rating - Right click the fancy rating to set no rating Removed due new build. Have fun! Link to comment

nomis_nehc Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 i guess this is a different type of question... but i was wondering if it would be possible to have the song display in other languages? for example, i have some asian songs and what is shown are just messed up characters.

Zaft Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 It is not a fault of WCC. Make sure you have the latest version of Winamp and then read this thread http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=237755 Hope that helps. Link to comment

I can't do nothing about the plugin since one of the dll is a third party module.WCC displays the case and cover as one image only, that's why the fade was changed. Link to comment
