Updated, finally got my rainmeter configs done for Window Media Player! When WMP is not running the album cover, titles, and buttons all hide. Added third digit to the Temp meter since I am living in SoCal and it gets in the triple digits here. O_o Brightened up the bars and added the transparent backgrounds back in.

Thanks to the author of Black Glass for Rainmeter, I have totally redone your code, but it has inspired me!

I added the ability to turn volume up or down by hovering the mouse pointer over the album cover and using the mouse wheel up or down. I love it!

Thank you!

Off base, but is anyone else recently seeing "broken image" links from random users posting their screenshot through Neowin's attachment feature?

Yes looks like image fail...including the one I attached last night... I will attach mine again and see if it goes better...

Right click the link and click on "Reload image" or something along those lines. This works for me though the Admins/Developers should know about this.

also how did you get all the office icons to group like that?

cheers.

Most of the rainmeter stuff you can find at Deviantart. I Think I covered it? I could be wrong

Very nice! I'm just curious, what music player is that and if or if that's used by Rainmeter, where can I find it and can you use it with Foobar?

Thank you.

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.

      In the boot options in the UEFI is set to legacy or CMS? It needs to be set to UEFI if it's not already.
