I have these on my TODO. Don't know in what order I'll process them :)

 

- Sort albums by year
- Adjustable transparency
- Export of ratings
- Resizable columns
- Improve queuing
- Improving now playing screen
- better positioning of tray controls

How are you adjusting transparency?

Now Playing looks a little... dull.

 

What you you think of doing this?...

Also, the VU meter is really stuttering at the moment.

That's nice. I'll try it out (depends a bit on performance after doing this).

Since when is the spectrum stuttering? Also after restarting Dopamine?

I've missed a few builds, so not sure when the stuttering started. It doesn't look 100% responsive to begin with, even after restarting the whole pc, but when I switch to Now Playing, it really starts to chug.

 

Glad you like the background image idea. I wonder if having it slowly zooming in would be possible/a good idea, maybe even a photo slide show type thing, if you happen to have other album artwork in the folder where the current track is located.

You could try changing the latency back to 100 ms in the options. I increased it to 150 ms by default because I had some complaints about sound clipping. The higher the latency, the slower the spectrum responds.

Didn't even know that was a thing. I'll check it out. Thanks. :)

 

Edit: It was already on 100 ms. Problem persists on everything from 50 to 500 ms

Well I have a crappy computer, and it works here too. What I find strange is that is lags only on the now playing screen...

My puter is also kinda super :D

 

I thought it might have been another app (Adguard) interfering, as the service for it kept using 30% CPU, but I have sorted that now, and the problem is still there.

 

Edit: Just uninstalled and reinstalled Dopamine, but still no joy. My Library didn't need rebuilding, so I take it there is a way to uninstall it even more completely. What folders should I delete, if any?

I just tried mine again, resizing the now playing window and all is working fine, I even put on some drum only stuff and its updating instantly...

 

Dopamine also uses your appdata folder...  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine  make sure this is gone if you uninstall .. this is where I believe the database is kept.

 

Try uninstalling, removing the above folder, reinstall the latest version and see what happens... I hope it fixes it for you...

Hmm, no idea what's causing this. I've never seen it happen before. I'll keep an eye on it.

Is it on Windows 10? If yes, which version?

This app is getting so good. I have't touch ZMKP since I install it. Each update is awesome.

I hope you can find a way to port it to phone and Tablet. Crape even XB1

That's completely right. To uninstall completely, uninstall it from add/remove programs, and delete the folder mentioned above.

Bit better :)

 

I still want to find how how to stop Windows from highlighting the currently active app in the taskbar.

Not the end of the world though.

Ah that's not something I can help you with :D

      You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

      DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
