can the 'playlist.exe' button be modified to use the eject function in winamp? I don't quite understand why whenever i find winamp controls for anything the eject button is left out. Currently right now when i hit that playlist button all it does is bring my winamp to the front, it doesnt even open the playlist.

Damned if I know. :laugh:

I just included the controls because people were asking for them; I don't know how they work, and I don't remember where I got them. All I did was Reshack the programs to include the Ashen icons rather than the default ones. As for the Playlist program not even bringing up the playlist, I'm guessing that it's an incompatibilty with WA5, but that's just speculation on my part. I've looked online for an answer to why the Playlist thing doesn't work (you're not the first who's asked this), and I couldn't even find a website for the original controls.

I'm sure that it's possible to do what you're asking, but I have NO idea how to do it, or where to even begin.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I guess youre pointing out that when an option is inactive the disabled text looks seemingly invisible?

I can see WHY it could be a problem, but perhaps it was designed to be like that?

Otherwise, edit it yourself, open up the XML for the scheme in something like dreamweaver or wordpad, and ask it to find the colour value for the disabled text (as in search for something like 

STATE Name="Disabled"

and the ncheck under it to see if it has "color" or "TextColor" property, and remember that color value).

Then, choose to replace the said color value with a new one (make it a darker colour, say, take 30 off each RGB value) and choose to "replace all".

Assuming the colour isnt *quite* the same as the background colour, it will change the colour to a readable one. Otherwise you'll have to do it all manually.

it will be fixed in the update, i didnt think it was a huge enough problem to require an emergency update. i'm busy. leave me alone........kiiiidding.... xoxoxox

in all seriousness, i am busy right now, i *may* release giga's mod seperately, if the ashen update takes too long..... giga and i are working on something new, and the changes made in the ashen mod were inspired by that theme... so look forward to that.

    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
