Well, now that the mod has been released, I guess now would be a good time to say that although earlier I said that I'd be able to, I will, in fact, NOT be able to update my Ashen Winamp controls for the new color scheme. I started work on (and completed) the new color scheme (using giga's screenshot) about a month ago, but when I was Reshacking them into the control programs, something goofed up and screwed up everything on my computer, eventually forcing me to reformat. All the files for the controls were lost.

I think the original controls (for the gray scheme) are still floating around here on Neowin, and although I'm not particularly willing to risk my system again (by remaking them), I have no problem with somebody else editing them for the new color scheme and releasing them. :)

obake,

I'm sorry about the computer. Here are the files you mentioned...I hope it's all of them.

Thanks, but what I kinda meant by my post was that I'm worried that if I go ahead and make the new color again that it'll screw up my computer like last time. I think I know what I did wrong last time (that caused the computer to f*** up), but I'm not sure, and I don't know if I want to risk messing up the computer again. You know what I mean?

I'll give it a shot and take things slow this time, I suppose.

Wish me luck, and if my computer screws up again, I'm blaming YOU! :laugh: ;)

PHEW! Worked this time!

Here you go, the complete Ashen Winamp Controls set!

This set includes Play/Pause, Stop, Next, Last, Playlist, and Volume controls in both the Blue and the Gray schemes.

I should note, however, that I don't think the Playlist control works, but don't blame me. All I did was stick my icons in the programs that I had.

Questions or comments, either reply here or PM me.

Thanks!

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
