Rekoil, are you getting more of the errors in your screenshot or was it a one-time thing?

One thing I'd like to clarify is about the modified gen_ml.dll. I've just updated my site with two versions of the plugin. One is for the new Winamp 5.09 and the other is for all lower versions. Sorry if this caused any confusion or unexpected crashes.

random_, did you set the font in Preferences -> General -> Playlist -> Use font: to NonstepNew (or whatever you want)?

Also make sure you have "Media Library uses same font as Playlist Editor" selected in General -> Media Library -> Library Options -> Modify Settings.

The modified gen_ml's only change the font for the buttons in the Media Library, nothing else.

Just noticed this was updated recently, downloaded the new version, and thankfully backed up the old one because im not a big fan of the new slider buttons on the volume and the track placement and the buttons on the white out look worse. It's a great skin, but i like the older one better. Thanks for a great skin!

I am glad you said how to do that I was getting ****ed off. I was playing with the stupid font rendering thing in Modern Skins. :blush:

I've been working on the coverart window size for the past few days and finally got it fixed. It's been a real bitch, but it finally works correctly now. You can either choose from a fixed size (100px/200px/whatever), or set it to display the actual size of your cover.jpg/front.jpg/etc.

Any chance to have it to show the cover set in the tag of each mp3s?

Do you want this skin to be able to show covers located on the web? That's the only difference I see when I downloaded the Cover TAG plugin. That and it can show any image with extension jpg. My skin cannot do this because maki will not accept wildcard characters and I honestly don't know any workaround to that problem yet.

Setting up your coverart to work with my skin is really easy. All you have to do is put your album cover jpg in the directory with your mp3's. Use a file renamer like Magic File Renamer to rename them all to cover.jpg or front.jpg or whatever.

Maybe we don't understand each other (or maybe my english is as bad as I thought...).

I was wondering if there's a way to show the cover art with your skin as MusicMatch does.

The link I gave was only an example of different plugins that do so.

This works fine if you store your mp3s divided into different folders for each album.

But if I want to load a playlist with different mp3s from differend artists/albums stored for example in a folder named "last mp3s downloaded" I can see only one cover.

In MusicMach when I load a playlist of songs taken from "my mp3" folder (which contain all my mp3s not divided into particular folders) I can see the cover set in every tag.

So... if there's a chace to have this it would be a great thing...

However... this skin is damn good anyway!

:happy:

Same thing here. On my machine it's actually listed twice when you right click on winamp, and if you push "alt+L" two instances of it will pop up.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
