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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
