Is anyone else having a problem with this and Winamp 5.1?  For me, Winamp will close almost immediately after opening.

You need to replace gen_ml.dll with axialix's modified one and all will be well. Doesn't anyone read instructions anymore? :no:

For those of you having problems with Winamp 5.1 and this skin, please try the version attached (rename to clearONEbeta.wal if desired). I finally got mine to work, hopefully this one will work for you too.

BTW, I'm working on another gen_ml.dll for Winamp 5.1 (the new one for 5.1 is a bit larger). You can still use the one on my site for 5.09, but it's NOT required. All it does is change the font and size of the ML buttons, that's all. If you're happy with the standard MS Serif font, then there's no need to use mine.

:D Thanks Sky, you're right. This skin really needs to be finished.

Also, I don't want this thing breaking with every new version of Winamp. And since there seems to be a lot of confusion over my versions of the gen_ml anyway, I might just remove them all from my site. However... I have updated my site with the new gen_ml.dll for 5.1. I was wrong about the 5.09 dll working with Winamp 5.1, it crashes it immediately. Sorry about that.

I don't get it...I updated to 5.1 from 5.094 with clearONE already installed, and Winamp crashed a few seconds after starting it. I replaced the updated gen_ml.dll with your 5.09 replacement .dll, and it worked fine. The same thing happened to a few other people when updating to 5.1 as well. I installed the modified skin files you put up earlier reverting back to the updated .dll, and it also works. You're saying it's the other way around? :wacko: Either way, it's working. Thanks for your hard work on this.

Whilst this is an amazing skin, is it just me that has trouble docking the player at the top and setting to autohide? If i do that, the window just disappears completely. I know its still there as I can right click and get the menus, but there are no graphics being shown. I then have to shut winamp, change to default skin and then put back to Clearone :blink:

I'm having a problem with the font settings... I installed the font file, but in some areas of the skin, ex. playlist and media library, it shows up in the default winamp font. I don't know what I can do to change it..

This is such a great theme, just wish I could get this font problem sorted out :unsure:

Just to let you know, I have been using the skin for months, and am well aware of the installation procedure. Thanks axialix for updating this to address the issue.

Abandoned, press F5 when the skin disappears, that should bring it right back.  This is a bug with Winamp itself, it happens with all skins.

Frappe, see the screenshot to change the PL and ML fonts to NonstepNew.

Worked a charm, thanks for that, never noticed it before but not used winamp in a while :jump:

Yes, there will be a final release. I'm working on it right now, but it's rather slow because of my busy schedule. I've already added a few items (main window freeze, notifier stay on top option, etc.) and given it a totally new look, but there's still a lot left to do.

I do want to thank everyone for the continued interest. You won't be disappointed. :)

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
