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.  :)

A totally new look?

How totally new is this new look?

Kidding - I'm sure it'll be great :D

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us

I do remember it Barisko, but check out the Mac OS X Panther skin by Martin Deimos: http://www.martin.deimos.de.vu/

It retrieves covers from the web as well as your hard drive, so I plan on using something similiar for clearONE. Also, you can select an image to use if no cover is available. How does that sound?

The old graphics were pretty basic, so I've tried to be creative with the new ones. After all, it isn't called "clear"ONE for nothing.

holy moly that has got to bet he best skin i tried to achieve something like that with foobar but with no luck this sure got it. :D

just a question when i change the song and everything winamp shows the album cover but when i user the coverart there is no image.. is there anyway the image it shows when playing a song is loaded up for the coverart as well?

Also is it possible to make the playlist (window) transparent?

:edit: is there an easier way to have album art for certain albums as i have a few mp3s which dont ahve album art but i can get them fromt eh internet and i dun have my mp3s organized as you have in your screenshot there all in 1 big folder :( so is there anyway?

Nope. You pretty much have to have it the way shown in Axialix's screenshot for the cover art to work. Otherwise you can use 3rd party programs to show coverart for mp3s that are not organised by albums.

As for playlist transparency, go through Window Settings->Opacity and set it at what you'd like.

ssssssssst, here's a secret for ya.... don't tell anybody else.... :)

Axialix is still working on the skin... and it's getting better and better:

post-110624-1128271777_thumb.jpg

and he is planning to add "web-cover-art" feature :happy: . In other words: one day the skin will be able to get ANY cover from the web.

So when that day comes there's no need to place/rename cover-art in the right folder!

thread cleaned

as for making the taskbar like that, it's not going to be easy. technically, the xp theming engine by default cannot handle per pixel/layered transparency (which, as i understand it, windowblinds 5 will be able to do). so you won't be able to get that effect by default.

you have several options. you can use another app that will add that effect, or you can create the "transparent" taskbar bitmap and replace it in the vs (e.g. create the effect manually).

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
