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).

    • 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.
