are you sure that transparency doesn`t work? i mean "glass" is veeeery dark and doesn`t seem to be real transparent. i got the transparency (bottom player) with this settings:

Right-Click the Winamp-Icon in the taskbar -> Options -> ClearONE -> Sytle -> First tick Glass, Second tick ClearBG.

I hope you can get transparency now :)

I still havent found the transparent seeker :(

Thanks so much danielkoch, with your help I was able to get things working. :)

:woot: Very nice! It's more stable, Winamp uses half the CPU usage than with the beta (even with the Playlist open). I think I spent a good 20 minutes playing with it checking out all the colour combinations. Hooray for Glow Stick!

Hey axialix:

I borrowed a couple images from clearONE (glass-bg-player-main.png & solid-clearONE.png) to make my new SIGamp image, hope that's cool. The SIGamp image has to link to sigamp.com of course, so I linked to your site with the googly eyes image.

WOW! Thanks everyone for all the good comments. :)

Now for the bug reports:

1) Sky Juice - the Notifier Always On Top option defaults back to off when winamp restarts.

2) Whitman - cpu usage increases when the PL window is open (even with Vis off).

3) planetik - When it's at "Glow Stick", it doesn't change to another VIS when you click on it. This isn't a bug, it has to be this way by design since pressing the left mouse button grabs the Songname. Just right-click it to change Vis modes again.

I'll get these corrected as soon as I can.

BTW, thanks for the DOS tip aldago, I'll try it out now.

Hey axialix, great skin!!

Can you tell me how I can make it transparent. in the STYLES it doesn't change much and therefore the directory is the default one. the beta was transparent just like the screenshots but i cant make this final version transparent. plz help any1

More importantly, i think the "alpha blending" option under preferences gets switched off when using C1. (Causing some modern skin users to find their freefrom skins not working :rofl: )

clearONE turns off alpha blending when using the SolidBG and GlassBG styles. But obviously, using the ClearBG style mandates that alpha blending be turned on. I did this for all those Win98 and ME users out there so they could use my skin too. Those OS's do not support alpha blending.

I love it. After selecting the right colour theme, I have a mostly transparent winamp with blue glows. A visual treat for the eyes, so good that one almost requires a cigarrette after enjoying it!

There is one suggestion/criticism that I have wondered since the days of the beta, however: Is it possible for Winamp to somehow render a "drop-shadow" or similar with fonts? It's just that no matter what colour is used it often clashes with windows/desktop beneath it. Plus if i make it white, then foreground windows make it unreadable. Make it black and it's unreadable on the desktop, etc.

Anyway, fan-TAST-ic work!

Sorry danielkoch, only the Clear style will give you a transparent seeker. But if you really have to have it, open up glass-volume.png (found in clearONE/elements/player) with Photoshop and cut out the middle. It'll be transparent then. :)

Chode, that's a good idea. I'll see what I can do about those shadows.

nickels, the ClearBG style isn't working for you? Please provide more details so we can help you.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
