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!!

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.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
