Fantastic Skin!! I switched from clearOne Beta for 1 day for the first time since it was released! But now I've gone straight back to clearOne and won't budge for a long long time :)

Thanks again axialix!!

Sorry to go off topic but could i have that wallpaper :woot:

Is that the PL Shade mode or Normal mode? If you mean Normal mode, it sets itself at 0:00 until you click on a track.

Notifier Always On Top option has been corrected and site has been updated. :)

Axi..

Do i need to re-dl the zip, consequently re-doing my C1 configs again? If that's the case i'll wait till most of the release bugs are squashed. :pinch:

It won't become clear for me no matter what i do. i've tried all the color themes and skin themes there is turned on alpha blending.

if you need a screenshot, no problem.

and i've delted the studio file that you said... :(, no luck... i like this skin i want to use it

that is what i get with the clearBG one :(

if i change it to other ones, the colours of the buttons change, and alpha blending keeps getting swtiched off

Same problem here. I also think I've some problem with the ML buttons:

They look so dark...

The transparent seeker isn't as good as the gradient seeker in ClearONE beta. I don't like this one... it just looke like a simple transparent rectangle...

I'll try to take this one at a time:

Sky Juice - You will need to re-download the zip file on my site to get the Notifier option working as it should. Studio.xnf will probably NOT have to be deleted, so all your CF settings can stay the same.

neoxphuse - I do see where 0:00 is showing up in the PL normal mode, but I can't remember either if it always did this or not. I'll have to get back to you on that one. As for changing the font to NonstepNew, I have no idea why you would want to do this! It looks FAR better IMO with the new font. If you have character problems like papajohn, please follow the instructions in the screenshot I posted. I think it's pretty clear (ahem) from there.

Andreas - You can't change the Glass and Solid BG's to alpha blend. It just doesn't work that way and there is no reason it should. PM me if you want a more detailed explanation about that. As for making the glass seeker transparent with Photoshop, all you need to do is open "glass-seekernormal.png" (located in clearONE/elements/player), select the insides and delete them. But here, I've done it for you (see bottom of post). :) About the cpu usage, I know it eats it up when moving around the windows, but I've now updated my site with a new version that should be a lot better for the PL mode. No need to delete studio.xnf, just delete the old clearONE and unzip the new one from my site.

squek - Are you sure you followed the directions at my site carefully? I'm sorry it's a bit of a pain to get working right if you don't have winamp installed in the default directory, but this is the best I could do. Please PM me after you've double-checked you did everything right, and we WILL get it working correctly! That goes for anyone else who's having trouble too.

Ianwoollam - Hell no I don't mind that you modded it! I'm glad you did, it certainly looks nice that way. I might have to redesign the notifier again. Thanks for the input!

Hi Unreal, I believe those thin lines are from the bottom of the ML list. Try to click and drag them with your mouse and see if they don't expand the list upwards.

As for the spectrum color, I believe it is black when a light color theme is chosen. If I'm wrong, please post another screenshot so I can see what you mean. And have you tried the Normal bars? I think they look pretty nice too.

Chode, that was a brilliant suggestion about the text shadow. Check out what a difference it makes compared to the text at the bottom of the PL in #1 below. Looks really nice!

However, there's a problem as you can see in #2. Looks awful doesn't it? I'll work on this, but you can count on the shadows for clearONE version 1.1. Thanks Chode!

Damn... This skin has got a lot of improvement (since the first time I saw it ^^)...

Greate work!!!

PD: Damn, couldn't get to work the glass effect :( :( :( I got a little bit confused on the explanation on the site (my english is not very good :( :( :( )

Edited by :No-Frost:

That last attached image does look good.

With the first two you posted, I'm assuming the problem with #2 is that it is rendering a black shadow for black text. Is there a way in the Color themes to make it use a black shadow for white text and a white shadow for black text?

And thankYOU for the sexiest Winamp skin I have ever seen :)

Edit: I think the difference shows up even more when the bg is transparent, and the window is over a light/dark area of the screen.

Hiya,

I've installed winamp in it's own custom directory and can see how some of the less skilled users here might get tripped up on having to edit those .cmd files. I myself forgot to edit the second path in the file :(

What I've done is changed the two paths in each of the three files from absolute (c:\path\to\winamp\dir\pic.png) to relative dirs (winamp\dir\pic.png).

This way, that whole long step for editing these three files never needs to be done again as using relative paths will work for any one, regardless of their setup. You will now only need to edit the studio.xnf file.

Axialix, please check the three files out (attached). And maybe include it in your next version?

Ok, I'll check again.

By the way, the problem is that even if I've installed winamp in the dafault directory I have to follow that steps, because I'm using an italian version of Windows Xp where the applications' folder is called "programmi" and not "program files".

Maybe using relative paths could be a good idea...

    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
    • Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.

It closes the remaining gaps with qBittorrent and fixes the Windows settings/tray/splash issues several of you hit. Fixed Settings now actually save. A whole class of preferences β€” speed limits (and the alternative limits), max active downloads, seed ratio, listen port, max connections, DHT/uTP/encryption, VPN interface, kill switch and proxy β€” weren't being persisted and reset to defaults on every launch. They now round-trip correctly. (Thanks to everyone who reported "the upload limit always goes back to 0".) Splash and tray toggles stick on Windows. Turning off the startup animation (or "close to tray") no longer reverts β€” the Windows registry stored these booleans as integers and the UI was misreading them. Close-to-tray hint. The first time the window hides to the tray you get a one-time notification, so the app doesn't look like it vanished (Windows 11 tucks new tray icons into the overflow). macOS Dock icon size. The icon filled its canvas edge-to-edge and rendered larger than neighbouring apps; it now uses the standard safe-area padding. Native file picker language. The "Torrent file / All files" filter in the open dialog follows the app language instead of being hard-coded. Added β€” qBittorrent parity Alternative speed limits toggle β€” a turtle button in the toolbar flips your throttled limits on/off instantly, independent of the scheduler. Follow system theme β€” switch light/dark automatically with the OS (Settings β†’ Appearance). Pre-allocate disk space β€” reserve the full file size up front to reduce fragmentation (Settings β†’ Downloads). Recheck data on add β€” optionally force a hash check when adding a torrent, so existing or partial files on disk are detected. Port status indicator β€” a πŸ”΄ dot in the status bar shows whether your listen port looks reachable (UPnP/NAT-PMP + listen state; fully local, no external check). Add torrent from URL β€” File β†’ Add torrent from URL (Ctrl+U) fetches a remote .torrent and routes it through the normal add dialog. Export .torrent β€” right-click a torrent β†’ Export .torrent to save its metadata file. Already there (in case you missed it) Watch folder β€” auto-add .torrent files dropped into a monitored directory (Settings β†’ Files). This release just surfaces it. Incomplete files already carry a .!bt suffix until they finish. Under the hood Regression tests for the settings-persistence and Windows boolean bugs. A new Qt Quick Test harness covering the startup splash and the design-system widgets.
