Hey no problem. I'm confused about the white text though. Were you using the solid style with maybe a ()GLASS color theme? I ask this because none of the Solid color themes have white available for the Songname.

But now I need you to help me if you would. Can you test out this new installer that includes the font? It works for me, but I wanna be sure it works for other people too before I post it on my site. If you (or anybody) could send me a PM with your email it'd be much appreciated.

Yeah sure, no problem... I enjoy testing softwares or themes or mmm anything for desktop and hardware ^^...

So, let's give a try to this installer ^^...

Well it's the same installer?? I mean 1.3??? I've alredy installed this and works pretty good ^^...

I've got two crowds to please here SJ and it's wearing my tail to the bone I tell ya. :laugh:

You've missed out on all the fun Bhav. Chode (bless that sweet boy) suggested I make an installer so people wouldn't have to edit any more cmd files or install any fonts or none of that silly business. He so adeptly led me to NSIS and from then on it was history man.

I'm getting sick of my avatar. I'm looking at it and it don't seem right anymore. I gotta come up with somethin a little more funkalicious.

Thanks for the wonderful skin!

I've been trying to get my playlist to display tracks in Basic5 with no luck. It... sort of displays Basic5, but with horrible, pixel-ly results. In fact, the Basic5 TTF itself is pixellated in the same way when previewed in the TTF font viewer.

The font looks so smooth and nice on the buttons in the skin...

Does anyone have any idea what is causing this issue or how to fix it?

NICE installer Ax, now updating the skin doesnt take more than 5 seconds, used to take me about a minute or so to open the file and select what to extract (i get impatient very quickly :p)

Oh, and how do you activate GLOWSTICK MADNESS!!!™ :rofl:

Found a bug Ax... i doubt it was an error on your part though (infact i dont even know if its a bug) when you look at the seeker in close up you see that it goes about 3px outside the main window, i think that you forgot to change the height of the seeker when you made the song info box higher

This covers the glowstick in the playlist window. I assume that for the main window, you just make sure VIS is turned on and right-click it for similar options.

I showed this skin to a friend, and she reckons it's the sexiest Winamp skin she's ever seen :D

Hey all you beta lovers, today's your day in the sun. I've made some significant changes to the old skin, so check out the beta link in my sig and let me know if I'm heading in the right direction. :)

thanks for that. i ve really enjoyed the update

hope some more fixes will follow ..

Rekoil, the seeker height is correct. I tried to make it smaller so it wouldn't hang over the edge, but that made its height 5 pixels, too small to get any kind of glow effect. It also looked too tiny and was hard to move around. I just had to let it hang over. :(

Thanks Bhav! I hope the new installer is working well for everybody.

Suicide, what other fixes would you like to see? Is there a certain bug I am unaware of? I'd really like your input here.

sheenae, I'm not sure what's causing the font to show up like that. You might try deleting the Basic5 font in C:\Windows\Fonts and replacing it with this one. There is no difference between them, but this is the only thing I can think of.

Yerah i figured it was something like that :p, no problem though its still the best skin ever. But what about GLOWSTICK MADNESS!!!??:p:p

Hate that Arial font in the color themes window? I do, so here's how you change it:

Options -> Preferences -> Modern Skins -> Font Rendering -> Use Skin Font Mapper -> Configure Skin Font Mapping -> Map font Arial into Basic5 (or another of your liking). Set the Scaling to 90% and it's pretty close to done. Enjoy!

amber, the new version at my site defaults to the Glass and ClearBG styles. I'm adding more color themes right now, but until I get them finished, you can always add your own. Get the color editor in my sig and install it. Clone a theme and then move the sliders to change the colors.

I love this skin..:) Got the new one installed and am playing with it..I am an idiot as far as the color editor goes but what the hey..:) I downloaded the matching rainlander skins..It's wonderful!!!

You are super!!

Edit: Possible bug..coverart does not work (pic not shown). notifier picture does work. coverart works 100% with the beta version

    • You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.
    • I don't get this David. Can you explain it please.  
    • Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
    • Hello, The Media Creation Tool is still at v10.0.26100.7019 from October 2025. Just looks like the backend has been updated. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
