WCC RC2 Build 74 (16 Mar 2006)

Introduction:

This build completely changes (again) the notifier text.

Thanks to KSoft (the author of RunMe) I could figure how to properly draw the text out.

So the text does NOT depends on png font anymore.

Attention

This is a really working in progress build.

So backup your current "CD Case.exe" before use this.

There are lots of thing for me to do: add more options like text color, update the "Notifier Lines" interface etc.

Important usage notes:

As you'll see "Notifier Lines" (in Skin Manager) has only "Line 1" enabled.

However, the "%newline%" flag is back at least for now.

The screenshot uses the following text format: %artist%%newline%%track%. %title%

This will help you to set your custom "Line 1".

About "Line 2":

"Line 2" will probably be added back. Two reasons:

1) you can make two custom lines, with two different size, font, color...

2) CPU usage: when time is set WCC has to redraw "Line 1" evey second. If a line has all information then the CPU work will be harder.

The fact that you and some other users made the font was a great feedback which makes me to want keep developing WCC. So it was not for nothing! :)

:D

%title% --- %year%%newline%%artist%%newline%%album% --- %rating%

works perfectly for me....I'm loving this

and the new progress bar is sweet....Great work! :D

King Mustard,

I quite didn't understand what you mean... Anyway:

The progress bar will be placed below the last line (like before).

You can create a new line using %newline% tag (before we had 3 fixed lines).

The screenshot uses ("Skin Manager>Notifier Lines>Text format"): %artist%%newline%%track%. %title%

King Mustard,

Now I got it. I should sleep a little more! The "Line 3 Size" option was removed since the new text don't let me know what will be the last line width (due the %newline%).

optimo,

Progress is just an effect.

Sorry but your last request won't be added (at least for now). WCC is not a real Winamp plugin.

WCC RC2 Build 111 (18 Mar 2006)

WCC RC2 Build 118 (19 Mar 2006)

Attention

Copy the "Rating" folder in "...\Winamp CD Case\Skins\Case\" folder

Note: still a working in progress so you may find some bugs...

Have fun and thank you for your feedback! :D

Filling progress style is my favorite....

Also,, for that special rating, you have to move that folder into whatever theme you are using....not just \Skins\Case\

Don't like the new rating system myself, but that's because of how I have the notifier (set to show the rating already)

These past builds have been really stable though, so good work :)

Have fun! :D

I really liked the "Default" font used in the earlier builds of this program. Is that local font that it uses? I'd really like to use that font in the newest build.

Couldn't you just have a few fonts in a list like before and then have one that says "Other.." and then it will launch the font selection screen?

I also saw that you have to create your own lines (%newline%) which means you can't customize the size of each line like before.

Hi Carlos!

Nice to see you made an installer. Remember the position bug I reported on aquasoft a long time ago? Well, it's back. Apparently WCC only saves the position on exit, so, dragging it to where I want to have it on my desktop, then going to options and clicking on Lock position only puts it back where it was before, and locks it.

Could you add a snap to borders code? Like winamp has, and give us an options panel to customize the distance we want to have from the border. I'm really looking to align this perfectly with Rainlendar, hehe :)

As always, nice work.

1) I know how annoying is that... When WCC is pinned to the desktop it won't save its position since this feature isn't compatible with dual monitors. But I'll fix that ASP.

2) This is not possible right now.

Glad to hear from you again!

I guess I'll get use to it? I liked how i was in caps but now it just doesn't have that same look.

:cry:

First, I'm gglad that you liked the previous notifier. But it was too limited since you couldn't select any font, color nor style. The current one has lots of features and lots of ways to customize.

But I think we can add a caps option. What do you think?

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
