Thank you all for you support and feedback! :D

What about a little history since WCC is one year old!

Alpha Zero (Feb 2005):

- I'm testing it for the first time

- Cover resizing without bicubic filter

Alpha 1 to 9 (Feb to Mar 2005)

- Althought released as an Alpha program a FileForum user said it was the worst program ever :)

- During Alpha stage several options were added and a real simple skin support implemented

- Cover resize with bicubic filter

- Case just a gif image (no transparency)

Beta 1 to 11 (Apr to Dec 2005)

- PNG support for case an notifier

- Added new options

- Better skin support

- Some users still like Beta 10 due some radical changes in RC 1! :)

RC 1 to 2 (Feb to Mar 2006)

How did you get it so that it's the same height as rainlender? Mine is bigger.

That's weird. Make sure the Zoom is set to 100% in the 2nd tab of the skin manager.

Edit: Oh! Duh! Sorry guys, but for that Lucid skin to be the same size as Rainlendar, you have to pick the Large days subskin of Lucid, in Rainlendar. I didn't know it was bigger than the regular one, and I made the Lucid skin to be the size of the Large days one. You can try using the zoom feature (as described above) to adjust the size

Hey, i got a feature request...

Can you make it so you can right click while a tracks on and have an option to bring up the ID3 tag details and ability to change them and save.

I type all my tags in, beacuse they're usually blank when i get them, so i spend hours changing them all, but i make the odd mistake..

So when i see this mistake, i would like to alter it while its there, rather than go through hunting for the file..?

I would of thought this would be quite easy but would be essential for me!

-Thanks :D

Whoa.. Um, if you use Winamp, all you have to do is double click the song ticker. My winamp is set to always on top in windowshade mode, up there in the titlebar area of maximized windows, so editing ID3 tags is a double-click away for me. In the worst case, it'll be 4 clicks for you: 1. Unhide tray icons, 2. Click the winamp one, 3. Double click the song ticker.

And to edit ID3 tags, I recommend MP3tag. I wouldn't use any other software.

The font is Acens (Click to download)

Have attatched the rating images in a zip , Its only (0,2,4,6,8,10).png because thats all i could select anyway, So didnt bother with the rest

Glad you liked :)

Rating.zip

Also, Carlos...Have you thought about a website for this program, think it would make it much more accessable rather than 3/4 topics on a forum? If your intereted let me know on msn (added you today) and we'll talk.
