More than one year of work, great feedback and some new friends!

Thank you again and... well you know... Have fun! :D

Fantastic work. :)

Anyone interested in my port of Lucid for Rainlendar, click here.

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.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
