Sorry it took so long to reply...

Erm, the transparent WLM is done using MsgPlus!Live, which also does those floating contacts.

The Winamp is a plain version of SimplicityClear, to get it looking like that you have to change the coverart size, and it changes the rest!

Hi, how do you get your messenger to show the persons display pic on the contact list? Is that MsgPlus!Live doing that?

Cheers. :)

Erm, I think it's a setting in Windows Live Messenger, when you have the contact bar showing, there's a button to change how things are shown. Can't check right now as I'm at work, but it's either that or an option in the normal menus.

^Very nice Desktop there Praetoryus...I love the wall...

Where did you get the icons for Y'zdock?

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! :)

I created the y'z icons myself, just simple text png's... easy to create in any graphics program, and you know you'll have an icon for all the progs you use! ;)

Can you tell me how to change the coverart size ?

Hi,

All you need to do is when you have the cover art showing, right click on it and it will give you size options.

You have to make sure you are in 'normal' mode not 'shade' mode with the Simplicity skin. You can change the mode with the small white circle buttons at the top right of the skin.

Cheers.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
