I like this alot :D

What I want is getting the media player controls on my active desktop, I did see some javascript controls included with skins, i'll have a look at them. Or is this already be done?

Coool it is even possible to have video playback on your active desktop :D

I'm going to dive into this and will make a tutorial when it''s finished... :happy:

Hey Dazzla, were you working on or have you already fixed that error about the version number when you try and start wmp?

Or is there already a fix that I haven't seen, because I'm blind as a bat :wacko:

That error wasn't actually an error. Just that the old dll appears in 2 places if you didn't slipstream and people were only deleting one of them then windows put the old WMP8 file there.

Of course none of that matters now cause Final is out and I haven't updated it...

Look at the first page of this thread.

I Fail to see a classic skin for the Windows media toolbar, the one featured on the first page of this thread is a Watercolor theme - not classic ;) Compkid2005 where are you refering to exactly?

This might have been answered in here as I saw someone point it out in another page

but does the media player icon have to be there CarbonKnight

We know its media player do we reallly need the icon? or cant you make it smaller or more centered or something?

White addition looks sleek.

I could make two if you really wanted, one with one without, but the reason I put it there is it functions as a button. Rollover it, and it reveals the track info. Double Click it, and it reopens Media Player in normal/skin mode.

CarbonKnight can you release a test version man so we can help find bugs and such

it would be cool

thx :alien:

First of all, there won't be any bugs in it because it's just a basic skin. Secondly, I'm just editing one image, whereas the original skin was composed of many images that fit together to make the final image you see in your WMP9 taskbar. I still have to create animated buttons so that when you click "Play" for example, it pushes inwards, like the default WMP9 taskbar skin. I should have it done by tomorrow though.

I was messing around and made a quick minimal style skin for windows classic. I dont know yet if you need the icon at all or if the size is predefined.

Hey ur skin looks cool, could you make the bottons a little bigger and clearer (i dunno if thats the image quality or something) ... is that a G i see on the right hand side?

It was just something quick and dirty to see how it is done. And yeah that is a G on the side, Just testing to see something. I could redo the buttons tommorrow. I need to get some sleep.

As far as tuts on how to skin it. I just downloaded second file Dazzla posted with a list of the bitmap resourses used. I just fleshed it out for my own use. Might be spelling errors and such..

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
