When i saw this thred i thought: WOAH... finally Dazzla made it again!!!

I really love the taskbar feature of wmp9 but is really ****ing how it match with other themes than luna! :(

Well I hope Dazzla start make some wmp9 taskbar skins, 'cause i've tried the one he made with the beta version and don't work with the final. I also noticed that the modified version is 1,9mb and the original is 2,7mb.... :)

Not that im whinning, but I would really like to see a good classic skinned bar ;)

I'll do that, I'm really into classic now. There's a slight problem though, I haven't yet figured out how to stop it resizing the taskbar. I've made it so the media player part of the taskbar is thin, but the rest still expands. Maybe I'll stumble across a value somewhere :unsure:

I've been working on this for a couple hours and would like some feedback on it. Anything I should change? Is it good? So far, it's coming along well, but isn't even close to done... I'm merely modifying a screen capture of the original, this isn't a screen capture of any WMP skin yet.

It looks great for me, im using Luna default shell style :)

So, keep up the good work :)

I might change to other shell style...

but for now ive decided that Luna is bug free...

Until ThemeXP.org change server (..... damn it's long..), ill stay with MS style :)

I've revised it a little... I am in the process of making the arrows (play, pause, forward etc.) white to better match the Luna theme. Also I wanted it to be obvious that there was something resting on the desktop, not just a bunch of arrows sitting there as though they are shortcuts, so I made the left side of it look like a window, and then made it fade out. Tell me what you think.

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
