Could someone with the new build also tell me if when you change themes if it still messes up the font highlighting under desktop icons?

Also is the Wallpaper changer fixed in the new build?

Both looks ok to me. Not sure about the problem with the font highlightning, but everything looks fine.

If you could change the theme to the Untied States theme then right click and select rename on a deskto icon. Can you see the font? The highlight color should be dark blue.

Thanks

The transition\fade effect when you change wallpaper is new and pretty cool!

Yea, just noticed myself. Nice addon

Looks to be some issues still. Not on all themes though.

Thanks X-bite

Also if you could check open a window like say IE Maximized then open WMP 12 and from the task bar see if it open on top of the IE window?

There is a bug in build 7000 where WMP 12 seem to almost always open behind other windpws.

It was available in build 7000. Anything new or added to transition effects ?? :)

Only when using the wallpaper shuffler in build 7000 if I remember correctly. Now it does that when you select a wallpapper manually also.

Opens in front now. Tried it several times with different windows maximized.

Can someone check if in build 7022 there is still error with permissions... For example in Beta sometimes i get error when saving files from any program:

"F:\Users\Username\Desktop\Filename.psd

You don't have permission to modify files in this network location

Contact the administrator per permission to make these changes"

After this error file is created but with 0 Bytes.

I have instaled win xp and win 7.

Hehe, sorry was playing around with the new build :)

Seems WMP was updated in this build:

The album art is bigger and the "Library" button moved to the top right of the now playing window. To get "Show List" you have to right click also. The song title/artists info now cycles which is nice but i rather it the way it was before where the name of the song is always avaialable in bigger bold fonts. Not sure if i like those but i guess.

You can remove more Windows Features:

There you can remove Windows Media Center and DVD Maker and even WMP 12!

Looks like the Now Playing fonts aren't incredibly blurry anymore. Larger album art, now that's a plus. (Y)

Someone at the mainpage comments mentioned that there is a new animation when "moving things around explorer"... Can someone look into it?

Yes it's true. If you have like for example: mutiple IE tabs open, the animation looks more smoother. I can't really explain it anymore than that. To add to the WMP, of course the icon & the buttons are different now.

I'm not sure if it's new or not, but if you hover over "All Programs" for about 3 seconds, it will automatically send you there, same thing works when you want to go "Back".

Paint also looks different

Setup was much faster using an ISO mounting program, in this case, i used PowerISO.

Overall performance is better :)

That's all i've noticed so far, i will let you guys know if i find more out!

I don't think that's what he was asking, correct me if I'm wrong backdrifter, but I'm assuming it has something to do with Windows Explorer... not Internet Explorer?

Might just be a result of my JPG compression :) But yeah larger album art, i submit feedback about that already. AMG (All Music Guide) needs to start releasing at least 300 x 300 now instead of the 200 x 200 they currently do/did. That's why that one up there looks kinda fuzzy too.

Oh and Gaius - leave my music alone. LOL I was downloading some old music that i remembered (Dru Hill - Beauty) and found some new ones at the sametime. I was sampling that's why that's a weird playlist. I barely listen to the radio so i don't even know what's hot these days.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
