There seems to be a bug with my visual style and the latest build of winamp 5 (5.02) :blush:

Here is an updated XML, with improved ease of installation. (just extract to the winamp folder and it should create the right folders)

Please give a shout if you are having problems with it.

5.02 has a new maki compiler, which may be causing errors not with the syle, but with the skin you are trying to use

Uhm, well the problem was with the color theme, and i only have the modern skin installed so...

Seems the XML reading has increased in strictness as several colorthemes had to be fixed to work with 5.02 (Just take a look at the community color theme treads at forums.winamp.com for more detailed stories.

i found one problem i cannot solve. when using virtual desktop manager (from microsoft powertoys) the taskbar height becomes one (or two) pixel bigger. the taskbar buttons are then not clickable on the bottommost pixel of the screen which makes the whole "thing" unusable. any suggestions how to solve this problem easily? i think that what i really need to do is to make the taskbar height one pixel bigger, but was unable to do it.

virtual desktops are great. but with broken taskbar is the virtual desktop manager unusable :(

chr_is: Yep, just to the current user. BTW if you'd rather you can always install it manually - see the first post for details.

gew: In order to do that you'd need to open up the msstyle in a resource editor and edit the ini files to increase the top and bottom content margins for the taskbar and taskband buttons. I won't go into details here but I would imagine that someone somewhere has written a guide on how to do it (though I haven't checked).

I didn't know how to fix that bux with fonts. I have extracted Velvet_Waves (for windows blind) and then I copied TNBlank.ttf to C:/WINDOWS/FONTS and installed it. Then I have reloaded them again and nothing new. I opened TNBlank.ttf and couldn't find any fonts for preveiw inside. I downloaded theme again, and afcorse that didn't salve the problem.

So I presume that ttf file is curropted, and would anyone be so kind and put link here or send me it to my e-mail:

Lucifixm, are you using Windowblinds or mmstyles?

The TNBlank font is what is says it is...a blank font, which is why you don't see anything in the font preview window. That is how the mmstyle version removed the All Program text from the StartMenu.

hi, i really like the theme, great work, however i was wondering how is it possible to align font in title bars to be in centre?

thanks.

Open up the msstyle with a resource editor, find the [Window.Caption] and [Window.MaxCaption] sections in the ini files and change the content alignment.

Hi!

I'm using Spamihilator to get rid of the spam which contaminate my email accounts. Spamihilator displays a fourth small icon next to close/maximize/minimize. And with Velvet Waves as theme it looks a little bit crooked.

I don't know if you can do something about that, but i want to let you know :)

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
