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 :)

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
