I'm using Winamp.

When I'm using Winamp 5.572 :

- When mouse over at XDC icon, can view Japanese tags, but not on XDC skin

When I'm using WMPlayer 12 :

- When mouse over at XDC icon, cannot view Japanese tags, same as XDC skin

- Not show embedded cover or folder.jpg or cover.jpg

- Update : After re-check... XDC shows embedded cover or folder.jpg or cover.jpg for certain mp3, but some of them XDC won't show.

I'm using Windows7 x64, regional settings set to Japanese..

There's also another user from another forum that having problems viewing Unicode tags..

thanks for your feedback,I will try to fix unicode problems next version.

xwidget, thanks for replying my email.

It doesn't work for me. my XDC always use only ID3v1.

If I remove all ID3v1, XDC doesn't view v2 tag at all.

See here :

Does XDC support Japanese and Korean tag?

1. XDC will add an option of read tag "ID3v1->ID3v2" or "ID3v2->ID3v1" in next version

2. XDC can support Japanese or Korean tag

Very Nice skin! I very like it! Can you upload it and allow me to publish it to the XDC's skin gallery? Thanks

[First Public Beta Of Xdeskcover Released! (free)]

What do you think?

My first skin of XDeskCover Something like Tahiry skin of CAD

Now the ways are open to create more nice skins...

Thanks again for this app you did for all of us Xwidget!

Nice skin! I like it

Oh..forget to ask you something else...

How about a scrolling text for TEXTs settings? Ask to much ?

Some songs title are to long even if you wrapple them...

I am sorry that the Scrolling features is under development,I will try to complete it in the next version

Hi again...

@xwidget: I tried last night to create my own skin for...no chance to put "play","prev","next",rating", and texts buttons over a background image?

No found any settings for..I'm right?

In Skin Editor left TreeView,list all controls of XDeskCover,Their ,etc "CDCover","Text1"

And Their display order is from top to bottom,

If you want place "Text1" or "ButtonPlay" over "CDBack" ,You must select the "Text1" in the skin editor left treeview, and click the "Move up" Button on the Left-bottom of skin editor,Until makes the "Text1" above "CDBack" in the Controls Tree list.

UAC is enabled, well, I'm developer too, and think that application must work perfect as AsInvoker too, not admin and etc. and it should not think that UAC must be disabled. Just a propositions

Ohh, I'm not sure that it's UAC, but if you try to write into C:\Windows, C:\Programs Files or somewhere else (except temp or user's data folders) or registry, then it can be UAC of course.

Edit:

small questions, do you use C# I think for it ?

Thank you for your advice. I think I really should be strengthened emphasis on the win7.

btw: I use Delphi, rather than C#. I personally think that C # will uses more resources of cpu and ram,and efficient without delphi high. and C# can not directly run in WINXP without .net framework.

I tried to add some CD Art Display skins... no luck yet

It can be done ...i'm sure..only if we modifying some things...you skin's author aprove btw

Anyway it's a promising app

I am so sorry that XDeskCover can not directly uses CAD's skin.
