Aqua-Soft ForumsUPDATED - v6
IMPORTANT:
~~~~~~~~~~
Since Samurize v1.55 instance names are case sensitive
so instance name has to be exactly like it says : cdcovers
(all small captions).Also now there is instance manager
avaliable in your samurize folder (InstanceManager.exe )
I strongly suggest you use that app to create and
manipulate instances.
As always read the readme file carefully :
CDCovers v6 (for any player supported by samurize)

============================================================
DO NOT modify and redistribute this skin or any images
that are part of the skin. DO IT for personal use ONLY.
============================================================
Changelog:
~~~~~~~~~~
v6 - 'Shake it like a polaroid picture' :)
v5 - Added more substyles to BOXED style.
v4 - Changed the way Synergy skin expand/collapse behave.
If manually expanded config will now stay that way until
manually colapsed again.
v3 - Added more Synergy substyles and made it automatically switched.
I recomend that you delete all files located in :
'~\samurize\configs\CDCovers\' folder and then extract new files.
v2 - As of Samurize v1.50 NO scripts are required to switch configs
so you MUST have latest Samurize v1.50 or automatically
switching configs wont work.
All paths are relative so config should work no matter what's
your default Samurize installation folder.
v1 - Initial release
Important:
~~~~~~~~~
- Config search for :
'~ Samurize\Skins\CDCovers\Skins\CDCovers\NOcover.png' by default
and based on state of the cover switches configs.
You MUST edit config and set that image to be your NOcover image.
Go to : '~ Samurize\plugins\AdvancedMediaPlayerInfo.opt' ,
open it with notepad and set this line :
not_available = C:\Program Files\Samurize\Skins\CDCovers\NOcover.png
(or you can change it with plugin dialog box in config editor)
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.Unpack in your samurize folder
2.Create cdcovers instance :
Start > Run : "C:\Program Files\Samurize\Client.exe" "i=CDCovers"

config files :

Click on Right edge to expand/collapse.
When in 'Cover only' mode click on Left edge
to change expand orientation (click once on the
left edge and then use right edge to expand/collapse).
If no cover is found skin will switch to 'NO Cover'
mode and stay like that.
Polaroid Style - always on desktop.'Undeveloped' polaroid image

Note:
~~~~~
Both BOXED abd Synergy styles will collapse after 20s to
'Cover only'mode and expand again on song change
(unless manually expanded - in that case config will now stay that
way until manually colapsed again).
Visuals info:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skin uses 'AdvancedMediaPlayerInfo.dll' and 'SpectrumVis.dll'
located in Samurize plugins folder to display
cover art on desktop and visuals.
Samurize install specific plugin in every player
plugins folder upon installation.
If skin doesn't work for some player,reinstall
Samurize and/or that player to make sure that
all plugins are detected.
For more info on plugins read 'SpectrumReadme.txt'
located in Samurize folder.
Important:

players preferences.
