[release] Expander

I got the idea when using Piotr's skin that had just 3 buttons for controlling the iTunes and a mini extended panel. I quite liked the minimal footprint of it, yet I wanted to have all the track info. That’s when Expander was born. All transitions are animated and to change the state of the desklet, click on the little dot in the top right corner of it. Button on the left closes iTunes while the one on the right toggles it on/off. This skin is made to sit in the lower left corner of the screen and will not work properly in upper left and right, and lower right parts of the screen. AveTunes 2.5 for AveDesk is required or skin won’t function properly.

I’d like to thank Pe7er for the PSD (I got to beat that laziness virus ) and Ave for AveDesk and for putting up with my constant requests.

Comments are more than welcome, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I won’t see many. Anyways, I’m not expecting anything.

AveTunes 2.5

Enjoy

PS zpod if you mind me using your wall in the bg for this preview i`ll remove it.

It`s not a bug, but i could add that option in the next release (few more suprises coming too )

yubba, yubba, yubba!

thanks loads unbeliever, i was pretty much starting in on a minicontrol mod;

you did a sweet job...

looks great with a small mouseover 'glow' effect too.

only thing i'll change for myself is the mouseover mode will become a static mode.

thanks again... gave you a +fav over at dev.

#215430

a temporary fix for those who want to have the mini-mode + info all the time.

extract this into desklets\skins\expander light\

skin.ini goes to desklets\skins\expander light\mouse

to keep the mini-mode+info click on the lower right corner. click it again to go to normal mode.

PS + rating songs in mini-mode for Sputnikk

@ everyone: do somebody of you out there who have the same prob?

Unbeliever: are you sure you uploaded v2.5? couse it still says v200 and the one i have before i installed v2.5 i had v220 (it looks better whit that version, but there the only thing is that over the mini player, where it supost th be stars/rating)

Hope that helps, good luck
