[rel] Reflective Albumart

As I posted in the download section of AveDesk page (I don't Know if it was the correct place to do it)I also second the skinning option and possibility of adding the song information in this desklet (Has someone managed to do something like that?? . Adding the reflection option in all Avedesk desklets it`s an amazing idea (if it´s possible).

Ups, another one with the "alternative song" bug.

#339367

Funky! Thanks Andreas ;)

#339416

wow a lot of people are agreeing with me lol....that never happens....

#339417

Can someone provide me with graphics of a CD-case (front and back) please? :)

#339426

um ave can you also use a cutout image as well for windows like the one i showed before (like a png that is black in the areas that the albumart is (like a black area gives the shape of the album art displayed and that is placed underneath the overlay (so there arent any square edges poking out the sides of the widget)

the black in the pngs should mean that the album art is shown fully at that colour.....slightly transparent should make it slightly transparent in that area (this could be sort of like a instruction png (i recall having to use these when making multiplugin itunes skins).....im not sure if you know what i mean but its hard to describe

#339441

you mean a mask. Another nice idea also... so many ideas :(

#339442

ooo sorry and thanks at the same time....sorry for giving you more work and thanks for complimenting me

#339443

By the way, I didn't notice it earlier but I'm also one with Alternate Song Bug !!!

"Alternate Song Bug" what a name for a bug ;)

#339446

looks really great AndreasV!! I finally was able to code that in PHP for dockex.com to render screenshots and avatars in realtime to get that same affect!

Great job! :)

Give me an easy method to get the filename for foobar and I'll happily do it for you.

After reading all posts, two things:

1) I got the "alternate song bug" too

2) Can you add a little inclination like this:

¿Any update, mr V?. I'm waiting like a child in christmas day.

Almost :)

+ fixed 'alternate song bug', stupid GDI+ was locking the file. So, when I tried to save the albumart to a temporary file, windows denied (cause the file was locked). Albumart was resetted to nothing and the file was freed. Thus the next song was able to lock the file again. Only had this issue with embedded albumart.

+ no more "Some scripting interface is using iTunes"-warnings thanks to herd and his IDispatch implementation he allowed me to use :)

- not yet added the possibility of using a CD cover - can't reach bzeitler.
