[release] Itunes 4 For Windows Media Player 9

Does anyone know how to get rid of the "Corporate" skin? or disable it?

'cause every time i change my visual styles, it switches to that skin, and it resets my "iTunes" skin's settings :/

Yeah, my WMP9 is also doing it but with Windows Classic skin, so it's not the skin itself, but another problem. Maybe another bug in WMP9.

Lol i never said it was the skin.. i'm just wondering if anyone found a way to fix it

i tried to delete the "Corporate" skin.. but it won't let me.. ugh

too bad i can't have Stevie's skin as my default skin ahah

The reason for this is that visual styles can load a WMP skin, if the VS developer chooses to set it that way. If you don't set a WMP skin, though, it just goes to the default one...

(Y) Thank you!

Wow, so easily to recognize it once it's explained to you. :nuts:

I must be really losing it because I cannot find the function MediaChange() in the iTunesMain.js at all. All I could find is the CdromMediaChange()! Is this function only in the updated skin?

:rolleyes: just the line under. i did a ctrl+F search, and the line showed up.

this fix DOES work! and the skin works faster, without doubt ;) sweeeeet...

I downloaded and installed GDIplus.dll, no luck. Any other ideas?

#62245

maybe try installing the XP WMP9 version, and foll it somehow to think you have XP :blink:

#62341

The only truely supported system is XP with WMP9. Anything else, all bets are off.

Hey Binary, you deal with the fonts right?

Theres something weird about my WMPItunes font, the character "]" looks like its missing pixels or something (see my screenshot for a better description), is it just me? or do you or anyone else get it too? Just curious :D

It's because your font size is too large. I forget what the size needs to be to look acurate, but it's in the thread somewhere. Also, if you want to have these large fonts, somewhere, also in this thread, Stevie put a larger cell background so you can modify it yourself. It's like that because of the limitations in WMP, it's not Stevie's fault.

found a small, very very small and tiny bug, have a look at the picture...

ok, after reading my post, I decided to be more detailed: the (how do we call them? "glyphs"?) "+", "-" or "x" respectively should all be visible at the same time, but they aren't if you do what I describe in the picture. only after hovering around on the bulbs the other signs become visible.

btw: is there a function which cleans the media library? while trying the skin and playing around with WMP I found that there are TOO MANY dead files in the library, this sucks. so, what about auto-clean-the-library-feature?

I know about this problem, and it's a difficult one to fix - the "hover cluster" is actually two objects within the skin, and so they they occassionally block one another's execution of the mouse over event. This, unfortunately, is a pig to fix, and I don't have the time.

If I can get it sorted when I have time, I'll post the fix.

#63393

it itn't disturbing or annoying either, I just reported, so that this bug is known... take your time, life consists of other things than skinning :)

#63421

Its looking fantastic! All working here, but this font is annoying me.

I've installed the fonts, i've the two LucidaGrande installed, the TTF one and the PFM one, but it still not working for me, can someone email me the right font please? :(

I don't think so, and do you know why? stop asking, start looking...

I read through the 37 pages and I know where to find the fonts: INSIDE THE PACKAGE!

what's wrong with you all? why does it give such a pain in the ass looking yourself for informations? I don't know, how many threads are out there "is there some milk?" or "where to find milk stuff?" and so on, endless... please all you out there: stop asking, start looking, there is a search function implemented in this forum! argh... someday I will freak out and shoot you all! :rant:

btw: have a look at that rant smiley, it calms you down after looking a while, sooooo funny... :D

If you had followed the development, you'd see that the latest version doesn't use "LucidaGrande.pfm" any more. It uses the same font, but renamed to "WMPiTunes", which is included in the file in various formats.

RTFM! :rant:

Also, I'm not surprised the .pfm font didn't work if you've got the TTF installed too - did you not read the whole thing where Three Drives and I were discussing fonts?

Oh, and did you not read my post saying Don't ask stupid questions, or I'll consider myself well within my rights to moan at you?

But then, whenever I think someone's asked a stupid question, I remember this:

"There are no stupid questions, only stupid people"

The playlist uses the same font and size as your icons. ;)

I just downloaded iTunes from Apple. While doing so, I was wondering if Stevie was bemoaning all his hardwork. Well, let me be the first to say that his iTunes skin looks better than iTunes for Windows. Great work.

#65897

I still prefer using WMP with this iTunes skin. Actually I was quite surprised how much alike the two are considering the limitations... :)
