embedded winamp Thread last updated on 2006-02-05 08:27:11

Posted by member 303438 on 2006-02-02 15:15:37

i searched the threads and didn't find any mention of this...
i'm attempting to get winamp's display, i.e. track info, to embed itself on my desktop
this way only the text would appear with no pesky program surrounding it visually

is this even remotely possible?
and would any care to help?

Just display it in a label with an image that has no opacity, and be sure to use the AlphaMap setting for the label.

xlabel has an escape code for that - you shouldn't need any other amp module. I think it's [winampcurrentsongtitle], but I'd check that.

ok! i got it figured out finally
my only question is... if i wanted to have the volume controlled by a bar instead of simple "up" "down" options,
how might i do this?

these are the questions that are caused by us holding your hand. this is why we won't hold your hand. read some more and use that brain between your ears.

listen jocko
the tips i've gotten have been little more than what program to use
the rest i've figured out for myself as you can plainly see
it's a simple question which i have searched hard to find an answer for
if you can point me in the right direction
do so
if not
shut it
