LiteStep.net Forums

First of all sorry for my English.

I want to say that nowadays most litestep users are coders and programmers (IMHO). So, it's true that most of them prefer small, useful programs with open code that can be tune according their taste. What all this about?

For me winamp become too large and as an alternative i began to use xmplay. It is a musical player, small, functional and very comfortable(IMHO). So, i want to ask - is there any way to combaine LiteStep and xmplay, that i can use LiteStep functions(that was made for winamp) with xmplay.

P.S.: LiteStep is fantastic tool for desktop replacement.Keep it up boys and girls! :)

Thanks for answering,

Oh, completely forgotten, here http://www.un4seen.com/ the site of xmplay.

They are?

I think so :D and also they are coders, disigners, artists and very good peopel in the end of ends.

But what about question. Any ideas?

end of ends?

maybe you can use sendmessage (litestep module) to control xmplay. Youll need to figure out what messages to send ofcourse.

What makes you think we are all coders and programmers and such? I mean just because I was a software engineer once and enjoy dabbling in photoshop doesn't mean anything!

Ok, i didn't see any rules about using of the forum, but i think it's offtopic.

But i answer, litestep,as i think, not so 'frendly' as many others shell replacers, so by using LS you become an disigner, coder, progammer in some way. U tune LS according to your taste just like unix systems.

LS is just as complicated as you make it.

Please, if you have no ideas how to make work xmplay with litestep keep silence.Another words - stop offtoping.

P.S.:I have suggestion- to make personal messages option on this forum.

Mirror link http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=1605.0 all who interested come in. :)

fractal has already offered a solution that might work. Until you start reading what people are saying I don't think you have any right to tell anyone to "keep silence". Improve your attitude or go away.

Swapping shells is as easy as swapping media players, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do it. You shouldn't assume anyone here is a designer or programmer. I knew about Litestep before I knew about visual styles, I just wanted to make my taskbar look differently and someone showed me litestep. I cannot make a theme to save my life.

And don't ever tell the webmaster of a site to shut up. They don't like that very much.

Sorry if i was very rude.

But i thought it's a place where you can ask a question and where someone can help you to find a solution to a problem.

I think i have got a habbit because of those forumes, where if you say somthing offtopical you become an exile or something like that.

"Keep it up boys!"
What makes you think we're all boys? I think I saw a girl here...once...maybe twice....

Anyhow, sendmessage or sendkeys is the way to go. It might take a little work to figure out if you've never worked with themes before, but it's worth it to get an understanding of how they work.

Maybe it will be good if the webmaster make a personal messages system (if it can named like that) and forum section where everybody can talk to each other on defferent topics exept LS.

Already given that idea. I think it's can be a solution fo those people who make own theme, but could it work with themes that already made?

Also Jace(on UN4SEEN.com forum) say:

Yes, it is already possible to get the currently playing song into a Litestep box =)
Figured it out today, beat myself up for not noticing it earlier.
So, just grab label.dll from somewhere (I have v1.99), and in the conf just write up:

Code:

XmplayLabelText "[windowTitle('XMPLAY-MAIN')]"

Of course, you can change the label's name, but that does the trick. =)
Now I can keep xmplay minimised always!
Just gotta disable the lil' bubble when the song changes..

And, for the circle to be complete, we need some way to send commands to XMPlay to change the song/volume/play/pause/everything from another program..

So as i uderstood, in that way to make xmplay work i'll need to add some changes to themes configs to make xmplay work instead winamp. Or in that way everything what i'll see it's a name of the currently playing song?

fractaldesign:

The label will only show you the track that is currently playing. As for getting the other buttons you need sendmessage...as stated like 5 times now. You complain that we aren't helping but we are.

Ok. Understood. Thanks for help and for your infitinity patience (seriosly).

And for messages to send, here's a full list of XMPlay's DDE functions. Would give it a shot right here and now if I wasn't 14000km away from my LiteStep-boosted comp. ;)

Hey bitch use foobar, the world doesn't need any more media players being developed

http://www.foobar2000.org/

True. We should all just use plain XP with the blue Luna theme, and forget this customization and alternate shell crap. Choice is bad.

I don't think knowing the DDE functions will help, without going outside of Litestep. Is there a litestep module that can send DDE messages?
