Mediacontrol albumcover - snack - 01-02-2005
Would it be possible to show the albumcover from a folder or mp3-tag in either the skin or the tooltip?
I use Samurize to achieve this now, but I'd rather do it with TLB.
While on the subject of Samurize: It would be really great if you could execute samurize in a TLB menu :twisted:
I guess that will never happen...

currently it looks like screenie 1, but it would be cool to have that in the skin.
But i'd like to see it as something like screenie two, or even better in a tlb menu!

Would that be a static image? Or does it dynamically change with the song currently playing?
If it's dynamic, how does it know which image to display? And where is it stored? Too much trouble, too little functionality, if you ask my opinion... Besides, apparently it can already be done with Samurize
If you have a virtual folder to 'My Music' you can set different background images for each submenu, so each mp3 listing could have it's own album-cover at the background. This is a static image, you can configure it with 'Customize menu'...

, and yes it can be done with samurize but I'd like to see it in the tlb-skin, or tlb-menu.Dracula Wrote:If you have a virtual folder to 'My Music' you can set different background images for each submenu, so each mp3 listing could have it's own album-cover at the background.

If I would create a virtual folder for all albums it would cost me two weeks and I doubt if windows could handle it. :lol:
