Add Winamp info to SimpleDark?

Anyone?

I do not know that plugin, but if you read the readme for the plugin, there is a lot of useful stuff.
So I guess you have to set the position of the info, and the code that shows the info.
Sorry I can't really help.

you need a module like geekamp so put
"*NetLoadModule geekamp-2.0" in your theme.rc

then you need a label to display the info... so:

*label ampSong

then give it some properties like position.. size etc:

ampSongX 10
ampSongY 10
ampSongWidth 200
ampSongHeight 15

Now configure the font, but this isnt so important:

ampSongFont "Calibri"
ampSongFontHeight 15
ampSongFontSmoothing false

Now put the song info into it:

ampSongText [winampSong]


voila.

you can even put stuff like [winampTime], [winampStatus] etc etc.. read geekamp's readme. enjoy

you can also use xlabel and xstatsgraph

*NetloadModule xlabel-4.1
*NetloadModule statsclass-1.0

after it installs go in your litestepdir/modules/docs and read the xlabel readme, take a look at the xstatsgraph section from some code to display winamp info. it can also display time, cpu, file contents, etc

hey that just shows you learn something new every day im gonna go try the statsclass now.. im working on making my own theme il upload it one of these days.. brace yourselves..

the problem with putting winamp info on a xlabel is that you cant move a group of labels as far as i know.. without doing OverlayLabel.. but thats another story :) and it has its limitations on which !bangs you can use

read up about OverlayLabel on google its useful

With Geekamp, is it posible to make the songname scroll if it's longer than the Label?

After getting Thomax's "stuff" that he sent me to work I'm wondering how to put an image on both sides of it. I'm basing my LS on SMPLDRK, so i need to be able to have rounded corners without them being stretched.

Here's what I've got so far:

*Label amp

ampX 5
ampY 5
ampWidth 150
ampAutoWidthMode "left"
ampAutoAnimation 40 10
ampAutoMinWidth 150
ampHeight 26
ampWindowzOrder
ampAlphaMap
ampCustomAlphaFade 40 0
ampNoMoveCursor
ampMoveModifierKey ".none"
ampPaintingMode ".image"
ampImage ampSong.png
ampImageEdges 5 5 22 8
ampText "[IF(winampPlaying)][winampArtist('')] - [winampTitle('')][ELSE][][ENDIF]"
ampFont "HaxrCorp 4088 caps"
ampFontHeight 10
ampFontColor 095095095
ampFontAlign "center"
ampFontVertAlign "top"
ampFontBorders 6 6 3 6
*ampOverlayLabel 6 -22 25 20 "prev" #s
*ampOverlayLabel 38 -22 25 20 "play" #s
*ampOverlayLabel 70 -22 30 20 "pause" #s
*ampOverlayLabel 114 -22 25 20 "next" #s
ampOnMiddleClick !none
ampOnRightClick !none

couldn't you just make a new image and replace it with the one you are using now?

No, then the sides would stretch, making the cornes blurry.
And, how come i have to recycle the config to make the song-title update?

i don't have to recycle to make the song title update...

use an overlaylabel and apply an image to it and give it imageEdges....

SunMoonStar:
Could you explain that? Change Label to Overlaylabel, then...?

*ampOverlayLabel -5 0 5 100% "whatever" #a
whateverPaintingmode ".image"
whateverImage "myOverlayImage.png"
whateverImageEdges 1 1 0 0

(im making the numbers up, its just after the first line, the 'whatever' is your new prefix and you treat it like a normal label

Now the dang thing disappeared all together :(

*ampOverlayLabel -5 0 5 100% "amp" #a
ampPaintingmode ".image"
ampImage "ampSong.png"
ampImageEdges 1 1 0 0

you cant have the same name for your parent label and your overlaylabel

*ampOverlayLabel -5 0 5 100% "anynamethatisnotampsothatlitestepdoesntgetconfusedandeatyou
rbabies" #a

i would choose something shorter though.
and then change all the prefixes after that, from amp to your new correct prefix "ampOverlay Paintingmode .image" etc

Now, how do i "format" the image i want overlay'd?
Since it dynamically changes width to fit the 'amptext' is there anything special i have to consider?

Also, i have to recycle LS to get the songname when i change songs. Why?

That's my Rocketdock, in case you were wordering.

the overlay only changes width if you set a percent or something relative in the width attribute of the line in which you are creating the overlaylabel (thats the line with the asterik),the way you have it set above, its width is fixed at 5, which you may or may not want. just read the docs...............

your songname should be automatically updating, do you have xstatsclass loaded

*NetLoadModule xstatsclass-1.0
Made no difference.

I change:
*ampOverlayLabel -5 0 5 100% "whatever" #a
To something like:
*ampOverlayLabel -5 0 whateverwidth $ampwidthX-3$ 100% "whatever" #a
???
"Just read the docs" That's easy for you to say. I don't have the slightest idea what I'm looking for.

For every second I'm doing this i want more and more to go back to Explorer and Samurize where things just WORKED!

you have too many arguments
-5 0 whateverwidth $ampwidthx-3$ 100% is 5 arguments
you need 4

*labelnameOverlayLabel x y width height "overlayname" #a

when you code, you have to be precise, and getting frustrated doesn't help. If that's your attitude, probably Litestep isnt for you..
