Description REQUIRES Rainmeter 2.2 version or higher
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This skin is a port of Scotch Tape for CAD by ~kingdomsephiroth [link]

Also, it contains parts and therefore the following should be credited:

ScotchTape Mod for CoverSutra by ~ale03 [link] (link not working, but used for crediting purposes)

Coversutra by ~mx-steel [link]

Wallpaper used in Preview: Spectrum Luminous by ~rinishak [link]

Last but not least, big thanks to poiru [link] for his Nowplaying plugin, and the whole rainmeter community for the support.

-----------------------------------------------

The skin displays the current song information, including cover, album artist, and of course, track title. It comes in three variants, left, right and bottom.

Visit this [link] for more help about changing Media Player name used.

If you want to remove the tape, edit the skin and change variable Show.Tape under [Variables] to 0. That would look like this:
Show.Tape=0

If you want to hide the skin when media player is closed, edit the skin and change the variable Enable.Hiding from 0 to 1. That would look like this:
Enable.Hiding=1

If you want to disable showing the "close player" button when hovering the skin, edit the skin and change the variable Disable.CloseButton from 0 to 1. That would look like this:
Disable.CloseButton=1

-----------------------------------------------
Changelog:
v.1.2: Fixed a couple of positioning problems and added the optional requested "close Player" button.
v1.1: Added option to completely hide the skin when the player is closed.
v1.0.2: Added option to remove tape
v1.0: Scotch Tape release

It seems like that you haven't configured the player name properly. You should right click --> "edit" the skin and enter the player name of choice. I have a link in the description about changing the media player used.

hai )
i was wondering if you could help me with the skin.
it works perfectly, but it doesn't show the album covers and i do not know why D;
everything else is absolutely perfect
im using iTunes.
help please? :3

KreDoc In reply to IrusikToFFee [2012-10-11 17:00:42 +0000 UTC]

Do your song files have the album covers embedded? If you use WMP to play them, do the covers show up?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

IrusikToFFee In reply to KreDoc [2012-10-11 18:15:04 +0000 UTC]

The covers are automatically downloaded for free from iTunes when I add new music.
No, I guess they are only in iTunes's memory like that. :L

Yeah, that's what I thought, too, something is "wrong" with iTunes. Try to post your problem in the Rainmeter forums. This is a general thing, not skin specific, so the Devs would probably like to know.

Hi! I wonder if you can help me. how do i make this show only when something starts playing?

KreDoc In reply to DeusInDaemone [2012-01-05 16:18:38 +0000 UTC]

It can be done. I will upload an updated version with this option included ASAP.

Oh, gosh, thank U!

*and maybe you could help with some other thing - can this skin be scaled? it suits me almost perfect, but if only I could have it, let's say, half the size...

KreDoc In reply to DeusInDaemone [2012-01-05 21:45:51 +0000 UTC]

I just uploaded the new version. Check it out. Regarding to scaling, I will add it to my to-do list. I will send you a note when and if it will be done.

Does this version works correctly? I'm looking forward to your future feedback, when I make the smaller versions.

DeusInDaemone In reply to KreDoc [2012-01-06 00:28:48 +0000 UTC]

it works! another thing - if only you are so kind to do that, and, mmm, maybe i'm to selfish to ask so many thing for update only for myself (would others like it all?) - is a tiny "close player" button somewhere.

Great Music Player. But it only works if I already have WMP open up, or is that the way of using it?

KreDoc In reply to NickatNite89 [2011-12-01 09:32:23 +0000 UTC]

You can change the media player of choice. A lot of media players are supported. Read the description for more information.

NickatNite89 In reply to KreDoc [2011-12-01 21:23:39 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I know that.
What I was trying to say is that I have to have WMP playing in order for it to work. If I just click play nothing happens, and it says no cover available.

KreDoc In reply to NickatNite89 [2011-12-02 11:10:26 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, you are corrent. WMP has to be open because it is the actual player, that plays the song, Rainmeter skins are just a front-end that displays the current song information. You can make the skin launch WMP if you wish, but that's about it.

Souzo [2011-10-22 22:52:05 +0000 UTC]

Nice skin. Just wondering, my album art isnt showing. I edited the player name to zune, and that works, but its just the Album covers that don't show?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

KreDoc In reply to Souzo [2011-10-23 16:42:12 +0000 UTC]

It's because of the player you are using. Check here: [link] . Zune uses WLM interface which offers limited track information and as it seems, no album covers. Sorry

You have to actually edit the case.png, because I do not have the .psd of it (because this skin is a port, and I don't have the source files). But I have done it for you Please re - download the updated pack.
