hey nate (or anyone really),

1 more question.  what would you recommend for making custom icons?  I have photoshop and i'm pretty good using it but are there other programs more better equipped at making custom icons?

also, thanks for the compliments job van dam.  as for the next song playing tags, I really only added them because I personally use shuffle ALOT.  It's good to see what's coming up next, especially for parties with custom playlists.

Nate!:
aww dang, so you were just showing your code.  Well in that case, umm, yeah looks good. :-[

Towards the top, under the %X, use: %Cl|160|125||| to define coordinates.

I put my tag to actually show the album art, at the bottom of the wps file to make sure it doesn't interfere with the Album Art itself.  I had this invisible line through album art in the beginning and it took me hours to figure it out.

Anyway, use: %?C to show album art.
The %xdy loads a 255,0,255 square the same size as the Album art.  Just to wipe things clean if there isn't any album art present for a song/album.  I think you could just leave that last part off and it would probably do the same thing.  Have to test that myself. I may be loading something unnecessarily.

As for icon making: The Gimp is GNU licensed.  (Free for personal use.)  The Gimp is pretty powerful for all types of image editing/creation.  mtPaint is also of the same license and is more specifically for icon creating/editing, but is a decent image editor in general.

Sorry for the long posts.

Personally I don't like your background at all, but I guess that is a matter of taste. You might want to check the functionality and legibility in different lighting environments, for example in a car in sunlight, under fluorescent lighting, in darkness etc.

resizing works for me (use moded build though)

%?C
%Cl|x|y|scZ|scZ|

sc = resize and center

Z = how big it is

ex.
%Cl|6|24|sc55|sc55|
so it would display a 55 X 55 album art at 6 to the right and 24 down.

would look like this

Mad Cow:
Yea, yhere's a resize patch that work perfectly, my build has it.
