What file format do I want to save my desktop in ?

I don't know what I've done different since last time but I can't get a decent image saved. I currently have it as a *.psp file as its clean but jpg/png/bmp all blur :(

marc2003, can you zip up that foobar2000 you're using (or send the config files and what not), it looks great.

hehe. it took me hours of trawling threads on hydrogenaudio.org to get this working. it's not quite as easy as copying the config files in your foobar directory.

it's a lot of effort even when you (just about) know what you are doing. as a starting point you'll need all your cover art already downloaded. i'm going to assume it's all in jpg format and is various sizes? because that's no good. they all need to be 1:1 aspect ratio and in png format. so you'll need irfanview to convert it all (tis very easy, just a few mouse clicks to do the whole lot in one go). also i hope your folder structure/tagging is organised otherwise you might as well give up now..... :p

post back if you need help with the image conversion..... or maybe start a new thread. this could get messy... :D

Bugger :p

I did get album art to show the first time I used it but never got round to customising it more (and have done even less since formatting a few months back), was hoping i could just nab yours :p but since that isn't the case i'll do some research and try to come up with something I like :)

you might just be inluck. a new version of the component i'm using to display the album art has been released. it supports jpg files which also don't have to be 1:1. apparently it can resize them on the fly. once i've had a play with it, i'll post my config here. :D

I use a variety of programs, including Samurize (taskbar client), Avedesk (for big icons on left) CD Art Display, Rainlendar, TClock, RK Launcher, Styler, WindowBlinds, and Vitrite (for transparency effects). And trust me it's definitely Windows XP :D



If you got any questions just ask ! :)
