Title: Mini Player (widget style)
Post by: Bee-liever on March 25, 2014, 01:35:37 PM
Was cleaning up some files and found a mock-up of a widget style player I posted back in discussions on new mini-player ideas.
Now, with the aid of some recently added elements, I've been able to turn that mock-up into a small, fixed-size reality.

Download available from here (http://host-a.net/u/Bee_liever/MinPlay.zip).

You will need the "WebHostingHub Glyphs" font available here (http://www.webhostinghub.com/glyphs/).

You might also find "DeskPins" (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Other-Desktop-Enhancements/DeskPins.shtml) useful to keep the TM on top.

Please see the Wiki (http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/MusicBee_Wiki) for installation instructions or just give a shout here.

Version 1.2: Updated:March 27, 2014

Working great! So the font must be installed to display icons correctly. Thanks for sharing!

added a link to DeskPins
an application recommended by ma_t14, that I find useful for keeping the smaller fixed-size TM's on top of other open windows
