Media Control from toolbar with Rainmeter (WinAmp)

Post by ~Faradey~ »

Hello everyone i just wanted to share with you one trick i recently discovered.
With this trick you can make WinAmp control buttons on windows task bar + using rainmeter ofcourse ;-)
Actualy using this trick you can control everything you want what can be controlled in Rainmeter...but i find it useful to control WinAmp :)

1. You need to create links
Play
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !RainmeterPluginBang "MeasureCommand SendMessage 273 40045 0"
Pause
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !RainmeterPluginBang "MeasureCommand SendMessage 273 40046 0"
Next
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !RainmeterPluginBang "MeasureCommand SendMessage 273 40048 0"
Previous
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe" !RainmeterPluginBang "MeasureCommand SendMessage 273 40044 0"
where MeasureCommand is name of your command measure in your winamp control skin

2. Create or use (u can use mine, download below) existed icons and put them relatively into your links (also rename). Create folder and put them in it (the name of folder can by any e.g. "WinAmp control")

3. Then create new toolbar using this folder | uncheck the item “Show Text” and “Show Title”. Done!


One condition: You need to run Rainmeter and skin!

Have Fun! 8-)

Winamp itself already provides this feature using the built-in plugin "Nullsfot Tray Control". Might be useful for other media players though...

Ok i agree! but lets think deeper... :)
Does Nullsoft Tray Control provides ability to change controll icons on any u want? or can it be placed almost in any place on taskbar? or, is it possible to change buttons sequence what you like? or (i don't know) is it possible to control volume from Nullsoft Tray Control? i'm afraid no...so all i want to say that installing one awesome programm (Rainmeter) much better then adding bunch of app and plugins in system...and more, YOU an author of this skins and u don't have to worry about troyans and such things.
I repeat : "we need think deeper :)"
oh and it works in AIMP to if using a WinAmp skin :)
