Hello! I'm fairly new to rainmeter, so I decided to try out some skins recently. Specifically, the one I'm focusing on right now is this:
https://www.deviantart.com/ladynaga/art/Terezi-Rainmeter-Skin-245438412
I noticed that it had winamp support, so I thought to myself that changing it to be musicbee compatible would be easy, but I'm completely stuck. The old formating of this skin makes it very hard to edit when comparing it to the modern documentation. Really all I want to accomplish with this is making it display the current song like it would with winamp, controlling musicbee is a secondary issue. I should probably note this, but the winamp compatibility is perfect.
I would post some code in this, but I'm not really sure where to start.
I'm currently running rainmeter Ver. 4.4 rev 3433 and windows 10 Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362.
It is currently April 19th, 2024, 10:05 am

I tried to rewrite the skin, but for some reasons "NowPlaying" doesn't work with MusicBee (CAD)..

Re: Help with iupdating an old skin's format from winamp to musicbee.
I have AIMP as main player and MusicBee as secondary for some tasks. Tested twice in my own skin and in Terezi - the same result. No clues why. It seems i gonna dig it..xX_bazingaboy_Xx wrote: ↑February 28th, 2021, 9:28 am That doesn't bode well. Have you tried using CAD with NowPlaying on a different skin? It might be a specific issue with the one I posted.

For NowPlaying to work with MusicBee you must enable "CD Art Display" plugin in MusicBee>Edit>EditPreferences>Plugins.
Then restart MusicBee
Then restart MusicBee

Okay, you may have it.
Rewritten for NowPlaying, some function doesn't work or work badly, because i won't go to rewrite whole skin, but your main request works good. 
Also you may dig the skin a bit to understand how it works in comparing with old and new measures/bangs.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll be sure to look over the code in an effort to better understand the way rainmeter works. Again, thanks!deflore08 wrote: ↑February 28th, 2021, 10:21 am Okay, you may have it.
