Cropping cover art

[apit23]

Hi, I've lots of ideas about making a players but there some problems in achieving it.

My question is can we crop the cover art ? The only other ways to change, crop is by matrix right? But, matrix were too hard to understand for dumb person like me.Or, Is it possible to do it using lua script or is there any else ways?

Please tell me if you didn't understand my question.

Perhaps http://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/meters/general-options/image-options#ImageCrop can help with this.

No, that ImageCrop function has been around for a long time. It works fine with 2.4 as well.
