Newpaper Desktop 1.0

Thanks for the links Matt. The skin in Gnometer works well, but no way to show the album art with this damn foo_httpcontrol.dl file. Finally I'm not really sure to add a player skin...

I've got a question, what title would you give to the the skin I created (Cf attachment) instead of "Notes". I thought about "Graphics" but I'm not sure it's the right term in english.

I think "System" would be an appropriate title for that skin, Tatenokai.

Keeping with the newspaper theme, how about "Trends" or "Ticker?"

Stats would be a good name I think

The sciences stuff that all those professors knows about.
Great name for it. ;)

Also, have a look at this: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/sysmonitor/rainmeter/?qh=&section=&q=foobar+with+album+cover#/d2fl9mt

For now I choose "System Stats" (It's a mix of your propositions )

@Chewtoy : It's rightly the skin I tried, but no way to make appear the album art or the artist/album/song name (only the control buttons work). Nevertheless when I go to http: // 127.0.0.1:8888 on my browser I can see all the Info (even the album art). The problem is maybe linked to the Skin, but I don't know what.

Otherwise I have released the 2.0 Version http://tatenokai.deviantart.com/art/Newspaper-Desktop-2-0-198008273

This newer foobar2000 skin works with the latest version of foo_httpcontrol and it requires foo_vis_shpeck. It was kind of a pain to get it set up correctly, though.

It works, thanks

I'm going to include it for a next release !

Just a post to say that my desktop has won the 9. Contest of Deskmodder.de http://deskmodder-de.deviantart.com/blog/39357694/

Thanks to all of you for helping me to have made it !

PS: I'm still working on it. I don't think I'm going to do much big changes, but there's still thing that I want to add (the player as requested, animation on the opening paper, etc.)
