Attention, Skin-Developers! Your skins have to be updated a little bit!
Please take a look at this Wiki entry, where I documented the changes I made to my skins. You might not need to repeat all these changes, but some of them for sure.

Changes Pure Player:
* Added: Function to move the player: Hold CTRL-Key to drag & drop the player everywhere. Gamers can still use the borders of the Pure Player to move, too.
* Added: Option "Snap to Window Borders".
* Added: New objects for Skin-Developers: "Track-Info" in single-line (like in Mainplayer), "time elapsed"-label, "custom"-button, "JumpTo"-button.
* Changed: More accurate HotSpot.
* Changed: Cover-Change is more smooth (no more "No Cover"-Art in between)
* Changed: Some Code improvements.

Changes Default Skin:
* Fixed Seekbar
* Fixed NoCover - Art
* Fixed Disabled Autoscroll Labels
* Changed Font-size
* Changed size of volumebar, to make it easier to maximize the volume

This is a really big update. If you don't like it, remember that you can always go back to the stable and good working 0.6.7.0 Version!

Completely new Skinning engine:
* New layouts & looks are possible => more different Skins.
* All skins will be optional and can be created and downloaded separately.
* Old skins are not compatible! (Maybe I update one or two skins from the old version, later)
* Feather-Developers will have to create a new "Current Feather"-Skin. Tutorials have been updated.

Check out the "Known Issues" in the description, before you report a problem please.

Thanks to Hiromacu, deOmega & martin_bighomer for beta-testing.

* Added context menu to switch Skins
* Added option to show/hide Shuffle/Repeat-Buttons
* Added option to show/hide Volume-Bar

* Fixed incompatibility of "Glossy"-Skin with some feathers
* Fixed context menu for miniplayer and mediumplayer.

* Changed the "Switch To Mainplayer"- and "Close"-Buttons. Feather-Devs will have to update their custom skins a little bit.

* Other minor changes.

Please do not create new Skins at the moment. I'm planning some major changes for version 0.7 and I'm not yet sure if the old skins will be perfectly compatible. So please wait for 0.7.


Version: 0.6.5.2

  • Uploaded 11 months ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.0 - 1.2.0

* Changed: Moved menuitem "Pure Player (allied)" down a little bit.
* Changed "default" skin.

* Added support for optional animated images. Currently only Birdie skin uses this feature a little bit.
* Added new Skin "Gonzo" (to fit good with the default Feather)
* Added option to switch off "Remember state of Pure Player (allied)" through Songbird-Restart.
* Added better support for showing Album Art from streams & radios (like last.fm).

* Fixed the bug, that a switch to Gonzo (default) always ended up in Pure Player. (Yay Finally!!! :-)
* Fixed strange Video-Window appeareance on closing "Pure Player (allied)".
* Fixed "Time-Elapsed"-Position. It's now on one baseline with album name.
* Fixed Album-Window showed up when Player-Controls are double-clicked.
* Fixed "Ctrl+Shift+P" in Pure Player could open a second Pure Player Window.
* Fixed close-button of Pure Player.
  =>@Featherers:, in order to skin the close-button, please change in your pureplayer.css "sb-sys-close-button.mini" to "#pureview_close_button", because the first one no longer exists!


Version: 0.6.0.0

Update on "MainWindow + Pure Player"-Mode, from now on known as "Pure Player (allied)":
* Changed Hotkey to "Ctrl + Shift + P", because of collision with printing function.
* Added menu entry in "View" Menu.
* Pure Player (allied) remembers its state. If it was open, before you switched feather or restarted Songbird, Pure Player reopens.
* Close button now closes Pure Player all the time. If mainplayer is still open (allied), it switches to it, if not, it shuts down Songbird.
* Pure Player (allied) is closed, when you enter Pure Player Options, to prevent malfunctions. (Maybe I find a better solution later...)

Merged Contribution:
* New skin "Chrome" created by Hiromacu added. Thanks, Hiromacu!

Under the hood:
* Some bugs fixed
* A lot of code cleaning, compression and commenting.


Version: 0.5.5.4

  • Uploaded 11 months ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.0 - 1.2.0a

* Added an option for Stevo, to show Pure Player AND Mainplayer together.
This is very convenient, if you switch a lot between Pure Player and your Library/Browser.
Press Hotkey [CTRL] + "P" in the Mainplayer (Library), to open or close an additional Pure Player window. In this mode, Pure Players "Switch to Mainplayer"-Button brings the Mainplayer to the front. The exit button still exits Songbird!
This works for all feathers, not only for the especially adapted ones.
Consider this function as beta. There are some known problems:
* Problems with window-shadows on XP (they can remain on the desktop).
* Problems when Pure Player Options are changed while Pure Player is open.

* Changed the default settings (& options dialog).
I changed the default settings to "no round borders" and "use shadow", because this is working better on all machines.

This is a good update, I think :)

* Better compatibility with other feathers like YABS. I recommend to update both, YABS and Pure Player, to the latest versions now.
* All labels and elements have the intended size & position now.
* Fixed a bug where Pure Player wouldn't come to the front, if you were using it with edgy borders.
* Under the hood: simplified the XUL, optimized the css.

If you still experience bugs or glitches, please leave a comment!
(besides the" Known Issues" in the description, of course)

One thing I couldn't solve so far, is the problem that some labels are cut off by one pixel sometimes.
I would really appreciate it, if someone could help me out here!

* Ups, there was an error (unclosed tag) in install.rdf.

This should fixes the problem, that the menu entry is not shown.
