WindowShade Mook
Gonzo-style miniplayer for Purple Rain
If you are a feather developer, please see feathering guide if you wish to support this layout.
Bump compatibility with Songbird 1.10
Hi, I'm trying to get WindowShade to work with my feather. I edited the install.rdf, but ran into problems when trying to edit the css - all changes I make affect the miniplayer layout as well (because of the same #miniplayer id). I'd appreciate it very much, if you could point me in the right direction (neon.verso@gmail.com).
Thanks for your great work.
@Mook: Yeah same as verso! How can I make it work with my feathers? And there is an annoying thing. Every time I switch to Purple Rain feather it starts in this mini-payer mode. It's not so good. Ohh and a suggestion. It would be better if you rename this mode to 'Mini Player (Gonzo)' in the 'View' menu. What do you think?
Great addon, I was really bummed when the devs went with the bigger miniplayer. But one thing I'm finding is that, whenever I switch to Purple Rain from another feather, it open WindowShade. Can you make it so that it opens the main player by default?
Mook,
check out the last Ne+ update - WindowShade's feathered;-)
@Hiromacu:
@foolishgrunt: Bug fixed. Thanks for the report.
@verso: Using it now; will give feedback as I find them.
Thanks for this, I'm glad to have the screen real estate back. Small bug/annoyance: when switching to Windowshade, the player is temporarily about the height of the miniplayer, then fully shrinks. The extra drops off the bottom of windowshade. This is minorly annoying because I like to keep the miniplayer at the very bottom of my screen, and it gets positioned with the extra at the bottom when it loads, which means I then have to drag the player down when the extra bit disappears. I don't know if there's anything that can be done about it, but I would appreciate it if there is. In any event, still better than using the mini player! Thanks!
Songbird 1.4.3, Windows Vista.
@RhaelLathe:
Unfortunately, I do not know of a fix - if you observe carefully, this happened in Gonzo as well (since that's where I stole the code from ;) ). I believe this wasn't the case in rubberducky because there the miniplayer was tall enough to not trigger this, but I'm not completely sure. If you know of anything that will fix this, though, patches are welcome :D

Very nice, it's great to see Gonzo fragments reappearing as add-ons. It works really well, btw, it only needs slight player controls adjustments, but I guess you'll get to that too. - Also, I ran it with Ne+ and it looked ok (definitely feathering material).
Thanks a lot.
