For the coding gurus, this isn't really much, but since I don't have much VB experience (more like 2-3 days, haha), it's my first masterpiece. It's a winamp lyrics manager because I kinda got sick of having to dig through my slow hard drive to look for the lyrics to my songs, so I devised a way to find out what song Winamp is playing, and automatically update the program to display the lyrics (if there are any). I'm still working on fixing the save routine for the lyrics database (just a text file, lol), but this is a working model already. Just a few API stuff here and there, so nothing much to be awed at, but the way it works is kinda ingenious (just getting the winamp caption and getting the title, lol!). If this don't impress people then maybe it will give some ideas on what you can do in your spare time. haha rofl



Edit: That's Benoit's WWE entrance music! LOL!

Not bad, but you do know there's an option to turn off the song name in the caption? This would stop your program from working. Also, there are quite a few lyric plugins for Winamp (versions 2.8, 3 and 5). It's a nice practise project though.

Not really, it's good practice.

They can be found at Winamp.com, just search "Lyrics".

great job r_k, this is usually the start of a great idea - writing a program for yourself that is handy, then seeing if anyone else wants it. good job!

Unless he meant the XP Skin, in which case you need StyleXP. Once installed, it's the 'XPTheme' visual style under the 'Community' theme.

Search google for uxtheme.dll
It does the same thing and is free.

pffff....Why download something when XP can do it for you? I just got the Community.Theme file and the corresponding folder from my teacher and I got it to work by simply using display properties. Choose Community and ThemeXP in the appearance tab and poof! It's made by the community anyway so no there's no problem because their intent was to share it with other people anyway
