Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18654 (March 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

The old Bento skin was developed by Martin Pöhlmann, Ben Allison and Taber Buhl.
The new BentoX skin has these modifications:
  • Flat title bar
  • Flat grey window minimize, maximize and close buttons
  • Dark player buttons
  • Flat dark scroll bars and handles
  • Flat rectangular notification window

Feedback welcome!

Version 1.2.3 released.

What's new:
  • Set fonts in player and info display slightly bold and anti-aliased
  • Added instructions in readme file to set "Tahoma" font consistently through interface (could not change it via .xml only)

Instructions to set "Tahoma" font:
  • Preferences/Skins/Modern Skins/Font Rendering/: check "Use Skin Font Mapper" and "Configure ...": Map Font "Arial" into "Tahoma" (New+Close)
  • Preferences/Playlist/: Uncheck "Use skin or language pack font" and Use font: "Tahoma"

Hi,

The second preference option in reply #3 above is for Winamp. In WACUP, this option is in Preferences/General/Appearance.
