Window Blinds & Windows Media Player 9

February 13, 2004 2:42 PM from

I have Windows XP and Windows Media Player 9. I am thinking of purchasing object desktop but I am concerned by some info I have seen that suggests that WindowsBlinds, DesktopX and ObjectBar prevent the Windows Media Player toolbar from working.

The Windows Media Player toolbar is turned on by right-clicking on the Start menu bar, selecting "Toolbars", and turning "Windows Media Player" on. When you minimize Windows Media Player 9 it then puts a toolbar in the start menu bar.

Can anybody confirm one way or another if the Windows Media Player 9 toolbar works with WindowsBlinds and object desktop?

Thanks

Well it works just fine for me. Right now running WB, WinFX, etc. There is also no problem with it when I run DX or ObjectBar.

Listening to Brando Classic Old Time Radio right now.

I have had no problems with WMP9 since its introduction either.

Thanks, just be to sure we are describing the same thing, WMP 9 is running with the little toolbar with forward, reverse, volume controls etc in the start menu bar just to the right of the clock?

Sounds like it, but I would like to be 100% sure before I part with my cash!

Thanks for the prompt reply

That is the puppy.

BTW you will not be sorry with ObjectDesktop. It is a great suite of programs and renewals are cheaper than the initial price.

Umm, don't you mean just to the left of the clock? To the right and it would be off the screen, since the clock is on the far right lower corner.
The reason I'm commenting is because I was most surprsed how nice the CoronaXP Windowblind looked with that feature. I thought it was built into that skin. I had actually never seen that feature before(Or maybe I just had never paid any attention to it)

Get Object Desktop, you will be amazed. It will make your desktop and computer complete. It's sort of like giving your car a custom paint job, a great wax, and being able to change it at will. Have fun. Oh yeah, don't forget to download my themes.hehe.

Whoops, yes to the left of the clock.

As you pointed out: if to the right it would fall off the screen.

Sorry, I missed that too.

Click on my name to see a screen shot. There it is on the right, to the left of the clock.

There's the mini-mode and Windowblinds working perfectly together.
Never had any issues here with it.

That shot looks awesome. By the way, what skin is that? Mini Mode looks great with CoronaXP too.
