New design of the "About Box"

synthetiq · 27th August 2007, 15:56

Well, wouldn't be nice to make a new animation/desing of the about box of winamp
the actual one is kinda old school and ugly, i mean the credits tab, and the version history of almost minor versions of winamp (!!)its too long
please update that

thankx

what? the about page was altered in 5.36 (as you've already posted in that thread i see) so that it doesn't show everything and is more concise in showing just the version that you want to look at or is there something i'm completely missing from your post?

ok ok
what about the credits visualisation ?
sorry but its just my opinion, it looks ugly!

Nah, the old credits tab is cool, it's the same thing like in the good ol' 2.x series, so it must stay.

it's not quite the same since the easter egg flame effect was made default. but really does it matter for something that's looked at maybe once by anyone?

for the effort needed to make a new one it's just not worth it unless say some demo scene coder was able to come up with something snazy that wouldn't cause any real extra code increase in winamp.exe (as a direct replacement of the plush driven code that is currently used)
