Maybe that's what I have... was that the Ogg Vorbis update for Winamp 2.8?

No, 2.80 added Vorbis support. 2.81 fixed a bunch of bugs and changed a few plugins.

I just updated to v2.81 a few minutes ago, and I can't get the Winamp symbol to stay in the right-hand bar after I close the programme, as I've always had it.

Any solution to this?

PS: no one has guessed what's different about my desktop compared to most posted here so far.

Your options might have been changed. Go into Preferences -> Options -> Display and look for the box that says "Show Winamp in..."

You're running at 640x480?

Shit, it's screwy no matter what I do.

As for the Secret of My Desktop, here's a hint: look at the icons.

I run at 1024x768, by the way.

Your computer is named Sarah?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-05 12:26am

Yes.

I thought that my computer deserved a persona of some sort, so I named her Sarah, one of my favourite women's names.

Utsanomiko sometimes changes it to Mr Scrugglepuss or something, which can take a while to notice.

Sarah's a good name for a computer. And that's a very realistic RX-78 pic.

Wait, you live with Utsanimoko?

They're brothers.

Utsanomiko commutes to Iowa daily with our older sister, who's in the Law school. They live in Marion, while I live in one of the dorms.

We go to our house in CR on the weekends.

He often uses Sarah while he's here, to post or play games.

Spanky, you scare me. You live in Iowa, yet use the British spelling of "program". That's it, no more Red Dwarf for you!

(And yes, Utsanomiko does use Spanky's computer alot. It is much more l33t.)

Ack, forgot my desktop.

Although I just changed my wallpaper yesterday, I like this one more anyways.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-05 12:51am

Hey, Dark Primus.

I use British spellings for everything, actually.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2002-12-05 12:55am

Weirdo.

Hey, by the way, I figured out why your wallpaper looks so photorealistic. Could it be that it is, in fact, a photograph of a MG or PG RX-78-2 model, with CG for the sky and possibly the eye lighting?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-12-05 01:05am

I doubt it. I'm 100% convinced that it's a painting, as it came from MAHQ's gallery section.

If it was a model, you could tell due to scaling and materials.

Hey, to possibly solve my Winamp problem, is it possible to downgrade to back to ver. 2.8?

I don't think so...and what is the problem precisely? Post a screencap...

That's why I got it confused with the Power Rangers; the pic didn't look like a cartoon to me, although I wasn't entirely sure.

I see on the text types you use that you are using the default version of Ahras theme.
...alrighty...

Yeah well check my system fonts vs. yours, does look better with the windows fonts I think

Didn't I give you my version once?

Well, personal preference.
