It is designed after EdgePlayer 3.0 but offers additional features and removes in my opinion unneeded meters which are often not provided.
- MouseHover of the Controls (Displays another in another color if you mouseover the icons)
- LeftClick anywhere on the bar and drag'n'drop however you like to set the media player to a specific position of your song
- Smart Aligner - perfectly divides the bar into 100 parts
- RightClick and drag'n'drop to set the volume to a specified volume
- Low Profile Update - Updates and renders only necessary updates
- Hides if Player is inactive (EdgePlayer 3.0) and shows if Player is active again
- Fits each WorkArea automatically since it works with #SCREENAREAWIDTH#
Revolutionary Note-Design which involves seperate NoteSkins which can be called smartly by detecting the Active
State in the [Rainmeter]
Configuration file.
