_{Daily Deviation, 2008-06-12}

^{ThaWall-DLX by =OtisBee ...Imagine you're having a party and you want to offer something a little different for playing music. This skin does just that. The interface spans your entire screen with one of many cool wallpapers, displays the album cover and information of the song playing, as well as giving you the usual interface controls. Anyone can enjoy using this "jukebox" style skin. (Featured by ^mrrste)}

AMAZON COVER DOWNLOAD FIXED

Since August 15th, 2009 Amazon changed the way an application should request for any information including CD cover images.
Now a request should be encrypted.
As a consequence, CD Art Display 2.0 search cover feature doesn't work anymore.
Well, i'm glad to tell you that there's a new CD Art Display search cover module updated to work with the new Amazon.com API.
To install just copy the new cadSearch.exe into CD Art Display's root folder that usually is C:\Program Files\CD Art Display\

download the new CD Art Display Search Cover Module from ........................ here

_{hi, i'm OtisBee...

...and apart from the occasional wallpaper and dock skin i mostly do skins for an app called CD Art Display 2.0 (aka CAD2.0)

...it has always been both my pleasure and purpose to create skins that show certain capabilities, features or functionalities of CAD and then combine that with a touch of my own style.

...also i'm an admin of the cdartdisplay.com forum.
so, whenever you feel like it and whenever you'd like to get some more input, info, talk or help on CAD, just consider yourself as being friendly invited.}

Pimp my Skin..

_{..if you ever feel like you've done everything you could to setup your CAD skin, but still have a slight impression that something still can be done although you just don't have a clue of what that might be, then this forum thread could be the place for you to post your skin and either =barberioX or I will excessively scrutinize that skin's skin.ini file in order to see if there's anything that can still be pimped.

i hope that this service comes in handy for you in any way and besides, that you make use of it. it's completely free and we won't even take credits for our efforts.

so, keep them skins coming.}
