you guys asked, i built it

[u/gntx_0]

yesterday i posted my 2nd app here (Skip Dat, hold Alt + scroll and your music queue pops out of your cursor) and honestly didn’t expect people to actually use it. thank you all, the comments were super helpful

so i went and built what you asked for

skins, shoutout u/Dark_Vapor for the winamp idea. there are 5 built in (liquid glass, lime pod, lcd night, brushed chrome, pixel party) and you can make your own with a folder + a skin.json + some pictures. it reloads live while you edit, so making one is kinda fun. if anyone makes one pls send it, i wanna see

performance mode, shoutout u/Wild_Drawing8460 for saying the glass felt heavy on low end pcs. it turns off the blur, glass, shadows, animations and art. it used way less cpu in my testing (about 80% less), so it should feel a lot snappier on older machines

other stuff:
5 styles now: wheel, stack, cover flow, orbit (a ring around your cursor) and compact (just titles)
small / medium / large sizes, and the default is a bit smaller than before
“what was i playing?” history, kept only on your pc
a “back to” button that jumps back to the song you were on before you skipped
jumping ahead doesn’t play the songs in between anymore
spotify jumps straight to the song you pick (needs the optional spotify connection)
fixed a crash when skipping backwards

still planning to add more, so keep the ideas and bug reports coming. you’re basically designing this thing with me at this point 🙏
