WinAmpFu & SkypeFu

techsgtchen · 08-25-06, 10:33 AM

I am liking fubar and I remember seeing that blizzard added itunes controls for mac users. I was wondering if someone could create a fubar - winamp control panel where we could have some basic ingame controls for winamp. Versus having to alt-tab out.

My idea for SkypeFu is similar to my idea of WinAmpFu. Maybe have an enhanced Friend's list panel that has a list of your friends who have SkypeFu installed as well? If you know Skype then hopefully you can see what I am thinking. Skype already functions a lot like a friend's list.

I have no idea how feasible any of this is. So I apologize if it's absured. Thank you for your time though.

I think this is impossible as Blizzard forbids the UI from making any calls to an external program (ie. this used to be able to allow bots and whatnot).

If you use Winamp 5.xx you can set global hotkeys in the Winamp preferences.
I have e.g. Ctrl-Alt-PageUp for previous song, Ctrl-Alt-PageDown for next song, Ctrl-Alt-End for Stop etc.
