Public alpha-itunes interface script

Before you download it you should know that:

-I take no responsibility if it messes up your system, or causes any damages of any sort (not that I expect it too, but you never know). This is a public alpha; not all of the features are present and some have been disabled because they don't look right or aren't running smooth enough to show off yet.

-This was designed to run at 800x480. I will, when I have the time make a 800x600 version or whatever you think is necessary. However, I'd like to be in a late beta stage when I do that.

-This script hides the menu bar and you dock. Don't worry, this is what it is supposed to do. You'll get them back when you exit the program.

-Please tell me what you think of it. If you think its crap, that's great, but I want to know why. If you like it tell me how I can make it better for you. If it does something you think is really weird tell me that too. If you have questions about why I did something please ask and I will try to answer.

(Viper was kind enough to host the file for me.)

also, if it makes it any easier for you guys, dashrun.jeffsearch.com will go to that same folder. give it 12 hours or so to be functional.

good start, buts its way too buggy so far. I had to turn off my computer manually because the whole thing froze and i couldn't even force quit the program. The other 3 times i ran it i had to force quit it everytime, not quite sure why. 1.5ghz g4 mac mini. I'm a little confused on the 2 app thing, do you have to open both? or one at a time? It was a little bit laggy. I couldn't browse through my music for some reason, dont know if that is finished yet. but the interface is fine so far.......maybe when you are more finished make the skin look a little more professional/nicer my opinion and see if you can make a plugin for the videos in your library that would be the best feature i think. and if you could use vlc media player within your program thats another really good route to go for divx files etc.....

Ok, I'm not done with moving residences yet but I can tell you that the new feature I'm working on is making the launcher/menu/whatever you want to call it fully user skinable. Also, in regards to this being just a launcher, I am looking into making an "always on top" Main Menu button so you won't have to minimized a program to go back to the main menu.
