hey i download the neon box thingy and it looks great. i do have a problem tho.... my liliput dont wannna display 800x480 so is there an option where i can get it to display at 800x600 because the black bar on top of the app. doesnt look so appealing. let me know neondev. thanks keep up the good work.

yeah I just posted this in the AMP forum. 800x600 resolution will be available in release 6. just be patient for a couple of weeks

make sure you have the latest version available here
neonboombox.com

what you are describing sounds like a bug I introduced in release 5b has bitten you.

I am improperly trying to get the itunes location from the itunes preference file. I have fixed this in release 6 (not yet publicly available)

there are several ways to "fix" it in 5b, the easies would be to delete the itunes preference file from your library. If you need help with that I can explain it in more detail.

release 6 will be coming out this weekend FYI

EDIT: the post i was responding to seems to have vanished... it was regarding NBB failure to launch.

I have that problem, but reverted back to the old version. I'll just wait for release 6 this weekend. What else is coming in v6??

**NeonDev** · 03-19-2008, 05:43 PM

it remembers user prefs. it is resolution independent (to an extent) support for any album art that finder can display (includes the non-embedded art downloaded through itunes)
expanded key binding support for all screens. thats pretty much it.

not alot of features but it was quite a bit of work (or rework in the case of album art I completely rewrote that)

also it not "version 6" its "release 6" its not even version 1 yet (in my eyes)

looks like release 6 will also incorporate experimental scroll as you drag (dragging in the table view acts exactly as if you were dragging the scroll nib in a vertical scrollbar) which has been a much requested feature. hope you all find it satisfactory

How do I get ahold of one of the older versions so it works on my OSX 10.4? The newest one is only leapard

**NeonDev** · 05-08-2008, 09:27 AM

the only builds that ever ran under 10.4 were incapable of doing much. I don't think any of them could even play music they were just posted to show proof of concept. I don't myself have any of those but they may still exist in threads on this board...

NBB uses far too many and plans on using even more technology that is leopard only.

quicklook, coverflow, and core animation are the big three reasons why it will never be built for 10.4
