[icon] iTunes Replacement / Coverflow Style

http://bp1.blogger.com/_FP6hnj2vLkg/R6i44KKjhQI/AAAAAAAAAGI/LngSKaB8FUA/s400/itunesreplacement.png
The era of Cd's is over, Digital music is here to stay. So associating music with Cd's is pretty odd in this digital world. I haven't bought a music cd since Y2K.

So i refreshed the old iTunes icon with a thing that is strongly associated with itunes, Coverflow!

Re: [icon] iTunes Replacement / Coverflow Style

I understand your point, but it looks too empty in a dock filled with colorful icons with lots of details, maybe you can rotate it a few degrees

I think this is both simple, and very sexy... One suggestions, IMO would be to make it slightly smaller. Looks a little big on my dock! Oh and I dig your name brah!! I can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve! smile_thumbup

It would be awesome if you could alter the transparency on your icon so the cover art shows better. big_smile

Wow, Nice to see someone taking some time for the project I was thinking that the whole default image would be replaced by the albumcover. if coversutra can do it, iTunes definitely have too!

Actually, all I did was replace the "CoverSutra" and "dockTile" icons in resources.

There is an iTunes plugin, but I haven't a clue on how to hack that.

Or maybe Dan could write a script for his Artwork app?

Yeah we should definitely ask Dan, maybe i should tweak the icon for the best results with cover, what do you think maybe making the middle a little smaller so you get a glimpse of the ones behind, even with the artwork with no transparancy. just a thought. wink

I'd like very much if you can realize some itunes filetypes like this. I think that can be a good idea, I'm wrong?
