Windows 7 + Milkdrop Desktop Mode = No Icons

yusky03 · 15th February 2010, 04:55

No matter what setting and transparency the desktop icons will not show.

Any Ideas?

i'm guessing you're using a 64-bit version of the OS which isn't supported by vms_desktop.dll which needs to have a 64-bit version created to be able to hook into the desktop to do the drawing. at the moment i don't there's much chance of a fix as i've never seen the source code for that dll in the winamp repositories.

Anything new here?
I have the same problem with windows 7 64-bit version

MilkDrop v 2.25c version. I know the source was released and I downloaded it, but it is beyond me.
Any hints how or what to change to make it works like it should?

it won't do what you're wanting without a 64-bit vms_desktop.dll (which is not available to my knowledge). so unless the maintainers of that can provide a version. there's no solution available.
