Major Changes

L33TSig 2 addresses several major issues that existed in version 1.

Stability - it shouldn't crash
Better logging - for when things do go wrong, they'll be easier to see why and fix
Multi-threaded - the GUI doesn't freeze when an update is in progress
Uses Windows' shell-style - no more Windows 9x-look!
Portable - you can run it from a USB memory stick or portable hard-drive
Working CPU Load percentage in Vista (SP1 or newer)

Documentation

This section should help you work out how to use some of the more complicated lines.

foobar2000

Requirements:

foobar2000 [1]
COM Automation Server component [2]

How to use:

Once you have the COM server installed and have restarted foobar2000, you can then use the same tags you'd use for title-bar formatting in foobar2000 in L33TSig (enclosed in [ and ] brackets)

Example:

Raw: foobar2000: [title] by [artist] from [album]
Parsed: foobar2000: Voodoo People by Prodigy from Music For The Jilted Generation

Weather

Requirements:

Web access to the Yahoo Weather XML feeds

How to use:

Go to weather.yahoo.com and search for your city or town in the search box. You'll either be taken straight to the weather page for your locaation, or given a list of matching locations - click the appropriate location in the list.

Once on the weather page for your location, the URL should be something like http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/UKXX0619.html. Take the 8-character location code in the URL and substitute that for the one in the default Weather line.

Example:

Raw: [weather=UKXX0619]The weather in [location] is [description]. The temperature is [temp]C.
Parsed: The weather in South Teddington, UK is Fair. The temperature is 19C.

WinAmp

Requirements:

WinAmp [3]
AMIP Plugin for WinAmp [4]
AMIP Configurator [5]

Configuration:

You can configure WinAmp and AMIP however you like, there is only one thing that must be done for this to work.

Load the AMIP Configurator
Configure the File output to save to "winamp.txt" in either of two locations:
- The L33TSig 2 folder in your application data folder (if you're running the non-portable LS2)
- Whatever location L33TSig2.exe is installed in, usually C:\Program Files\L33TSig2\
To change what text is shown in LS2, you must run the AMIP configurator again and change the format it outputs to winamp.txt

Example:
