The new version of CEInfoBar will be completely modular and use plug-ins. Just to test things out, I wrote a Winamp 2.x controller? Plug-in Modules will be ActiveX, so? If you have Windows, you can try the Winamp module by going here . Make sure you have Winamp running before you open the page or it will error.

Any way, you will be able to add modules like this along with other modules like a bar graph or line graph. The modules will be able to accept system values such as ?[PhysicalRAMUsed]? as say the value of a bar graph.

Any one feeling adventurous can use the CEControls in the cab file that it downloads. Just open VB up and go to Project then Components and check off ?CEControls?. It might error saying that it can?t load an object, in which case you will need a DLL or OCX. If so (I haven?t tested it) tell me and I will say that it doesn?t work, otherwise, it works. =)

UPDATE: Uploaded a new version that wont complain if winamp isnt running, and has a lot more features and bugfixes. If you get any errors, empty temp internet files and refresh a few times.
