Meet the new oTunes widget

So if you've noticed at all, the main blog, in the Records division's pages, now uses a widget developed by Dozerfleet Labs: an imitation / mock iTunes window for tracklist tables. This lets you browse Every Ape and His Brother songs by album through a directory that looks like iTunes 6 or 7, the versions of that Apple software that were popular when the Every Ape collection started. The new wiki on Miraheze uses a variation of the same.

If you feel you'd like to have this mockup iTunes widget for yourself, it's now available in the Software and Crafts tab on this blog, under oTunes Mockup Tracklist Table.

Bear in mind, it isn't exactly identical. The exact design for iTunes is technically patented by Apple. But if you are content with a navigation box that looks very similar to the legendary music player by Apple, that copies it to the closest extent legally and code-technically possible in accordance with Dozerfleet crew design skills, this widget will suffice.

If you don't mind an even messier code experience, and would like to get a more precise imitation that is more specific to Webkit browsers, feel free to check out Simon Li's Portfolio. If you'd prefer this less-precise imitation from Dozerfleet Labs, that works in Edge and Firefox too, stay tuned.
