A note to Tucows Downloads visitors:
All good things…
We have made the difficult decision to retire the Tucows Downloads site. We’re pleased to say that much of the software and other assets that made up the Tucows Downloads library have been transferred to our friends at the Internet Archive for posterity.
The shareware downloads bulletin board system (BBS) that would become Tucows Downloads was founded back in 1993 on a library computer in Flint, MI. What started as a place for people in the know to download software became the place to download software on the burgeoning Internet. Far more quickly than anyone could have imagined.
A lot has changed since those early years. Tucows has grown and evolved as a business. It’s been a long time since Tucows has been TUCOWS, which stood for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software.
Today, Tucows is the second-largest domain name registrar in the world behind Go Daddy and the largest wholesaler of domain names in the world with customers like Shopify and other global website builder platforms. Hover offers domain names and email at retail to help people brand their life online. OpenSRS (and along the way our acquisitions of Enom, Ascio and EPAG) are the SaaS platforms upon which tens of thousands of customers have built their own domain registration businesses, registering tens of millions of domains on behalf of their customers. Ting Internet is building fiber-optic networks all over the U.S. At the same time, we’re building the Mobile Services Enabler SaaS platform that is powering DISH’s entry into the US mobile market.
Point is, we’re keeping busy.
For the past several years, history, well sentimentality, has been the only reason to keep Tucows Downloads around. We talked about shutting the site down before. Most seriously in 2016 when instead, we decided to go ad-free, keeping the site up as a public service.
Today is different. Tucows Downloads is old. Old sites are a maintenance challenge and therefore a risk. Maintaining the Tucows Downloads site pulls people away from the work that moves our businesses forward.
Tucows Downloads has had an incredible run. Retiring it is the right move but that doesn’t alter the fact that it will always hold a special place in hearts and our story. We’re thankful to the thousands of software developers who used Tucows Downloads to get their software in front of millions of people, driving billions of downloads over more than 25 years.

Thank you.

A note to Tucows Downloads Authors/Developers
Keygen iveco easy. If you’re a developer who used the Tucows Author Resource Center (ARC) as part of your software dissemination, to buy code signing or other services, we’re happy to help with the transition.
Any certificates purchased through ARC remain valid. If you’re looking to buy or renew code signing certificates, we invite you to go straight to the source; Sectigo was our supplier and will be happy to be yours too.
Feel free to reach out to us at help@tucows.com if we can help with anything at all.
Introduction
By default, 5 themes are embedded in TunesArt since version 1.0 released in october 2010. TunesArt also supports external themes, stored in a bundle with a “coverStyle” extension. These themes can be installed easily, just by double-clicking on the file. Here, you’ll learn how to create a theme.
1/ File format
Themes are just a bundle with a special extension.
To create such a bundle, first create a folder with Mac OS X Finder, then add “.coverStyle” at the end of the folder name.
All your themes files will be stored in this bundle. The only required files are “settings.plist” (define all themes settings) and “preview.png” (used to display a theme preview in TunesArt preferences). Other files are typically images.
2/ Settings
You can download an example of a settings.plist file here : SettingsTemplate.zip
Here are some explanations on how themes work. First image explains that all your theme images are always displayed on top of music track artwork. Second image will show you all size/position settings (artwork and theme images).
CoverType
Type: integer
Possible values: 0, 1, 2
0 is for a plain artwork, without any other theme image. Only one theme should use this setting (already embedded into TunesArt).
1 is for a theme with an overlay image (see “Background” setting), but no mask.
2 is for a theme with an overlay image and a mask.
Background
Type: string
Example value: overlay.png
This setting defines the overlay image to use in your theme. If your CoverType is equal to 0, please define the Background value to “null”. Note that this overlay will always be placed on top of the track’s artwork, so don’t forget to use alpha transparency in your overlay image, otherwise you’ll not see your artwork! Overlay is typically used to add a shadow around the artwork and some lighting effects on top of artwork.
BackgroundWidth
Type: integer
Example value: 500
This is the width of your overlay image, in pixels.
BackgroundHeight
Type: integer
Example value: 500
This is the height of your overlay image, in pixels.
BackgroundRatio
Type: float
Example value: 1.189
TunesArt doesn’t calculate the ratio of your background image, so please define it (ratio=width/height).
Mask
Type: string
Example value: mask.png
Mask image is only used if CoverType is equal to 2 (in other cases, please define this value to “null”). A mask is useful to get non-square artworks: create a grayscale PNG image (white = opaque, black = transparent). The mask will be applied to the track’s artwork, and then the overlay will be added on top.
PosX
Type: integer
Example value: 15
Artwork X position in pixels, starting from left.
PosY
Type: integer
Example value: 15
Artwork Y position in pixels, starting form bottom.
Width
Type: integer
Example value: 400
Artwork width, in pixels.
Height
Type: integer
Example value: 400
Artwork height, in pixels.
Opacity
Type: float
Example value: 0.6
This defines the opacity value of the artwork (overlay image is not affected by this setting).
TextAlign
Type: string
Possible values: center, left
This setting defines the text alignment of elements under the album cover (track’s title, artist, …)
3/ Preview image
Tunesart Review
A theme should always include a preview image, used by TunesArt preferences window.
This preview image must absolutely follow these guidelines:
– Size: 128 x 128 px
– Format: 24bits PNG with transparent background
– Filename: “preview.png”
Please also include a Retina version of 256 x 256 px named “preview@2x.png”.
4/ Conclusion
Juniper usb to serial driver. When you’re done, test your theme by double-clicking on the bundle.
Be careful: your theme will be automatically moved (and not just copied) to your user “Library/Application Support/TunesArt” folder.
Tunesart Alternative
If everything is OK, you can ZIP your theme and send it.
