New skin: Pixelpusher

[Cleanup]

I didn't steal the name from Tac-Man. I honestly just did this this morning and read Tac-Man's post before posting this. Honest coincidence. Name suggestions are welcome, but I prefer the name 'Pixelpusher.'

Like Tac-Man, I'm trying to score with originality in this one, but I'm going for aesthetics, too.

Inspired by Connect-X! It's skinme!, not skinyou!!

And in fact, this is a thread for two: Pixelpusher, and Nuclear Memory 2.

Out of pure greed, I decide Pixelpusher shall get the first post. :D

Suggestions welcome. Colour suggestions, too. Maybe that blue is weird.

[Cleanup]

Nuclear Memory II.

Again, suggestions welcome.

[Cleanup]

Oops. I read the rest of Tac-Man's thread. Okay. Maybe 'Pixelpusher' is outta the question. Name suggestions! Yagh!

[_Blackdog_]

i wouldn't use the name pixelpusher. its the name of a former forum member. here's his website:
http://pixelpusher.freeservers.com/Winamp/tutorials/Introduction.htm
its also the name of a site for gfx/html tuts
http://pixelpusher.com

even if you did think of it on your own, i wouldn't use it.

about the skin... its interesting, but i can't say its my style. and nm2 looks cool :up:

[Cleanup]

Okay, any name suggestions? Preferably something with 'pixel' in it. lol.

[Mr_Tough_Guy]

it certainly looks different, reminds me of those old 8 bit games, love the colours :D

[Cleanup]

It's a Lego-Reminiscent piece of retro-art. :D

Elevator Action.:)

[skinme!]

gorgeous. i can see some c-x influences but i think it's much more. It's funky and i want it. I think you should call it spixelise. coz i rule your thought processes. and i have dirt on you.

nuc mem2 looks good too... i'm really into the first one though and at the mo i can concentrate on two different ideas. sue me for $gazillions

[Cleanup]

Spixelize or Spixelise? I think it's a 'z.' "Pixelize."

[Cleanup]

The EQ bars look messy. :( Suggestions?

[Cleanup]

Ah! The almighty Cleanup has solved it! By moving the EQ display a pixel higher, he sacrifices functionality for aesthetics! Though it's still functional!

Our hero saves the day again! Woo-hoo!

[flatmatt]

Hey, that's nice. Fairly unique, too. Good colors. Short senetences. Yeah. :)

[e-raser]

its looking great, why not go crazy with an alpha-mask, have transperent pixils at the edges, like the logo of xerox, with the "X" going blocky at one point, just have the blocks sculpted out with the alpha blend

[Cleanup]

Ahm, that sounds like something Photoshop-ish. :D

I think the break up of the border wouldn't go to will with the skin. Lack of a border makes for a messy skin. Like Visional Memory. :p

[dude883]

hey, not bad! will definetly download it when it's finished!

[not in santiago]

You should have made "Spixelized" a few months ago. It reminds me of a summer in Santa Barbara: colourful and plasticky. :p If plasticky isn't what you were going for, then perhaps tone down the light yellow and light blue highlights. I like your font choice, but the size makes it a bit difficult to read.

Nuclear Memory II looks alright, but I think I like Nuclear Memory better at this point. Myself, I don't like skins with small buttons because they make a mockery of my lack of coordination. :rolleyes: :D Still, I'm glad you kept the light green colour scheme (I'm not completely sold on the orange, though). The titlebars seem too narrow to me, but do I like the two oddly shaped borders in the main. :)

[Cleanup]

Alright, what if I got rid of the transparency and made the Main and EQ of NMII like the PL and MB?

[Jellby]

Do you still accept name suggestions? Here's mine: Pixelpiece.

Nice skin, by the way :up:

[skinme!]

spixelise - 'coz I'm British.

and e-raser: what? are you thinking about wa3?

[e-raser]

nope, i'm talking about alpha transperancy for winamp 2

[_Blackdog_]

there is no alpha transparency for wa2

[Tac-Man]

heh. just got back from outa town for a few days... :D running into the same name problems I see...hmm

Pixel power? pixelmatic? pixly?

hmmm...maybe I should save the best names for my self :b

hey! you mean mine doesn't look good :D

[Cleanup]

Hehe.

Working Main Window! Who wants a .wsz?! Screenie comes first.

[Cleanup]

Any bugs other than the PlayPaus sonuvabitch, notify me in this thread.

[Tac-Man]

hmmm...lesse...

no inactive clutterbar, and the winshade mode has the shared pixel bug.

since it looks like you are gonna use transparancy on the top anyways, I would just blacken that out an fix it

[skinme!]

Cleanup: that's the transparent main ws trick I was telling you about.

Hmm... I like. But then it is Connect-X rewrapped :D (jus' kidding ya)

I know how to do it, Bruce. :p

What? Inactive clutterbar? There's an inactive clutterbar?

The clutterbar is that OAIDU thing.

[Tac-Man]

yeah there is

check the display properties and uncheck the always display clutterbar tab...it should give you a blank white spot where your clutterbar is whenever you aren't pressing buttons on it.

Ya learn something new everyday cleanup :D

oh and the bottom letter is sposed to be a V for visualization.

[Cleanup]

How do I skin an inactive clutterbar?! :igor: I know I've done it before. Now I forgot.

[Tac-Man]

ok...to the right of the top one, make another clutterbar...um...bar.

thats the inactive state.
I think its in the skinners atlas too, I don't remember for sure off the top of my head.

[Felon.]

Pixelocity is a name that comes to mind.

incorrect! there is an alpha transparancey plugin floating around, it doesn't do alpha-blending though (actually, it might, i can't remember). i don't think it's at winamp.com though.

[skinme!]

But not natively - don't be so predantic bh :D

Cleanup, the name's skinme! k. :( :D

[BlueBalls]
