well here it is ladies an gents...this is kinda my jumbotron skin...after like 3 days of just messing around with stuff randomly
Also, the frame on it is from my Black Ice 3; its not a rip if its mine :D (besides nobody likes that skin anyways :mad: )

I really like it! the red, orange and black clash (but in a good way)
In my opinion this is your best so far. I didnt really like all the old gamers stuff, it was cleverly layed out, just not really my style....

i love it.
your killing me b/c your skin design was the direction i was thinking about for the dj pro skin for wa3 i'm doing.
as you can imagin i'm happy to see its looking good as a wa2 skin.
i'm going to have to make my desing a bit different now (i also hate doing something that has been already done).
keep it up.
give me more!:D

I like the look of this one too. :cool: The red and orange match and the black contrasts nicely with them and (just about) matches the grey. I'd like to see the grey edge being given the 'double ridge' that the red/orange areas have to help the consistency of the skin (it looks slightly out of place to me, maybe because it came from Black Ice 3?). Definitely want to see how this skin turns out. :)

yay! a cool skin...hmmm, ok I feel with yas peoples about the posbar and titlebar stuff...I thought as much myself.

UHUH! As is..... I want it. It is awesome! Please hurry and email me when it is completed. It is less detailed than most popular skins. But sheesh. This is COOL!

Hey, I like that. Orange is always appreciated. :cool:

well I gotta go to work now, but maybe I can get a beta version done by tonight...if I don't fall asleep.

well here is the MAIN and EQ done up in full...
next post will be the WSZ, ok :D:up:
Tac-Man
8th September 2002, 06:49
and a WSZ for folks to enjoy.
skinme!
8th September 2002, 11:35
The frame adds sooooooooooo much to this skin. The fusion of the clashing lcd colours and the earthlike brown frame is just gorgeous. Congrats. Hope to see some more of that frame. :D
dimichan
8th September 2002, 18:05
niice, and agreed, love the framework!
Tac-Man
8th September 2002, 19:47
well, the frame is just that...a frame.
I'm not planning on it having parts protruding into any of the "LCD" components, if thats what you mean skinme.
skinme!
8th September 2002, 20:05
nah, it's mere presence satisfies my every earthly desire
Tac-Man
8th September 2002, 23:15
heheh...This one just got out of the pool :igor:
anyways, no this is an idea for a tiny WA3 skin, and its basically constructed the same as this skin, but tiny :D
Wildrose-Wally
8th September 2002, 23:48
That'd be good for the winshade mode, make the main larger though.
Tac-Man
8th September 2002, 23:53
great. now I just need to learn coding :P
Anyways thats a back-burner project, I am still workin on the WA2 version for the most part.
skinme!
8th September 2002, 23:56
It would be a nice skin in itself, in that it's small (unlike most WA3 monstrosities) and not your standard brushed metal.
Wildrose-Wally
9th September 2002, 00:02
It's too small, would suffer greatly in funtionality.

9th September 2002, 01:08
I downloaded the wsz file, this is awesome. Keep up the great work. I will keep checking for the completed version. I really dig the equalizer bars. Thank You

The little WA3 skin looks quite nice, but it's just too small and squished to be functional. At first glance, I was like, "Wow, that looks cool!" But then I was like "That would be really hard to use." Plus, the colors, though cool, aren't the most high-contrast things in the world, so it doesn't help the compact design.
But the WA2 skin's great. :D
Tac-Man
11th September 2002, 05:09
well the WA3 thing was just me fooling around...only took me like 5 seconds to hack the WA2 into a tiny WA3, and besides, I don't know how to code for WA3 :| and my friend who knows XML at least wont code for me :mad: . I may finish the rest of the skin in a day or so.
simon snowflake
11th September 2002, 06:49
wa3 coding is easy, aslong as you dont start maki.
kewl skin btw
(pfffeewwww, i almost accedentally started a new thread)
Tac-Man
11th September 2002, 13:20
Thats, right, step right up and be amazed at the finished product. if you like it. This is another fine example of why I don't get enough damn sleep :D and I am teaching myself how to code for WA3, and its not as hard as I figured. anyways, 1st, a screenshot;
Tac-Man
11th September 2002, 13:21
and the skin itself. By the way, the playlist and minibrowser are done up in courier new, so if you don't have it for some odd reason it will look different.
Tada!
Tac-Man really needs some damn sleep now, he has work later
flatmatt
11th September 2002, 19:58
Yay! It's done! With Mikro and MB page! Yay! :D
skinme!
11th September 2002, 20:48
/will download skin when I got Winamp2 installed on my spiffy new computer. yay! can you say 18inch viewable screen? can you?

12th September 2002, 00:54
Very nice work. Good color selection and cool idea with the eq bars. Overall, a very kick ass skin. :) :up:
Tac-Man
12th September 2002, 00:58
hey, I can't find any, but if anyone wants to point out graphic bugs, do so, cause I wanna submit this sooner than later.
sadorf
12th September 2002, 06:41
k i dunno if that is a bug or not lol, have a look
Tac-Man
12th September 2002, 10:43
...shit...k me fix in a second.
anything else?
BTW I am gettin the WA3 coding, at least the regular stuff...now just to start in on the MAKI or whatnot they call it.
Tac-Man
20th September 2002, 14:14
so, any thoughts now that its done?
oops, I thought it was published
not in santiago
20th September 2002, 17:00
Nice skin. Great job! :up:
I like the overall look as well as some of the smaller details, especially the Posbar shape and the shuf/rep & on/auto buttons. It has a bit of a retro flair, methinks.
Two things I would change:
1) make the border of your Megamen in the Mbinner black instead of white (or even red)
2) the titlebars/winshade bars. They are very well made and look great on their own, but I don't think they blend in well with the tri-chromatic theme of the overall skin. They might if you were to introduce more metal elements in the windows, or make the metal borders thicker, but as for now I just don't think they're consistent.
But that's just me. :)
Tac-Man
20th September 2002, 18:03
erm...heh
its kinda a chromy glow thing I had going on. I use basically the same mbinner in all my skins, and just change the color accordingly.
thats what I get for being different d:

why is everyone waiting for a wa3 skin today?
:eek:
;)
PS cool skin :D
simon snowflake
23rd September 2002, 18:25
Not waiting for a wa3-skin, just preparing to face the doom we all must front in the future :D
Tac-Man
24th September 2002, 09:31
hmm...I'm thinkin something really tiny, or round. and only skinning the main. :D :p ;)
simon snowflake
24th September 2002, 10:21
something like this?http://members.lycos.nl/simonsnowflake/ideas/idea1.png
Nini
25th September 2002, 08:42
not bad. Will this become a skin someday? :D
What I don't like about wa3 is that it's sooo much wooooork! :D
Tac-Man
25th September 2002, 23:29
YAY! its actually reveiwed this time.
Get it right here (http://www.winamp.com/components/detail.jhtml?componentId=121672) while its hot, folks! hot off the press!
apparently it was well liked (5 stars :D)
and stop stealing my thread with your evil winamp 3 thoughts simon :P
simon snowflake
26th September 2002, 06:54
congratz on your rating.
To bad the screenies are alway's fucked up. The realy should start using png, or JPG without compression
Tac-Man
26th September 2002, 13:18
agreed. why don't they use .png anyways. I know some people can't see that type of file. hmm, maybe supported in new version of browser? I know linux supports it already...
or install the support with winamp itself :D
(skin on front page, w00t. top user rated)

Hehe - congrats! I personally loved the contrast between the earthy/rocky borders and the LCD, well earned ^_^
