INDUCER

Hello all!

After the long forgotten LayerOne and AR7 I was fooling around with many designs for a long time
to finally decide and bring to the public one of them. This is Inducer, a pixelart skin designed to be user friendly in a pixelart way.
Think of it as an advanced classic skin, with bigger layout and all the winamp5 features hidden in it.
Inspired by my forum avatar. You will notice it in the center of the skin slightly altered.
You can play around with this early beta and give back some comments if you like.

Features listed here will be included in the next beta version.

- Animated Visuals
- Shade Modes
- Alternative Bitmapped Fonts
- EQ in a seperate component
- Limited Colorthemes

Coding performed by Rontz

And the beta.

[PulseDriver]

Not bad, do the shine effect follow the skin? :p

[leechbite]

quality work, as usual Anemovatis. :up:

Oh yes it will, that and other visual enchancements. It looks pretty dead now but it is an early beta afterall.

[net-cruizer]

Awsome!!!
About time there's a skin that has all the components which can snap together properly, like the Winamp Modern skin.
I couldn't get the EQ to show though.
Anyways, great work, will be lookin forward to more of it.
Oh, in your screenshot, looks like the 2 time displays show play time and time remaining, but on mine, both times show the same, whether it be timeplay or remaining.

Rontz is working on that feature in order to be displayed properly on the next beta.

[UUL]

Wow, the preview's looking awesome. I'll try out the beta asap :)

[QuadHeliX]

Sweet Job and such a small use of space! Anemo and RontZ Great Team UP.

Well, here is the solution, IF you have not solved it by now.

Both the text objects need to have different 'display' parameters.

To display remaining time:


<text
id="time.remaining"
x="10" y="50"
display="TIMEREMAINING"
color="" //custom entries
font="" //custom entries
/>


To display elapsed time:


<text
id="time.elapsed"
x="100" y="50"
display="TIMEELAPSED"
color="" //custom entries
font="" //custom entries
/>

[biggman15]

Awesome... Keep it up!!!

[hammerhead]

that's a nice skin :)

[h²o]

So beautiful,really...
can't stop looking at the preview.
thx for sharing the beta :up:

[Rooster128]

ah, cool, didn'T know! :) would have done it in maki ;)
still will have to do maki-things with that, but that's making many things way more easy ;)

doesn't work for me

about the eq:
there's no action attached to the button, will follow :)

i'm sure you'll all love the next beta! ;) will be awesome :)

[rohan_pwln]

i don't know why it ain't working for you??? it works fine for me, however. Doing it in MAKI's gonna be easy too...

Call me if you need any help {which, you most probably wont}

[-=RoNtZ=-]

i get the normal time with that :-/
i just sent you a pm, i'd prefer to do it in xml than in maki.

INDUCER beta 2

What's new :

- 3 Animated Visuals
- EQ in a seperate component
- Limited Colorthemes
- Various Graphical Changes
- Song Kbps/Khz displayed in the songticker

*HELP NEEDED*

We need some help to figure out how to solve some bugs related with the generic graphics (the lines you see on the PL and ML).

Thanks in advance for testing this beta.

[leechbite]

nice going. :up: keep it up.

dont know though bout the bug u were talking about, i didnt see any unusual lines in the PL and ML.

i noticed a bug though on the 2 timer setup. when u click on left side timer couple of times, sometimes you end up with the 2 timers being identical. maybe disable any switching on those 2 timers, its showing both remaining and elapsed anyway.

[mike-db]

Nice.

[Michgelsen]

Awesome!! Too bad the screenshot you posted is a bit too large. If you made it 371×321 you would have a great pic for the preferences --> modern skins --> current skin section.

*G* man.... that's my coding, that's not a bug! :-P *LOL*
explaining: timer's got 4 modes:
1: left elapsed; right remaining
2: left remaining; right elapsed
3: both elapsed
4: both remaining
after 4 it switches back to 1, when clicking on the timer.
only real bug is that there's no action on the right timer ;).
will be the same.
so the user can choose where he wants what.
i've got another problem, anemovatis didn't mention, but that's bugging me more than the others:
the "eqvis" is always pink, and i don't know which gammagroup is responsible for that or how to attach it to another gammagroup :(

[leechbite]

haha! :D thought it was a bug.

i had the same problem before with eqvis and as far as i know i dont think there's a workaround. i could be wrong.

[-=RoNtZ=-]

damn :-/

[SLoB]

i set my eqvis colours to 0,0,0, never bothered with a specific colour, try setting it to that to see if it works

the only other way would be thru maki to change it, there doesnt seem to be any gammagroup link

btw nice skin Panos ;)

[-=RoNtZ=-]

if pano doesn't like white, we'll take the eqvis out.
skins development is nice so far, but will slow down for now, as school just began :-/
anyway... next beta will be a bomb, as usual :D

[corwwin]

Just a very little bug : a space is missing in the separator of the songticker text after the song title. the separator is * -*, should be * - * or *-* (I love symmetry). Nice design, but I feel it reflecting some sadness and referring to dark days, whatever the color theme you choose. Can't you really consider the world from a more optimist point of view?
Another personal wish : Can the songticker run in only one direction, like the good old WA2 did? I hate this go-and-back WA5 feature (I did it in the skin I'm currently developping, I can post the .m code if u want it)

[-=RoNtZ=-]

about the * -*
already noticed that but wasn't sure if that was a bug in the png or just a space too much, but thanks for reminding me of it, i'll go and figure it out :)
the color themes are all very basic for now and i guess except the default theme, there will stay no single one unaltered, and many will be added :)
nice idea about the songticker. i guess pano will like it too, and if so we'll do it :) i'll ask you for the code when i can't figure it out myself.

[corwwin]

Another one : you write "44. 0khz", should be "44.0 Khz". About the size : I'm running a 1024x768 resolution with a 15" tft screen, and I find the skin is too small to be easily readable, even wile wearing glasses. But I know I like big ones...

[-=RoNtZ=-]

what you get as songinfo is exactly what i'm getting from winamp. i didn't have any influence on that, so far.
same resolution and same screensize over here, i think it's ok. what about you other users? too small or ok?

Many thanks for your comments/suggestions corwwin. The skin has an industrial dark theme since birth and it is actually reflecting the inner thoughts of his creator, so anything else will be fake. :)

I am working on 1600x1200 on a 21" monitor, standing just 30cm away from it. I see the skin normally sized for my taste.

[corwwin]

for the 44.0 Khz format, try this

[corwwin]

For the one-way songticker scrolling and text formatting, this one works fine

[-=RoNtZ=-]

this project seems on ice for an unknown time, just to let you guys know. i'm still waiting on gfx from anemovatis.it will definately be finished, that's sure! :D
