[kinwashi]

looks like a cool idea! I'm not good with the scripting part, so I don't know how to make the drawer, but there's a lot of other people who knows how to do these things here, so I'm sure they'll help you out :)

[Naamloos]

I can help ya ;)
I have a sketch too, I'll post it asap :D

It looks alot like a MiniDisc player (mine)

The shape looks nice, original :)

[kingo'mountain]

kinwashi: your probe was my inspiration (spelling?) about the
drawer (eq drawer) i thought u knew how to do drawers!!
but i remember!.... youve got it from rhinotrip.
can u contact him so he will help me with it?

no*name: post it! maybe ill get an idea for the playlist
or thinger or volume! (any ideas for the volume knob?
because as u see, i didnt knew where to put it. :confused: )

for all skinners who understand: download my sketch, and draw
suggestions for the volume knob and post it here!

[mark e]

Wow.. Good idea... :)

[kingo'mountain]

in the meanwhile... ill do the rest of the skin!
ill show progress (may take couple of weeks, but if everybody
is counting on me.... ill do it)

everytime u all feel like it... post suggestions, flames :D
greetings.... everything!

im sooooo rookie at skining, that ill be bugging all the time
so understand me and help me!

[kinwashi]

actually alot of the scripting in probe has been rewritten by Lucas. But I think drawers are "easy" if you know scripting, so I'm sure a lot of people on the board can help you.

[kingo'mountain]

ok.... lucas
can he help me?
im desperate!!!


maybe ill do the visual first? so later
he'll know what to do?

and second: what crucial files i need to get from
the default... because i want to get started!
thx in advance

[Lucas]

kinwashi is right, drawers aren't that hard to implement now that there are groups. I'd be pleased to help you, but I can't right now. I gotta finish Epsilux. Anyway, it's only a sketch, don't worry about the final result. Draw it and when it's done ask for someone in the board, there are quite a few talented scripters in there.

cheers,

[kingo'mountain]

thx Luc L! i feel sooo much better now!
ill draw it.... but first....

todo list: (in the real order)

1.)background + details (theme unknown)
2.)buttons
3.)checking for hoirkman's editing program
4.)editing my skin (locations of buttons and other moving parts)
5.)drawer: making + scripting (havent found a scripting partner
though its long time 'til i need one :D )

6.)last scripting + checking +retouching
7.) yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

[Naamloos]

Maybe you do the volume later on, you'll get ideas when you're working on it (at least i do) Maybe a round knob (like in every stereo)

[ertmann|CPH]

theres is a hell of lot of blank space below the song info bar/display - whats that needed for?

[Naamloos]

At least a SCreenshot...
Its far from finished, I'm still busy with everything... you can see the one drawer slided out and there will be like this on the left, bottom and right...

[kingo'mountain]

listen no*name.. im forced to stop my project for some re-planing!

this skin is sure tough for me. :(

ill do something more simple than what ive started
i think it will be all cartoonish for a start to see how
i get started with it all.... then, ill do more complicated
ones! sorry!!!!!!

it will be done a week or two after the next release of winamp will be done so maybe it will be good for me!
(more options to explore and implement)

one of them i would like to explore is the "groups" thing...
because i heard it is THE THING for skinners!
maybe theres a thread here talking about this! ill search!

[Naamloos]

Ok it's a bit late here and I need some sleeping tomorrow school again :)

Maybe you shouldn't stop go on! If everything in your life was easy would it be fun?


*thinks*


Well I had a test skin before to try out stuff (anyone seen that "cube" ? it suXors :)) It's cool that you try out yourself with the groups, but for one thing I can say, groups are easy as pie :) well you'll see...
But don't let it get you down ;)

good luck with it

[jakov.sosic]

good idea mountain, but I don't prefer so much rounded skin

my favorites are skins like Lounge

[nix]

:up: Looks good. But why don't you use a play button which changes to a pause when busy playing, and changes to a play button when paused. You can check out the MAKI Skin (http://www.winamp.com/skins/detail.jhtml;$sessionid$M2WEFH4LOK1QTTN241HBCZI?componentId=123645) by Frisbee Monkey (mailto:frisbeemonkey@yahoo.com). That could give your skin just a little edge.

Hope you could figure it out.

[jarsonic]

nix.

Look at the timestamp of the post before yours.

See that "2001?"

THIS IS SO OLD.

[kingo'mountain]
