My skin quater way there

[jakov.sosic]

First, sorry for so many new topics, but noone even doesnt boder my old one, so.....I had to
Sorry once more

I have few problems, so if anyone can solve it....

1. dragvolume isn't working good as I expected, why? It isn't so smooth, just try lounge skin....
or I don't know how to use it?
what should I define? Animatedlayer (offcourse) and what else?
starting angle and finishing one?

2. Any suggestions how to program Play-pause button, so if song is playing, click on that but. would pause it, and if it is paused, click would continue it to play..

3. Any way to use WinAPI by winamp scripting lanquage? Is it possible? Thing is, I need bloody MUTE function!!!

That's all for now....
Come on Rhino, help!

PS Francis, if it isn't problem, please implement mute function in some of future winamp beta's....
It's annoying to go everytime I wanna mute to control panel's sounds options....

someone wrote somthing about a mute function before...

you just need to make it turn the volume to zero, save the volume in a variable, and when unmute is pressed, turn the volume back to the saved value.

[jakov.sosic]

I used that, and it was me who asked that question before...
But when you turn it to zero, volume knob moves to that position....
Well, never mind with that, I'll solve it somehow...

What about first two questions?

MJ posted this at me a while ago. Should help with the play/pause thing...

#include "lib/std.mi"

Function updatePausePlay();
Global Button playButton, pauseButton;

System.onScriptLoaded() {
Layout yourlayout = getContainer("Main").getLayout("Normal");
playButton = yourlayout.getObject("play");
pauseButton = yourlayout.getObject("pause");
updatePausePlay();
}

System.onPlay() {
updatePausePlay();
}

System.onPause() {
updatePausePlay();
}

System.onResume() {
updatePausePlay();
}

System.onStop() {
updatePausePlay();
}

updatePausePlay() {
if (getPlayItemString() == "") {
playButton.show();
pauseButton.hide();
} else {
pauseButton.show();
playButton.hide();
}
}

That's because you don't know how to trap events properly. All you have to do is prevent the slider from moving when it's a mute action.

Take a look at this...

Now one XML question

How to make thinger icons smaller?

[Lucas]

I'm not sure if you can. And Probe code isn't clean enough for redist, yet, so you'll have to wait.

-L

[jakov.sosic]

OK!
I simply need only the part for volume knob...

I wrote my own, I used volumedrag.m, but all that is crap when I see Probe's....
And thing is that I need so efficient code because of my eq wich uses knobs for eqBands....

Anyway thanx!

[Lucas]

Probe is using RotationLayer.m if that can help.

Did you look at my demo skin?

-L

[jakov.sosic]

Well, maybe, but I dont need anythint to rotate :)
maybe only transparent png ;)

Yes I did...
If I choose to use mute function I'll give you a credits in my skins readme.

[Lucas]

If you looked carefully, Probe volume is a round rotating one, so the code of it would be totally useless to you.

If you could post a screenshot of what you're doing perhaps I could help you.

-L

[jakov.sosic]

well, I need the round one!
here is screen shot.

red dot on the volume knob is on the place where 100% is supposed to be

[indicavia]

nice skin!! :)
but why do you want the thinger icons smaller??
anyone knows about a good freeware ftp prog. for newbiees btw?? :)

[jakov.sosic]

First alpha of my skin will soon be here, 2 weeks aprox...
I have to work on eq....
Alpha won't have shade windows and components skined...

[jakov.sosic]

well, lucas, I need some answers...
I coded volume knob just as I wanted, but I don't know how to
disable jump from 100% to 0% and in reverse? I want to block it, but how???
And I don't even have an idea.:mad: :confused:

[Lucas]

Adjust your map. Make a large "end" area and it should help prevent the knob from skipping from 100% to 0%.

-L

[jakov.sosic]

What would I do without you :D

Thanx once more...
I don't know if this is going to work but anyway...
I'll send a reply if I don't succeed

One more q.
To make white and black in map both bigger, or just black color?

[jakov.sosic]

Well, here is one of the final screenshots of the skin...
Few things left to be finished, and skin will be complete WAL
around christmas.
Special thanx to Spleen who speeded up XML & maki coding.

[Plague]

niiice...

[bluekeydesign]

Be patient for week or max 2, few things left to be sorted out.

[ertmann|CPH]

you should use another texture in the display areas!?
thinger could use some work too - other than that it looks good

[jakov.sosic]

Thanx for the tip!
But I don't have much time to do that kind of changes, maybe for some of the next releases...
I have a completely new site to build :rolleyes:

Other than that, thinger is being updated

[thepyr0x]

Looks pretty cool, but here's a couple things I think ya should change. First of all, try and find some way to make those rotating knobs actually look like they're rotating, not just a static image with a blue dot on it that moves. Also, take out that knob graphic on the right side of the EQ and move the display and eq knobs over, and make the EQ the same width as the knobs are. Just my suggestions, no need to take em if ya dont like em tho.
