Sonic HIFI new skin -first preview-

[Adil]

Here's the skin I'm working on right now.
Big thanks to Rhino trip who'll be taking care of the scripting for me as I'm a half zero in programming.:cry:
have a look and tell me what you think. I'm looking for a brand I could put instead of "sonic" on top left corner. (no sony please:))
enjoy looking :D

I like it not bad maybe if you could add some dimension to get rid of the flat look but other then that not bad.

[Bizzeh]

me want!!! me need!!!... if help in xml needed.. feel free to ask

[mc^^^^]

know watb be kool! if when you open it or click 'open file' a cd goes in/out of the slot! like an animation:D

[Adil]

I already have it working for a2 media player.
now I'm just improving and converting it for winamp3.
haha "not too bad"... pfehh:igor: thanks

[Naamloos]

wooh the buttons are sexay :p

[ertmann|CPH]

is that playlist possible?

[Plague]

Is that bent vis possible?

-Plague

[Naamloos]

[will]

Is that bent vis possible? Yes. (Only just, you put a small fully transparent layer above the vis, apply a layer_fx to this transparent layer, and set fx_bgfx() to 1)

I can take a look at it, i've got two computers, and post the results (one 300 mhz, default runs fine, but most of the others takes some cpu. and a 1.2 ghz :))

[Adil]

Check the screenshot again, the buttons are even sexier now :D
The screen is still in A2 format, that's why there are so many repeats and stuff...:rolleyes:

[Naamloos]

It's way to dark, sorry :(

ah nevermind, its updated again (the screenshot) it was way darker when I posted that message. Really dark.

[The Rhino]

oh yeah, there are also plenty of ways using color controls to make it lighter

[Naamloos]

true, but the first preset is the most looked at ;)

[Adil]

Yo, color presets.. I almost forgot that feature !
on A2 I released two different screen colors, dark (screenshot here) and blue.
On winamp 3 we'll have infinite possibilities ! ;)
Rhino, will it be possible to make an animated CD coming out of the player when we push EJECT and going in again when a file is loaded?

I'm not Rhino, but yes that is ;) ;)

[Adil]

true, I dunno why it looks so dark in JPG format, it also looks flat here because you can't see some details. (especially on right side)

[Adil]

I'm working on it, final version screenshot tomorrow...
got new screen layout an better buttons.
Rhino, are you ready?

[The Rhino]

yeah lets roll i have all of spring break to do stuff :D

[Adil]

OK here's the almost final screenshot:

http://webserver.iam.net.ma/ait/pics/winamp3.jpg

We must start thinking HOw to adapt that playlist to winamp3 standards...
I was thinking about keeping it like it is now by adding a button that will switch between the tracks list and the plalists.
Is it posible?
other problems:
removing scroll bars and replace it only by the UP&Down buttons.
removing the "smouth scrolling"

[Cruzn15]

Wow, this skin is lookin' sexy. I may have to rethink my whole "small skins" only motto.

[Plague]

do you have a script or something, changing the mono/stereo speaker pics?
or are you just showing the mono/stereo text and let the pic stay as it is on the shot all the time?

Need to know, coz I'm interested on how to make such a script for the Wa2 -> Wa3 converter...

edit
oh oh oh, I forgot...
DAMN good work, looks absolutly great!!! :up:
/edit

-Plague

[Adil]

I dunno if it's possible to script that.. ask rhino or willfisher.
I think we have enough problems with the scripting for the playlist so I think we'll keep that speakers icon static.:)

[The Rhino]

actually that script should be easier than the playlist problem we have. the only way we will be able to keep that playlist the way it is is to have a programmer create a wac for that or we can try to get it as close as possible to what we want

[Plague]

yeah, that shouldn't be a problem to script, if you somehow convert the mono/stereo info from Gonzotek's script into a pic chooser...
Only thing is, I don't know how to do that... :D

-Plague

[The Rhino]

hey plague where can i get that it will make this go alot quicker

[Plague]

Here ya go...

-Plague

[The Rhino]

Thanks :up:

[Adil]

yeah, that woul be cool.
Maybe we could also add an icon in the screen to display what kind of file is playing..
just like the little HDD icon...

[Plague]

yeah, that shouldn't be a much bigger problem...
It would be cool! :up:

-Plague

[The Rhino]

hey AvexTrax check your PM that way we can put out a working skin in the near future

[Naamloos]

couldn't you check the text what the bitrate shows?
and then do a hide/show ?

[The Rhino]

Naamloos im not following you, can you phrase it differently or explain a little more.

[Plague]

I think he means that you could check the bitrate part to figure out what kind of file it is...

I think.. :D

-Plague

[The Rhino]

you could do that but some of my mp3's have bitrates that fluctuate so i don't think thats the best way to go about it its probably best to check the last few letters of a song

example:Ja Rule - Always On Time.mp3

[Plague]

yeah that could do it too, but what I meant was figuring out the media type by wathich if it says: KBPS or something else...

Might be as hard to do as watching the end of the filenames as you suggested...


But I got another idea and that is, watching the id-tags, apparently that can be done somehow. There's a thread about it somewhere..

/edit

-Plague

[The Rhino]

i just check the id3 tag editor and nowhere on it do i see an extension like .mp3 so maybe i will pm aus and ask him about it

[Plague]

mkey...

but I think it won't show as .mp3, but mpeg layer 3..
It was like that on wa2 anyways...

Well, I don't know, I'm just guessing :)

-Plague

[The Rhino]

well hopefully aus our canadian administrator knows the answer.
btw i have been guessing on this too

[The Rhino]

well he has read it but where is the reply (me crys :cry: because aus is being mean)

[Naamloos]

Lol, the rhino thats what I meant (checking the what the bitrate script says)

I know, im not to good at my english :(

[Adil]

Ok, Rhino started the scripting.
This thread will now die.
We'll start a new one as soon as we have the first working Version.
cya :)

[The Rhino]

well i have been workin on xml and doing a little scripting but i want to know what you all think of the menu (colors screwed up due to image formatting)
C:\Documents and Settings\Joseph M. Limpert\My Documents\My Pictures\menu.png
btw where the heck can i change the title at the top of the men(color)

[Plague]

pic doesn't show...

anyway, to change the color you wanted:
studio-elements.xml

<!-- Buttons -->
<color id="studio.button.text" value="6,105,178"/> <!-- Buttons text color -->
<color id="studio.button.hiliteText" value="6,105,178"/> <!-- Buttons hilite text color, used by tab windows-->
<color id="studio.button.dimmedText" value="6,105,178"/> <!-- this is actually studio.popup.dimmedtext... -->

<!-- Popup menus -->
<color id="studio.popup.text" value="255,255,255"/> <!-- Menu items text color -->
<color id="studio.popup.hiliteText" value="6,105,178"/> <!-- Hilited item text color -->
<color id="studio.popup.dimmedText" value="4,68,118"/> <!--what dos this do now??... -->


somehow those two seem to have change place or something, but edit studio.button.dimmedText for the menu color change.

-Plague

[The Rhino]

i would have never thought of changing that to change the menu title but it worked. thanks
