x-[unnamed] In Progress Crud
 

Hello guys, another 2.x skin coming down the pipe...heh

I'd like to get your opinions on it.

I know some of you peeps prefer the 'surprise' of seeing it when done...but, I never work well like that.

Anyways...here ya are..

...cough cough.... Thoughts? Ideas ? Comments ?

Wow. I like the layout, and the overall look...

What I don't like is the CButtons. Specifically, the frame that they're in looks odd. Especially with the triangular dips at the bottom...

Maybe change their shape a bit.

I also suggest lightening the blue.

Otherwise, keep going!

[Edit] Also, Garet, try not to expect replies at 2 - 3 am, Eastern. [/Edit]

cool. i think the animations will be really cool! the c-butons arn't the most user friendly, but use WA3 for more than 5 min and any idiot shoudl be able to find the buttosn :). I'm slightly worried about shuf/rep, but we'll see how that works out.

it's great so far :)
don't know why but the top of it reminds me a bit of your slick series...

hm..i'm not a big fan of the symmetric part though

True .. The bottom part of the cbutton/shuf rep area will likely be changed over to a more rounded appearance similar to their top. Its a bit harder creating something 'curved' than it is to make it linear/symetrical so please bare with me. As far as being similar to the slick series...yeah for now, it is and I will work to move it away from that design.

Thankx - jax

Very nice. On the verge of becoming my favorite skin of yours. Keep it up :up:

I'm hoping of course to recapture winamp2...skins...in the hearts and minds of those that think wa3 skins are the only thing that can be kewl


And with alot of effort I seem to be working up something different than everything as of yet.


Here is another ss.

Any more thoughts?

looken really nice no complaints here

wow, you keep on amazing me with newer skins you make, looking very nice, keep it up an get a wsz soon :p

Looking good, I really really like from the top down to the cbutton area, the area under the cbuttons, hmm, not sure, but seems to have a little less depth than the top, but I'll wait and see how it looks on top of the eq window, since that tends to change the appearance ^_^

swe-----et! :D

The...

X Skin Update 6.3.4
 

Well I've finally gotten somewhere I think is decent and to boot peacemaker has joined yet again on development of a wonderful clean looking skin...With his help things are moving a bit quicker considering I'm a dumbass when it comes to curves. But, he seems to be pushing me to new heights as usual.


We will both be posting a version of our cbuttons and other small details. We need soome input on which one to use...

My version of these area:

Thank you from both of us.
 

Looks kewl doesn't it.

well as you have probably noticed ive been helping out a little with garetjax on this skin. heres my version for show.

Oh, now I'm really really liking this... !!! :up:

we need some comments on which one to go with my version or his?

:: sigh ::

My Preview - Peacemaker has only as of yet just made suggestions...letz hope you guys enjoy this...


Suggestions :: Comments :: Welcome

BTW: For now I'm using peacemakers sliders from Xecutor until I think of my own type.

okay another update sorry...hopefully its looking decent enough for you all.


So, any comments or suggestions from anyone????

Please, I'm attention hungry.


///another update///

As you can see much more is visible and a few minor hitches were worked out before it goes.

I love the glassy piece in the eq bar blank space, only quasi suggestion I might have is wondering if there's any way to incorporate a little more of that in the eq somehow, not sure exactly where though :\

hmm, both versions are similar and appealing, but I think I prefer the irregular shapes in the glass of the one you're using.

Well, so far we tried to make more glass in the eq but, we found that it draws to much away from the main...

We will try to pickup more glass when we move to the playlist...hopefully, that will pickup what you think is missing.

this is looking to be one great skin. the only problem is the upper half of the main window. i find that in contrast to the very semetrical and logical feel to the eq and c-button area, the vis and text bar area lack the same style. the post bar as well is in the wrong style for this type of skin being random and very linier vs the curvy and orginized fell of the rest of the skin.
fix thoughts problems and i'll be surly downloading this one. :)

I agree. The skin is awesome. However, the top does feel a little out of tune with the rest. Perhaps introduce some of the light grey metal from the eq-bars

ok.. ive played with the titlebar area and trying to perfect the glass the best i could. i think it looks alright now :)

actually this is a better update of that same version. i added some more blue in there ;)

even curvier!
i would use the eq glass thingy and rotat it and strech it into the title bar, thats the look id go for.

Wow, that is in-frickin'-credible. I love the curves. ;) I believe, however, that the sections in the middle of the EQ bars don't fit with the rest of the skin.

heh, seems you guys like this ehh??? ... as far as the eq there is alot more things that we could do I am sure.

-jax

if you guys plan to keep those ala-xecutor eq.sliders, it'd be better to mat(darken) them a bit i think...hm yeah the tittlebar still needs some tweaking, other than that it's incredible

ah and don't forget to skin the video and library windows :D

am I missing something...

video & library???

I think the titlebar needs more tweaking too. Actually, there was an earlier ss when the titlebar was one long plastic tube. Would you be willing to go back to something like that? I think the simplicity of it helped the flow of the skin.

I know the Cbutton question was posed several posts ago, but if you're still debating it, I think you could use either set. I think the grey labels pull the chrome components together, whereas the light blue labels do the same for the plastic bits. Both versions look good.

Can't think of anything to suggest for the Eq. Looks good so far and I can't wait to see it in motion. As for the rest of the skin, as long as you don't get too complicated, I think it will turn out faboolous. (That's probably why I don't like the current titlebar. There's just too much there.) :)

well ive changed the titlebar now, to looked like glass tubing split by an X, and we're working on the playlist.

heres a ss.

i hope you dont mind but i altered your image that you posted to try to show you what i belive would make the top of the vis area work better with the skin, one is witht the vis area on, the other with it off

-

Well, here is more of the playlist...as far as the titlebar is concerned I think that the titlebar that e-raser made is kewl...but, perhaps, something else...the x should def. be there I'm just not sure if it should be like that or not.

anyways, here is the screenshot.

that p-list helps alot in getting the top of your skin to intergrate with the rest of the skin, alot of common theems in both areas.

hehe... new update here. we fixed the playlist and still working on it and other parts aswell.
