Old-ish: Kyaela
 

Remember way back when 'Keetah started the first collaboration skin contest?

Caz and I submitted this bugger, and it was fuggared, and then the contest got b0rked, and 'Keetah called it a sweet skin, even though it had too many bugs, the EQ bars were blocks, and the displays had problems.

We basically did the skin in a few... erm... minutes.

I'm remaking it in MSPaint. Fixing all the glitches (today I just saw that the main window's symmetry was really fux0red), and making it work better.

Now, I need suggestions on teh buttons.

Any ideas? The old buttons were like little paralellograms with bad animations.

"too early to say"
but buggerd fuggards could be a good idea.

argh! the capitOl 'c'! it burrrrrrnnnnnsss

Too early yet cleanup, ;) - i may start my own little project involving kyaela when i get these 500 skin projects completed

I stuck on the old-school buttons, but I modified them a bit. My attempt to make Raydream-esque circular buttons failed, even with layers. Photoshop 6 is gay (I just reformatted).

However, I think these look good. My only problem is the empty space above and below them. While it looks fine, it looks out of place, but I'm tentative to change it.

Any ideas what to do?

actually, I don't like the buttons much. They don't seem to fit in well with the rest; maybe if you rounded the corners a bit? The rest looks really cool though - I'm looking forward to seeing it progress.

It's impossible to round them. I tried it before. Without stretching it beyond the CButton size, or losing its shape, it'll just look worse.

Well, I actually made a circular button... with layers, amazingly. I'm learning.

How does this look?

That button took me a while, because I had some probelms with PS... questions:

1. if I select a layer in PS 6, how do I select it with the marquee tool, and then can I switch to a separate layer?

2. How do I expand selections?

CButtons done.

Whaddaya think?

It lookee muh better now.

Yes. Thanks to Neko/Neko Katt/Neko Cat/Nanoshock/Raydream/RD/Teo. I am teh inspired.

[edit] You'll notice the buttons look a lot like Equilibrium's buttons, 'cept smaller and less goodars.

I like it, but the labells are kinda small.

If you get the buttons to look as nice when theyre pressed i think this skin will rock.

For Atmo.

Main window is finished.

But not the components. :( That's the worst part of skinning WA2.

Nice, but there isnt much contrast in the lcd area (vol, bal etc.).

Shut upppp...

Most of EQ done. However, I think the EQ bars look a little too much like Neko's Akura.

I was lost for ideas, so I turned to my skinbank.

Any thoughts or ideas? Should I change it?

[Edit] Any ideas for an EQ diagram? [/Edit]

Yeah, the sliders doo look a little Akura-ish. However, they seem to fit and I can't think of anything that would fit instead. Perhaps working since 5 nonstop has affected by ability to conjure up magical eq bars. Oh wait, I never liked the EQ bras.

Heh.

And I just noticed another thing: my font is the same as Akura's. BankGothic Md Bt... I think. It looks really similar. Almost looks like the same size too. :igor:

I hope Neko is alright with this. I'll email him. What's his email address? Anybody know?

[Edit] Nevermind. [/Edit]

haha

Uh.

seeing as nobody has answered:
1. when you say "select it", if you mean select all the pixels, ctrl+click the layer, yes you can swithc to another layer

2. select>modify (expand).

Yeah. Naoneo.com just taught me.

cleanup, anywere i can get the first kyaela ? before you started fugging with it?

this one doesnt seem to look right in my opinion...

Believe me, the original version is teh gay. It has so many bugs... the EQ bars are blocks, the text is the wrong colour, and it's small...

As I said, Caz and I basically did it in a few minutes...

Why doesn't this version look right?

i dunno it just looks to neko and not cleanup. ok your skills are improving but we don't need two nekos, 1 is enuf. the original was cleanup an caz, it was a perfect mix of your skills, it was buggy but it was better in my opinion. i had the skin for a short while but i had to format and just forgot about it until i read this topic..

plus, sorry for the double posting. the buttons dont fit the time/vis area, the buttons look blured and dull wereas the time/vis is squared off and strongly coloured.

i still love it :D

how bout this cleanup?

Tha's what I already did there, Skinme. The shared pixel line is teh solved. But your screenshot looks like it was saved in MSPaint.

[Edit] No, not even MSPaint. MSPaint saves .PNGs fine. [/Edit]

Main Window and EQ working.

Suggestions?

Btw: Rean got the original. The bastard. :D

yeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy olddddd skool! :D:D:D now for some more old skool cleanup skins :D:D

PL almost done...

Hurry up, I'm itchin to use it :D

this is about the wrong time to say that the round buttons and square edges on the main don't quite gel, isn't it. something had been bugging me about this skin with the new cbuttons. i think this is it.

Which square edges are you talking about? The displays? The borders?

[Edit] Should I give the PL stacks labels? [/Edit]

this is a great looking skin and the most awsome thing about it is the fact that it dosent look like it was made in msp

UNFINISHED .WSZ!
 

Well, it wasn't, E-Raser. I said that the buttons were made in Photoshop. The otherstuff is MSPaint and Caz's pixeling skills in PSP.

Well.. the moment.. has come..

Bugtest the Main. EQ, and PL windows!

I've yet to really figure out how to skin 2.9. Hold up for that.

Bugtest, please!

Screenie.
