i Know its ugly and gawdy, not done, but give it to me

HELP
 

DONT CLICK THERE

it will cause major damage to your computer, resulting in cunvulsions, and a major headache

Well, except for the fact that the link is broken, and the server popped up eighteen windows, I experienced no problems. :)

i
 

I have to find a new web server, hopefully SOON!
i really waned to show you my Skin Really !!!!

hmm. when you consider all the great skins like kjofol, diablo pentigram, stonecruser, desertamp, aurigav, wmp etc you think where are the not so good skins? Here! (just kidding ;) )

I hope this is it!
 

i hate FREE WEB SERVERS THEY SUCK
 

this sucks

I can't show a simple Picture
SCREW IT!!

Here's some links to help your cause. :D

http://httpd.apache.org
http://www.sambar.com/

No banners. No space limits. No one telling you what you can't have on it. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Cool down, Snark. Everyone, all you have to do is right-click on either link and do a Save Target As (or whatever the equivalent is in your browser). Then open the gif in your favorite graphics program. Worked for me.

Ok
 

but i Will be going to a FULL Server sortly.

This is a Pain in the old keister

Please tell me if the interface looks crappy.

if it looks like hell, I will not finish it, i have other ideas that will knock your socks off

Apache is a Web server,
 

i have a Dial-up, how would that help me?

plus, AnalogX's Simple Server is the way to go if you want to set up a web server, its a small program and you can get it up and runnning in under 2 minutes!!!

ive seen it on Tech TV all you need is a Static IP and a fast connection and you have a web server

Here is some (i hope constructive) criticism on your skin:

[1] it's pretty big. That's not necessary a bad thing, but I don't think most people want WinAmp taking 1/4 of their screen (@ 1024x768!)

[2] it's smooth. That too isn't a bad thing, but in combination with your choice of colors and the 'bulky look' of the skin it results in a toyish look.

[3] the text on the buttons could look a lot nicer when it seems to be 'carved out' (emboss function in a lot of gfx programs) or just give it a small dropshadow. Try experimenting with it a little (you can also try making up meaningful symbols instead of a lot of text). Personally I'm not a fan of the Comic Sans MS font, but that's just me.

[4] by far the best part of the skin are the two dark blue spheres and the buttons themselves: they have a nice 3D look (unlike the red connecting cylinders). Only one thing: try to position the time a little lower (so that it is centered in the sphere)

[5] there is a lot of empty space left. I don't know what your going to do with all that space (below the songtitle, the two cylinders and the (probably transparent?) triangle. I presume the volume slider is going to be placed there somewhere, but what about the rest of this empty space?

[6] show the importance/function of the buttons in their size/shape: currently your buttons are all equally sized and shaped; but you really want to make some distinction: the Open button is much more 'important' than for example the crossfade button. Their functions are totally different too: the crossfade (and repeat/shuffle) button is a switch, the open button is an 'action button' (a switch shows the current state it's in: ON/OFF, action button is a button with a specific action). I certainly would make (at least) that distinction clear in the shape/color/animation of the button.

My advice (if you want to go on with this skin): scale it down (to 50%-70% of the original), work on the buttons and add some more detail (textures!).

Thank you
 

Thankj you, i know it loos UGLY so im going to Trash it and do anoher project. Thank you for your support,

Peace out..

Re: Apache is a Web server,
 

I know lots of people that run web servers from dial up. It's not a whole lot different than any other connection unless you're getting hits constantly.

Re: Thank you
 

yeah, I think you made the right decision. It was too boxish and clunky that by the time you made it look and feel aesthetic you would of had a completely different skin.
