Very nice. Keep us updated! :)

updated.,.. yet again!
 

okay, heres the eq too.. this WILL change, so dont get too attached

Wow. Seriously. Wow.
This is one of the best skins I've seen for months. When you publish this, I'd be very surprised if it isn't featured.
You're using photoshop for this yea? Could you be a lovely, helpful brilliant person and suggest some tutorials I could have a look at? I've got so used to using PSP, I just can't handle photoshop.

tnx, its nice to get feedback on these things, as for the tutorials,. ill give you guys a big hint, for bendy metalic curves, design them seperatly in flash 4/5 press printscreen and paste into photoshop, when you strech it to the right (smaller) size, it looks very nice and smooth, its how i did the semi transparent buttons, anyways, thats about the only tip i can personally give, ill check my bookmarks later on when ive had a nap and post you some good tute url's, also, this skin will be named "raydream aquila blue"
, lucid, e-mail me at admin@naoneo.com and i'll send you the current wsz so you can look at it closer, so far i have the main, eq and playlist windows down, open to much abuse too ;)

i have one complaint for winamp.. not being able to have transparencies on the playlist SUCKS

p.p.s. i'm glad i dont have a cat, because it would be dead by now, ive spent that much time stuck in photoshop :P

about the skin. get rid of that gradient behind the cbuttons. apart from that its absolutely awesome. great work

Re: updated.,.. yet again!
 

Thats good... :cool:

oof
 

bobo, i'd remove the gradient but.. i like it, and its going to change anyway.. alot of it is, just adding stuff and such now, fine tuning, animating cursors etc

heres latest SC..

:eek: **amazed**
One tiny detail that would improve the skin sooo much...
your clutterbar. the five spheres are stacked vertically, in a straight line, which goes against the rest of the skin. You could hide the a bit, by placing the down (on the "z-axis") ie put them a few layers lower, so they'd be below the silver frame, and no longer obstructing the fluid feeling of your skin :)

Just a thought...

amp, watch this *loads adobe*

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/raydreamab2.jpg

this to your liking?

much better. tho if it's possible put them a pixel to the right the first one is a bit hard to see. and i still think the skin would benefit a lot if you put some dark rusty metal or something where the gradient is now

even more modifications made, bobo, i would use rust but it would mean sacrificing the origional concept of a clean biometalic look, though i'll take your view into concideration and try it out at some time or another

p.s. ill be working on volume, ballance and eq sliders now, so i may not be updating much for the next couple of hours, but please, leave some opinions and ways you think it could be improoved, also, lucid, i am greatfull to receive praise from someone like yourself (you make some kick ass skins), we should maybe do a collab sometime ;), im sure winamp are desperate for skins to occupy the featured spots ;)


just got to do some tedeous work now, but here it is :)
http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/final.jpg

it is my professional opinion that you need to get out more.

you're doing this way to fast for your own good.

you're going to burn out.

or forget to eat and die at the computer.

eh.

fuck it....

as long as you're producing stuff as shit hot as this i don't care.

FASTER MAN FASTER

I think the the MB looks seperate from the rest of the skin due to the EQ's transparency. Perhaps you could use no transparency on the bottom half of the EQ and drop it to meet the MB. I agree that the lack of Transparency in the MB is stupid, but think of the redraw problems on slow computers when resizing.

Whoa! /me likes, raydream! :)

should be finnished by tomorrow, but i'd say ill be fully done on wednesday morning.., not bad considering i didnt actually count on starting a skin today

heres what it looks like so far

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/final2.jpg

3 letters: WOW!!! :cool: that's kewl (whisper: what's the secret...):D

But I dont know... the eq bars look a bit too fat for me...just a feeling

Don't like the colors you've added, I would stick to the colorscheme :) And your PL needs more action, it looks to metallic, and not organic enough :)

okay, you guys must be tired with just looking, heres somthing for you to play with while i get to work on finnishing it

warning, it doesnt have mb skinned, micro, easter eggs etc, doesnt yet have playlist buttons.., BUt, it will soon.. if i can decide on a style ;)

download

enjoy!

Amp, the playlist is subject to alot of surgery right now, as for the EQ colours, whats on there now is something i stuffed in so i could mess with the controlls while i work ;), nothing permanent, i was thinking though, the actual symbols and tracers, .. the light blue/green colour as in the rest, or the grey?

your call

:D:D:D
I'd say, try to squeeze some more grey into that eq, to keep it from getting too green....but only if that works out though, otherwise stick with green :)

yeah! I like your playlist button! (not the only thing I like of course) And I still think you should think over your eq again
One question: are the winshades supposed to be red or will the red areas be transparent? BTW...it's not that important but you have no winbuttons (minimize,close and all)

winbuttons come last, as for the shades, i havent started on them yet, yes they will contain transparency too, but at this current stage, im just trying to get a set layout and everything looking smooth :)

do NOT like the new colours. i sa remake the eqbars completely. use the grey. btw if you want some rust. take some texture (http://www.digitexturia.com) and put it over the metal part and set it's layer mode to for example hard light (or whatever it's called i have the swedish version of photoshop) tho this might not fit in. do as you please i think this will be awesome whatever you decide

its fantabulous skins like this that make me wonder why I even bother..

but then now, I'm starting to feel limited. ::goes on a hunt for some photoshop::

sorry
 

sorry to invade your post.. just didnt think its worth a new topic.. and seeing ppl are talking about filters and stuff

i never used adobe photoshop before.. and this is the first time i used it.. well.. just playing around with stuff

i present you: newthingy LOL

Lynx: That looks good, keep going with it, see how it evolves!

raydream: This is coming on extrememly well and extrememly fast. This thread got me spending the last hour trauling around reading tutorials on PShttp://www.mear.fsnet.co.uk/smilies/browraise.gif.
The EQ does look a little cluttered compared to the rest of the skin. But I know it's hard to keep clean because of all the bars, and the fact that they're all the same. Here's an idea: Maybe you could do a larger version of the little thing to the right of the volume dial. So you have a smooth curve of lines that appear as you raise the bar. The button could have a green background, and a slim bar at the top. Then as you lift it up, the bars beneath it grow to match the button...

I assume you're going to make the white in the CButtons turn to green when you click them? What about the EQ/PL buttons? You could try outlining the main circle with light green/white when it's on.

I can't wait 'til you finish this skin http://www.mear.fsnet.co.uk/smilies/grin.gif.

lucid, know any possible way to remove the actual BUTTONS from the eq sliders?, i know the usual vol and bal mathod, but i dont know how or even IF removing these is possible, look!

http://www.carbon20.com/naoneo/eq.jpg

hai, n/m will apply aboth method ;) tnx lucid
