Omg!

Off Topic: I gained fifty three posts in three days.

Atmo 8th March 2002 03:31

53 in 3 days??? And your keyboard is still working?? :p

_Blackdog_ 8th March 2002 03:42

what the hell? how come i never noticed that posts:9763+ was part of your profile? i really thought thats how many posts you had! i even asked you how you got that many posts in such a short time and you just said "you dont want to know." i always wondered why your number of posts had that little + and why it never changed. i can't believe i never saw the real number of posts right under it.

Cleanup 8th March 2002 13:49

I like the name "Retro Fever"... I think I'll take that. Thanks, Simon. :D

Btw, BlackDog, I'm surprised you never knew. :p

Cleanup 8th March 2002 13:50

Okay, that was pointless.

simon snowflake 8th March 2002 14:03

The moment you've all been waiting for...

No, not a download.

It's running! I've all the .bmp's done, except for the MB and AVS, and I have to do the cursors.

One question, should I do a MikroAmp skin? And if so, how, what's the .bmp called?

Note: Check out the custom TEXT.bmp. I spent a whole 10 minutes on that, which is amazing. Usually I just fill in the stuff that's already there with my colour of preference.

mikro.bmp. its so easy to do, you might as well. here's the file incase you need it

Cleanup 8th March 2002 19:41

I never knew Template Amp had a mikro skin. Thanks. :D

skinme! 8th March 2002 20:06

Thanks to whoever said they had Connect-X in their rotation - hey it's a whole page back - you don't expect me to find out do you.

10 mins on TEXT.BMP - that's minute - I have spent hours and hours on that BMP once, although the shortest time creating a new one is 10mins for me - I had it in Verdana and I had to move each letter one pixel right coz there were 2px between each not 1px.

Nice skin - definite download. Mikro is a must as is MB and the damn AVS grrrr. Anyways.

Postaholic.

You're almost at 1000 posts. Who's a post-a-holic? lol

All right. I was hoping my custom text would be used as the Playlist Entry text as well, but once I wrote up my PLEDIT.txt, it vanished. :(

So now my custom text is only used in the PL Windowshade and for the KBPS and KHZ count.

Well, here's a download( :D ). Hope you like. :D

MB and AVS skinned, MikroAmp included, cursors. No MBinner, don't know what the hell it does. Doesn't it display something when you open the MB in a certain skin with the skin's "MBinner"? :weird:

And for you, Skinme!, a wonderful readme.txt. :D

Thanks for the name, Simon, and thanks everyone for the comments and support.

Enjoy!

Cleanup 8th March 2002 21:12

I wrote "Feck off" in my readme. Would they reject my skin for that? :igor:

_Blackdog_ 8th March 2002 21:50

what the hell is this "all your base are belong to us" stuff? i see it at newgrounds all the time and i have no idea what it is.
speaking of newgrounds, did you guys see they started a porn site called newdgrounds? yes it is affiliated w/ newgrounds.:weird:

_Blackdog_ 8th March 2002 21:51

also, how do you get trans on the mikroamp?

Cleanup 8th March 2002 22:06

The all your base thing comes from a badly translated Japenese video game called Zero-X or something. People noticed the bad translation, and how the people in the videos said "Someone set us up the bomb" and "Hello, gentlemen, you are on the way to descruction... make your time." But, the most significant line was the All Your Base line.

That's where it comes from.

As for the transparencies in MikroAmp... you see the big black square in the corner in the MikroAmp for TemplateAmp? That is the full window size for Mikro in Large Mode. Any areas coloured white in that area will be transparent. No regions here. Anything coloured won't be. Simple as that.

Note: there are no transparencies for Small Mode. Only Large Mode.

skinme! 8th March 2002 22:44

Also, bottom right pixel defines transparent colour for tray icons. And it's best to make your icons in 16 colours so that they're compatible with Win95/98/Me. To make sure they're in true Windows 16 colours paste them into a new image and in PSP go Colours... Decrease Colours to 16... then choose Windows colours. Then paste back.

Cleanup 8th March 2002 22:49

One more post and Skinme! becomes a "Major Dude". lol
*EDIT* Oh wait, he already is. How many posts do you need to become one? 500? *EDIT*

1000 posts, that's a lot.

Atmo 9th March 2002 00:23

Cleanup this rocks...especially how the mono/stereo, aplication and playlist menu buttons are done...:D

Just one tiny little thing..the mb is titled, where the other windows arent...is there a reason for that???

Cleanup 9th March 2002 00:57

Because the MB is speeeeeecial. :D

Cleanup 9th March 2002 01:06

Um, it's not letting me publish this thing. Once I'm done filling out everything and attaching the .wsz, I click "Publish" and it just - simply - refreshes the Publish page. Then I went back to the Developer's area and my skin wasn't there, not even under "UNPUBLISHED."

What's going on??

Atmo 9th March 2002 01:30

I was getting the same thing over and over when i submitted my third skin, I tried again a little while later and it worked...I never worked out if it was my isp being silly or the winamp server...but it was sorta annoying having to re-type everything in...notepad to the rescue...:p

Cleanup 9th March 2002 14:10

I'll try it again today.

Nice avatar, btw, Atmo. :weird:

Updated. Fixed some bugs.

One bug I can't fix: it's in the PL. When in Windowshade, I press the close button, and it messes up. I don't know how to fix this. The WS button in Windowshade works, and the WS and Close button when not in Windowshade.

Grr. Oh well. I'll still submit it.

skinme! 9th March 2002 19:46

Yeah, the PL bug is unavoidable. It's because it's fine until you press the button then the unpressed state is in a different position to the one before you pressed it. Yucky.

Thanks for the hype surrounding my 1000th. It's nothing really although I am allowing myself a small party. Brad Pitt's coming, are you? :D Nah, just me, my MP3s, you guys, pizza and porn. Oops I mean port.

Cleanup 9th March 2002 20:20

Us? Pfft. :D
