New Skin - Unnamed
 

I know, I know, I can't stop! :cry:

I need to know what to do with the VIS/Time Display area (notice how it's not skinned? :)). Dunno what to do with it...

And I need a name for this, if it ever lifts off.

Any other suggestions and criticism are appreciated

Your detail wipes me out man, i have no idea what to call it, i was thinking of something like tracker or scan something along those lines (pun intended):) its gonna be a good skin whatever you call it:up:

i think the vis should be a solid block of the same green and make the vis white and the same green to give it a dotted effect similar to the line under the pos bar

Do you ever take a break cleanup??? :p

I like the color usage on this one...reminds me of the good old teal theme from windows 3.11...it didnt look as good as this tho...lol

For a sec i thought it looked a little to much like your last one, but its actually quite different...i like the 1 pixel line style..maybe do something different with the cbuttons to make this one a real standout...

As for the vis area, maybe do what lisaandaz said, but try it in lines instead of a solid block...would look good either way tho...

I can do the dots in the VISCOLOR.txt, but okay. I've never done a separated VIS before. :)

Argh, I'm not gonna do anymore tonight, I'm gonna go to bed. :igor:

to do a seperated vis you just use two colours on the viscolor.txt file

Seperated vis looks good, sometimes, im using seperated vis on the robnation skin cos it looked to plain without it, and on a skin with detail like this the blank area in between the vis and numbers would stand out...

call it "perpetual cold"

it sends chills down my spine when i look at it
good work

Nice, Keetah, I think I'll use that one. :up:

I'll work on this thing tomorrow, but tomorrow I have to work too. Nuts. :mad: :(

i used a seperated vis on my last skin it looks hot and stads out but i found most ppl use fire style and thats when it looks like crap :(

id incorporate the cluter bar into the vis number area.

i agree with peacemaker, the clutterbar would look good like that...

Okay, updated a few more things, skinned the VIS and Time Display...

What do you think?

Mm, I've just noticed, Caz and I have very similar skinning styles. :weird:

Anyone out there? :weird:

Nice work cleanup, i like the look of the vis area/clutterbar :up:

I wouldnt change a thing so far...:D

lol thanx :D - I'll take that as a compliment. Minimalistic, (did I spell that right? :igor: ) but detailed (does that make sense? lol) is my preferred style - I've done a lot of skins of my own that I never published, usually in that style, although I like doing pic skins too :D

Gateway To Heaven was my first sorta none 'flat' skin - and I dunno if I like how it turned out lol :D - zpworld is a prime example of how I skinned in the 'early' days lol :D

How long've you been skinning for, Caz?

I've been skinning for about three months now.

Say, how long does it take for a skin to be published at Deviant? I'm thinking of joining.

I think the first skin I did was about 5 - 6 months ago :D not very long huh? - by 'the old days' I meant when I first started lol.

My first skin was based on Sonic Adventure 2 - and I did that when the game was first released so....you do the maths :D but I didnt really start reading the forums until recently.

I had already done 2 - 3 skins before reading em too. (SA2, MPayne and KnuckleAmp)

(A lot of the skin sI start dont get finished, thats why I have a 'limited supply' lol)

At Deviant the skin submits as soon as you click the 'send' button :D - I usually submit em there then change the link when they finally get thru to winamp.com :rolleyes:

cleanup/caz :

Did either of you do any skinning of other stuff b4 winamp??

No. :D

But I did do a lot of designing (like at school and stuff)
I also did Signature Design (I had a site once too...I miss it :()
I did the 'sig' design thing for the friends I had on Unreal Tournament (mostly the ones
who I spoke to in the ezboard forums, and my fellow clan members :D), thats how I learnt the ins and outs of PSP.

No.

But I had started a little 'business' within my school last year. I made 400 x 400 stretchable desktop wallpapers for my friends.

Really, my friends gave me a title, and I tried to come up with something to fit it.

I do some for myself, in fact, most of them are for myself, my business died :D but some of the titles are:

Blue Rain

Shadows

Speed

Firestorm

As soon as you click Submit!!! DevArt here I come! :D

I think i might join devart too :D

I've been skinning for about 4 months or so and my first submitted skin still hasnt been published..:weird:

Hmm, with DevArt:

Must you have a running screenshot of the skin? Or just a skeleton?

just a ss really... it doesn't matter how you take the picture - I usually just use the skeleton from the zip file.

click on golden hiroshima in my sig to give you an idea - This is how im gonna present mine from now on...it looks more proffesional :D I think anyway :D

Hey, that's the skin I gave you the name for.

No credit?? Hehe. :D

lol was it you? - bad memory :D didnt I mention you in the credits? sorry! I though I did - I think I mentioned all who helped in the readme though. sorry!! :D

Hehe np :D

Wow! Four people downloaded my skin within the first five minutes! I'm happy to get even one download.

Now I love DeviantArt. :D

Argh. All right. I have no idea what to do for the EQ. Looks like I'm gonna scrap this.

Dont scrap it!!! At least not till you've tried a few different things with the eq....

wow :D your detail kills me :p

:D

But it's gonna get scrapped, probably..

Someone help me think of something for the EQ. I just can't keep doing the same thing over and over, e.q. the single-pixel-line thing.

Why not :p ? If it looks good...
You could probably do something like that above your vol/bal bars... Ok, it's 2 blue bars, but i think it doesn't look bad. Then you could put some single pixels on the one side, in a weird pattern. Does this sound good? :D

Um. Rephrase? :weird: :D :igor:

I think I'm just going to do simple fill bars for the EQ bars.

argh, my english is too bad, I see :D
I'll try to paint what I mean, with your permission :p. Wait a second.

Knock yerself out.

I'm loosing my patience now. :igor: Opera won't let me attach files and Netscape is damn slow and apparently it doesn't like PHP. Sigh.


So I uploaded it to my space.

I thought of something like this. Not perfect, and probably the BG wouldn't fit in. But you get the idea :)

For the EQ bars? :D

It looks real nice, Nini. :D :up:

Would this be a fill bar? Or a simple scroll bar?

scroll bar? :confused: (lol)

this is exact the size of 1 eq bar, without the slider.:D
