i believe if u type "7 pt." next to the font in the vis thing or playlist thing wherever it is it changes the size, ive seen it on a few skins, but ill experiment with other fonts too

Hmm...I havent tried that before..

/me goes off to check if it works.

[edit] Didnt work for my skins...I think the font size can only be specified in the preferences [/edit]

i know you can make it bold and stff so there is a way to make the ofnt size different i just hafta open up my skins and find the ones that did it agian, when i find out ill let you know

The only way i think the font can be made bold is to use a bold font..For example: arial black instead of arial.

uh uh, open a pledit.txt and in the font spot type "Arial bold" or "Tahoma bold" or any other font with "bold" after it, and it makes it bold

it might be 7pt, or 7point or 7 point or something i hafta figure it out, i was just playing that army game, its kinda hard

Youre right...Bold works. But i just stuffed around with different size options and couldnt get anything to work.

then ig uess im just gonna hafta get a smaller more suitable font, after school tomorrow im gonna make the AVS and MB and MikroAMP

Heres a list of the standard fonts that come with the different microsoft os'

Anything from the win98 list should be fine.

thanks for the list atmo, thqt will come in handy :D

Jellby, maybe you could at that list to your Skinner's Atlas?

Too long a list, I'm afraid, but I'm adding a "look for a list" statement ;)

'Bold' and 'italic' do work because they are different fonts. Arial and Arial bold are different fonts belonging to the Arial family, Arial 10pt and Arial 8pt are the same font but drawn at a different size. I don't think you can specify the size in pledit.txt, especially knowing that you can change the size in the preferences...

uhm, who said i knew i could dot hat before atmo said it earlier? i never look in the preferences menu and neither do lots of people, i didnt know u could change the size in the preferences, thus thought 7pt might work.

I meant, if there is an option to change the size in the preferences, it is unlikely that it be possible to change it in pledit.txt (I might need help with the syntax in this sentence). But perhaps it's possible, I don't know, I haven't tried all possibilities...

Done..
 

done designing this thingy, next time i have a day free liek i did today im going to skin it and post it for download on devart since itll most likely be to big for an attachment, here it is, my only concerns are how the PL will look (when stretched out, those spines will repeat) and im going to have to get rid of that oprb at the bottom of the MB and put it somewhere else unless i stretch that too, everthing else ought to work out fine, plus i need to think of a font for the Playlist. anyway here it is, hope you guys approve :)

File upload thanks to kelseyB on this one, my FTP was being homosexual like and kelsey was nice enough to upload it for me :)

the mb is a little boring at the bottom compared to the rest of the skin, but everything else is nice
good job

yea ill dos oemthing about that, i think maybe the winshade modes look rather boring also, ill see what i can come up with, ill skin it when im satisfied :)

I like it! I feel that the res should be changed to blue and possibly mess wthe colours, see what you get.

If you want originality, you will stray away from using grey and red as the only colours for the skin.

:)


:up: Alot of effort went into the skin

ya a few days went into it but a lot of it was helped out by atmo, he gave me some pointers and pointed out things that didnt look right when i posted them in the mIRC channel, he posted pretty much right after i ddi every time :)

thanks atmo :) my best skin yet IMO

one word
thisisaverygreatskinyoumadehere

:D
I think i should call in the help of atmo, maybe my skins look like something then :D

Maybe i should get some help from Atmo too...:D

eheh, thanks simon :)

Atmo - Atmo is a good person to ask questions to, he gives good advice, you should ask him some stuff on ur next skin :D

ill start skinning it soon, im going out today dunno what im gonna do but im nto stayin here all day, maybe ill start it tonight and finish tomorrow?

ive come across a slew of different bugs in my skin im making here, and im looking for somebody (if i cant fix them myself) who knows a lot bout skinning winamp to help me figure out how to fix these problems, soon (prolly tonight) ill have a beta up, the bugs are annoying me, i cant fix some of them, mainly one on the PL when its in the minimized mode (second button makes it like a bar, i dunno what its called) the buttons get shifted and its hard fixing it, so if anybody is interested let me know and ill send it to you if i cant fix it so you can help me try and fix it, thanks guys.

Theres a pixel movement bug in pl winshade mode buttons...It affects every skin.

yea but its bothering me in this one, in my other ones i was able to make it so you dont notice it, but in this one i cant figure out how to get the pixel shift to be ignored, its annying me

XG-13 and Deafall dont have it for instance, download them and look, this one i cant manage to fix it =\

ok why is this happening? i dont kno how to fix it , it happens when you have a song playing that doesnt need to be scrolled across the screen, anybody know how to fix this? its circled in yellow

Its part of the background of text.bmp not matching the background of the other sections (where the letters are), happened to me when i was making after midnight.

do you knwo which block it is so i can get rid of it? thats the only bug before i put it on devart, i mean that and thepledit thing i cant fix =\

Can you post your text.bmp?? I'll have a look and see if i can find which one it is.

nice detail work on this skin :) very cool!

sure, thanks atmo :)
thanks razman, i like ur sig and avatar :)

This one should work.

Thanks blueballs :) - the sig is actually parts of my next skin. I made the main a couple of weeks ago but haven't worked on it since. I'm just not sure about it.

you add the right one? it dont work and i looked at them both nothign was different, heh

oops.

Heres the one that works.

thank man, what did you do? add one pixel of maroon dark dark red to the right side of the text Bitmap?

i just replaced it so i didnt look, im dumb i guess ;)

i think its done im just looking for bugs now

I just moved everything 1 px to the left and it worked. Im not exactly sure which charachter was outside its boundary, but that seems to have fixed it.

all done heres a skin shot and a link to it on devart, pretty sure it's bug free except the pixel shift on the PL, but thats only if u click the button and move the mouse off it (click it but dont let it maximize the window) it shifts 1 pixel, i cant figure out how to fix it, i think its the only bug, if u find one let me know please and ill fix it. :) Please comment if you download it :)

Nice. I dont think you really needed to include a 700kb screenshot of the skin in the .wsz file though. ;)

I was wondering why it was over 400kb.

[edit] just noticed that the tray icon for mikro is still showing the one from template amp [/edit]

ill make it smaller

[EDIT]
added tray icons, if you really want em download it again (202kb now instead of 454kb)

:)
[/EDIT]

I found a bug
 

I found a bug, the EQ sliders go up 2 pixels too high. other than that very nice.

An excerpt from Skinner's Atlas' readme.txt:

I guess that was your problem. Another one:

Was it enough? :D
