How does my skin look now, I have learned alot, took me all day

[garetjax]

Unfinished - but, at least you have learned alot.

[Rukasuzu]

yes its unfinished, I'm going to finish it soon, so looks good?

[garetjax]

it is not my style of skin...picture skins are not my thing. I think it has promise.

[Rukasuzu]

I have fixed the blue lines, that were near shufrep, I will make the text visible soon, I have edited first post

[mike-db]

A lot of the pixels are not lined up properly if you fixed that it would be a lot better.

[Rukasuzu]

Here is the preview of fixed pixels

[garetjax]

the shuffle and repeat share a 1px wide slice that you seem to have ommitted.

[Rukasuzu]

Here is my media library, I just figured it out, I almost completed my skin

[Rukasuzu]

I just have finished my skin for Bleach IchigoAndRukia, Thank you all for your help

[garetjax]

just make sure to keep all your questions and responses in one thread concerning the development/design of that skin ~ (This makes it easier to reply to you).

[Rukasuzu]

Can I use nsis installer for my Classic skins? Will they accept that?

[Mr Jones]

No.

[Rukasuzu]

How do I make visualizations for winamp?

[Rukasuzu]

Seemed lagging today, the winamp submitting, sorry for editing the skin so much

[Rukasuzu]

I just made a new skin and submitted twice sorry, The new skin is Sanctuary, So someone has to put in the skin in review mode before gets reviewed right?, It didn't show up in review after I submitted it. No email yet, just pick one of those two skins I submitted

[garetjax]

Generally speaking you won't see your skin submission right away. As it takes time to review and remark on the quality of work that you have submitted. Be patient, no amount of posting to the forums will change the status in the que of published work.

Thank You,

[DrO]

all i can see is the doctor who one, i don't know about any other submissions you've made as i can only see what is pending review. the speed of review completely depends on the reviewers (who volunteer to do it) to find the time so it can be anywhere from a day to a few weeks at times for things to looked at.

[garetjax]

It is not about which is faster etc. It is more about the submission type. Modern Skin I believe are on a different que than classic. Which by association means that the submission que will be different for each.

[Rukasuzu]

For some reason it wouldn't accept my classic Sanctuary one

[Rukasuzu]

Thank you so much for all your help it is fine now, for some reason wouldn't tell me if my size of main window was correct

Everything is on the same queue, even plugins and AVS presets. The difference is in the reviewers. Some won't review modern skins, but all could review classic skins.

Of course, it does all depend on the time they have to review.

As for me, I don't review anything anymore. I'm retired.

[Rukasuzu]

I love making Winamp Skins, deviantart has anime modern skins you can easily edit. A list of easly edited winamp modern skins would be great

[garetjax]

I stand corrected

[Rukasuzu]

I really need help with this, how did he do eq bars you can actually see the picture

[mike-db]

You can't, it does not work that way.

[Rukasuzu]

How did he have spaces between the bars then? I will try harder with my modern skins, so they cut people out of the backround for modern skins aha

[Veroka]

IMO, your IchigoandRukia skin and your TeamSanctuary skin look too similar, controls are almost the same, you just change the bg. Which program do you use for editing images? Have you read the readme of the template (you are using SkinnerAtlas, aren't you?). A skin usually takes much more than one day.
Anyway, if you like rectangle skins you may try with cPro ones, instead of modern.

[Rukasuzu]

I will change the background for Team Sanctuary in Playlist editor. I have figured out the, the modern skin I wasn't resizing the picture in buttons.png properly, I already have submitted the modern skin. Thank you for your input, I am using paint.net program,plus the photoshop psd plugin for paint.net NextDoctorWho will be update it soon and the Sanctuary
I have lots of time formyself.

[Rukasuzu]

Here is my TeamSanctuary1.3 new skin fixed and remade, I remaded it cause I lost the other one

[Veroka]

Ok, if you want to hear my oppinion, here it is:

1) I guess you'll remake playlist window. Try with black background.
2) Forget about red color. No red at eq, no red at cbuttons, no red at close, minimize, etc buttons.
3) Forget about orange color.
4) Avoid using titles at windows.
5) Try to incorporate cbuttons to the image. And so the volume, balance, on-off-preset buttons.
6) Crop the eqmain.bmp file just to left away that red line (red again! oh no!).

Take a look at some picture skins.

[Rukasuzu]

Here is the fixed version, Play-list and Media Library match now. With darker color, I could used the lighter color, but for the picture darker color seems to work fine

[mike-db]

Cool! Keep it up.

[Veroka]

Are you using SkinAmp, SkinnerToo or something like that?

[Rukasuzu]

I used to use paint.net free program, now I use Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, I stopped uing generators long time ago. If you want a plugin for Photoshop in paint.net do a search for paint.net psd plugin, there should be couple lists there in Google

[Mr Jones]

It makes my eyes hurt, I couldn't use that skin for any longer than it takes to apply the skin and minimise winamp to the tray.

Too much eyestrain, bad mojo.

[Veroka]

How many hours or days do you spend in making one skin? Why do you make modern skins that look similar to classic ones (in fact they look as generated by a program)?
How about a new classic skin, take your time (more than 1 day, please), start a new thread y begin posting your WIPs? I'd like to help you, but don't make skins in a hurry.

Blimey, I can't even have an idea in a day let alone knock out a skin.

For example, I currently have 4 skins (snigger 4 skins) on the go, one of them has been gestating over 3 years nearly, another about 2 (ok, extreme I know), JR-X has been on the go for over a month or so and DukSide remix about a week (although I did have most of this drawn up and created from the first time I made the skin)

But to sit down and do it all in one day?,even if you blasted at it non stop hour after hour you'd get tired, and when you get tired you get sloppy and messy.

Take your time, their aint no rush, people would rather have something that looks and works for them rather than a rush job that induces a migrane...
