nice

BUT NOT NICE CPU @ 99%
cpu @approx 55-66% in shade

UUL · 19th September 2004, 09:35

try an higher timer resolution, works for me

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 09:37

i have it on 50, which is cool for all skins, not gonna change it to any higher than that!

the skin should work on 50 tho!

UUL · 19th September 2004, 09:39

mines on 50 to, have about 40% in main mode, how much cpu do you have?

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 09:50

cpu is not in question, it works fine with 0-12% on virtually all skins except this one

here's something im not sure you need
in display.m
i take it this is just to switch the lcd display from the buttons to the songticker etc.

why dont u just use the lcd circle and use onEnterArea()??
mousepos.onTimer() {

if(getMousePosY() > (lMain.getTop() + 70) && getMousePosY() < (lMain.getTop() + 220) && getMousePosX() > (lMain.getLeft() + 65) && getMousePosX() < (lMain.getLeft() + 235))
changedisplay(1);
else
changedisplay(0);
}

UUL · 19th September 2004, 09:52

because the display has all kinds of stuff ontop of it, i tried, but it just didn't work! any help here?

/edit: i've changed the timer delay to 500, it's now using around 20% of my cpu

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 10:10

ive got it down to between 5-11 mainly on 8 which is way better than using that horrible timer mouse position, thats a huge performance increase, which now makes the skin useable!

by using the glass layer as the catch area and using onEnterArea works fine to show the cbuttons

its just the onLeaveArea which needs to be sorted now as thats not quite working as youd expect.

most peeps are only gonna be seconds when changing those buttons so you could try and use a small timer which will change the display back to 0 after say 2/3/4 seconds

that will make it behave as you wanted it in the first place without the overhead of the mouseposition timer

make sure you comment out all your mousetimer calls

UUL · 19th September 2004, 10:13

got a solution:

the timer thing you said and a config window to set the stay time

tnx for help slob, mutch appreciated

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 10:18

nps

now to me the skin is useable

yep good idea or you could also add in a cross type section layer underneath the cbuttons which is bigger than the buttons so the user will always trigger that cross before the buttons are reached and you could then use the onEnterArea/onLeaveArea without adding in a timer

UUL · 19th September 2004, 10:26

i don't get it, but i guess you're right

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 10:32

basically have a direct layer under the buttons as a catch area instead of using the glass, you could make it round or cross shaped which is wider than the buttons, round is probably the best way tho
then the user will have to move the mouse across that area before leaving the skin which will then trigger the onLeaveArea so you can set it back to the main display

although as youve said thers a lot of stuff in there, so maybe its best to do the timer thing and then you can appeal to most peeps with having a configurable slider delay

UUL · 19th September 2004, 10:34

that woudn't help, ig the cursor goes over the buttons the onleavearea would be triggered to

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 11:03

stick to the configurable timer then

i expect another update today then? heheh

UUL · 19th September 2004, 11:05

offcourse

UUL · 19th September 2004, 14:51

ok, i've changed it

beta

got some problems tough

i get an guru meditation null object, but can't find the cause of it

the visuals button only works when it's the first button

need some help here!

SLoB · 19th September 2004, 15:12

your slider label should be length

and your mousetrap layers are blocking all of the main buttons, i cant slider the volume, progress bars and some of the outer buttons
use the shift+ctrl +right click to check the ids
you may need to reduce the size of the mousecatchment area

no guru errors here and it seems to be working as intended

dont forget about the debugger

i mentioned it in a previous post, its the best way to get those bugs ironed out

oh can you make the songticker a little narrower each side plz

carlosp · 19th September 2004, 15:14

not bad but pretty buggy yet and i get a guru.basicly i dun like the conecpt but i must say our working fast

UUL · 19th September 2004, 15:18

and what debugger?

QuadHeliX · 19th September 2004, 23:33

been camping, Yeah i got the guru on the last beta too in display.maki something is not labeled right or left out. probably a simple line. So how many Vises have you got done, how many does Infinil wanna make for this. also think the delay on the cbuttons should be other way around. more delay on the songticker and timer fading into the buttons.

drake · 20th September 2004, 02:59

Looks good. Only thing that isn't rubbing me 100% the awesome way is the buttons at the bottom and how they are transparent. Just seems a bit odd looking.

Love the Fading you got going on the Play buttons, I think that will work great. Also What do you guys think of the Visuals? UUL did a great job with the Bass, mid range , treble circle visual (access this by programming a button with Visuals on it then click on it. Switch visual by going to config) Anyone wanting to do Color themes put em here.

I think it's one of the best skins I'we seen in the last time.
i'll send some cthemes asap

UUL · 23rd September 2004, 12:43

wow, those themes really look cool

SLoB · 24th September 2004, 12:51

your guru error is because you havnt declared the timer before the call to it

bosh these in this order

hold = new Timer;
staysl.SetPosition(disphold);

UUL · 24th September 2004, 14:40

k, tnx man

-=RoNtZ=- · 27th September 2004, 15:01

nice one. reminds me on a sketch i've got flying around on paper here

great work

QuadHeliX · 29th September 2004, 22:32

OK we got the problem solved thanks Leech. No more Guru! Taking color themes, you can basically use 2 colors if you want and the theme will look great if you copy and paste. not too hard to Theme and the skin absolutely has Millions of Different looks you can achieve.

-=RoNtZ=- · 12th October 2004, 16:10

am i the only one who has 100% cpu usage or has this already been mentionned?

Main mode + playlist is 2% for me (~11,000 - ~14,000k) just playing. Bumps up to 40-70% on mouseover the middle

playlist needs a stick mode btw

Will do most of the hard work for color theming this skin.Graviton
What you have to do after you install Color editor and make your theme, is to open Graviton go to C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\Graviton2.wal
t then right click on the file and extract it to its own directory C:\Graviton through winzip. Goto the directory
C:\Graviton\xml\colors.xml and find the name of the Theme you made. And post the results here.
