Oh Mr Jones, we need you to move this thread to Modern Skins, please.

foto_choppa · 26th December 2004, 16:29

what does that mean?, its supposed to be a classic skin *me confused*

Namelessv1 · 26th December 2004, 17:14

A classic skin cannot have the placement of its buttons altered. There is a pre-defined area for each button. By default, your design would have to be a modern skin.

gaekwad2 · 26th December 2004, 17:34

But if you want to make a classic skin you don't have to learn code.

Download the Skinner's Atlas, read the readme and you're ready to go.

Mr Jones · 26th December 2004, 17:44

Moved to modern skins.

Your signature is also too large so I removed it, please read the forum rules, in particular the bit about sig sizes.

-make the cButtons smaller and remove the drop shadow
-make the the vol and bal slider thumb smaller
-do the same like above with the repeat and other CFG buttons
-guess what you should do with the close etc. buttons? .D
i guess it will make the skin look better, i dun know

foto_choppa · 26th December 2004, 20:15

And why exactly would you like everything miniaturized? It would be refreshing to have a skin on which one could actually find the buttons.

carlosp · 27th December 2004, 16:09

it was only a tip, a subjectiv feeling about the looking of the skin. i would make them smaller because in my eys they seems like they dont fit with the rest since they are so big.

Wildrose-Wally · 27th December 2004, 17:05

If he had some small and some large buttons, your argument might have merit, but since they are all big, they fit and your argument becomes moot.

foto_choppa · 31st December 2004, 05:04

yeah, i made the buttons big because its annoying trying to find those little ones, i was goin for a basic, yet stylish look.

btw, how hard is it to start to learn to code?

carlosp · 31st December 2004, 16:11

depends on what you did befor? if you are familar with other languages like C++ or PHP or any other computer language then it will be very easy.

in my eyes, the cbuttons are very ok. though the vol- , seek- and balancethumbs really could be resized..
nice skin though
