[UPDATE] Beacon - now 2.9 ready

jim_phelps · 23rd March 2003, 03:30

Hi,
before i update my skin, it would be nice if someone could try it out (especially winamp 2.9 users).
These windows should be skinned correctly:
- main
- equalizer
- playlist
- avs
- minibrowser
- video
- media library
- mikroamp
- cover & tag
- amarok
- vidamp
- sidamp
- easteregg

thanks,
Jim

@MODs:
I'm very sorry, please move this post to the correct section.

Pretty good! My only bitch is that the CButtons seem to stick out a little too much...

Perhaps... darken them.

Thank you for your comments.
I minimized the light area now, take a look at the attached pic.
Which function does the 7x7 px square have in gen.bmp?

Nobody knows what the square does, yet.

Maybe it is the source of infinite power. If you make it the exact right colour, Mike the Llama is yours.

RGB: 162,98,122

Tada!

Cleanup · 23rd March 2003, 16:05

It worked..

jim_phelps · 23rd March 2003, 16:20

Ok, color changed, i can feel the power

Another question:
Why do the inactive chars C F G H J K X have active colors in original gen.bmp?

thanks for help,
Jim

Very nice and clean skin. Think I'll keep it.

The ML Window worls fine. Only complaint is that the coursor in the search window is very hard to see.

flatmatt · 24th March 2003, 01:42

Excellent job with the new windows. My only complaint is that the labels on the dark grey are difficult to read, but that's true in the rest of the skin as well, so it's not just an ML problem.

jim_phelps · 24th March 2003, 18:22

Thank you very much for comments, i'll change the colors when another bug appears. It's now published.

@kiilu:

Thks so much to making me discover Amarok plugins, this plugins is so cool for complete single track album.

hey jim

Nice skin, and pretty bug-free by the looks of it - you must have had a great teacher

I especially like the PL stacks.

The only criticisms I can come up with are:

-the grey writing (eg. "shuffle" "repeat" "on" "auto", "60 170 310 600 1K......." and some stuff in the ML) is a bit faint and difficult to read on my monitor.

The pressed states of the buttons at the bottom of the ML contrast with the unpressed states a bit too sharply for my tastes.

-the rounded rectangle around the mini-cbuttons and time display at the bottom of the PL - I would make it darker. Not exactly a big problem - just a very small aesthetically motivated observation.

Sorry, I just couldn't help it. PLUG: Amarok is a cool plugin, isn't it? Many of my skins have Amarok skins

Incidentally, have you heard the "Amarok" album that inspired the plugin? It's pretty special
