Problem whit skin in Winamp 2.9

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 06:37

Hello fellows! I am a new member of this group.

It is the problem: I made a full Skin (main, playlist, equalizer, minibrowser and WVS or "AVS"), so, when I test the skin on version 2.8, the skin works perfectly, in all parts. But, when I test the skin on version 2.9, the skin of WVS (AVS) don't works (default skin shows). What I have to do? The name of the skin file (avs.bmp) is different or not?

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 06:43

Thanks a lot. But have no diference on desing, right?

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 06:57

And, If I want to do the skin works on both versions, I have to include avs.bmp and gen.bmp on the same skin file?

Yes.

As for the difference in design, there's a lot of differences between avs.bmp and gen.bmp, i reccomend using a modified mb.bmp for gen.bmp and video.bmp

Sawg, I do what you said. But, when I test, the skin on AVS doesn't work properly. Instead of appear entirely, appears like design mode (the black screen of avs, and behind, the drawing in original form). So?

Atmo, video.bmp also is a new skin file of version 2.9? What it files works?

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 07:32

Somebody can solve my problem?

video and gen.bmp are similar to mb.bmp (for the minibrowser), in fact video.bmp is mb.bmp with different button labels. Gen.bmp can use the top and sides of mb.bmp, but will need changes to the bottom of the window.

We're still waiting for a proper template for skinning the new windows (i might make one myself if no-one else does soon), but for now skinning over the base skin does the job.

What kind of changes I have to do? Remove buttons?

Atmo · 16th April 2003, 07:59

In video.bmp you'll need to change the button labels and titlebar label (if applicable) from mb.bmp if you wish to use it.

The bottom of the gen.bmp window is smaller, so you'll have to change your image to suit. Also i forgot to mention the top of the gen.bmp window uses two tileable sections instead of one.

Can you attach a screenshot of the skin or the bitmaps you're working on so we can get a better idea of the problems you're having?

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 08:15

Wait please. I'm trying, but when I send, appears "server not found". I still trying.

GabrielFleck · 16th April 2003, 08:18

Yes. here is it.

Atmo · 17th April 2003, 05:00

Looks ok to me, just change the button labels for the < > X R ^ buttons to + 1x 2x X ^ (look at video.bmp in the 2.9 base skin for the correct labels) and change the lettering in the titlebar to video and save it as video bmp.

GabrielFleck · 17th April 2003, 05:07

Atmo, thanks so much.
You help me a lot with this advice.
But, about AVS skin, all I have to do is remove buttons from the bottom? Can you send a example to me?

Atmo · 17th April 2003, 05:35

Here's a side-by-side of my gen.bmp and mb.bmp from my gamusion skin.

If you take a look at the top and bottom of the window frames you'll see the differences.

GabrielFleck · 17th April 2003, 05:51

Atmo,

You are a really great work partner!
Thanks one more time!
When I finish the skin, I will send first to you, ok?
So you can judge the result.

One question: When I need a help, can I contact you?

For last: can you send your video.bmp for me? I want to compare with my file.

Atmo · 17th April 2003, 06:02

Sure, im usually here every day. If you need help though, your best bet is to post a thread here: http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=5 as that's where all the wa2 skinners hang out.

Here's video.bmp from gamusion so you can make the comparisons.

GabrielFleck · 17th April 2003, 06:19

Man,

You are the best.

I hope always have your help and opinion!

I appreciate your patience and technique!

thanks!

GabrielFleck · 18th April 2003, 04:25

Atmo,

I need your help one more time!

How can I design the Media Library?
What model can I use? can you send a example for me?

Thanks. I will wait your reply.
