That's an awesome start. I really like the design of it, it's nice and clean. You should consider putting the play buttons beneath the display, and the secondary controls on the lefthand side, next to the display. I'd hate to see that cool exterior blemished by buttons though. You should get really crazy and design some animated layers to cover the buttons, like Frisbee did with soundwave. (That's if the reviewers decide to allow it despite the hidden buttons) That'd be a cool, original idea.

C'est un début impressionnant. J'aime vraiment la conception d'elle, elle est gentille et propre. Vous devriez considérer mettre les boutons de jeu sous l'affichage, et les commandes secondaires du côté à gauche, à côté de l'affichage. Je détesterais pour voir qu'extérieur frais endommagé par des boutons cependant. Vous devriez devenir vraiment fou et concevoir quelques couches animées pour couvrir les boutons, comme le frisbee a fait avec le soundwave. (qu'est à dire si les critiques décident de le permettre en dépit des boutons cachés) That'd soit une idée fraîche

google is scheiße
Der ist ein ehrfürchtiger Anfang. Ich mag wirklich das Design von ihm, ist es nett und sauber. Sie sollten die, Spieltasten unter der Anzeige und die Sekundärkontrollen auf die linke Seite, nahe bei der Anzeige zu setzen betrachten. Ich würde hassen, zu sehen daß das kühle Äußere, das zwar durch Tasten verunstaltet wurde. Sie sollten wirklich verrückt werden und einige lebhafte Schichten zu entwerfen, um die Tasten, wie Frisbee zu bedecken tat mit soundwave. (das ist, wenn die Rezensenten entscheiden, es trotz der versteckten Tasten zu erlauben), ist That'd eine kühle, ursprüngliche Idee.

That's cute, flatnick, but I'd imagine that everybody here already knows about translation websites. Nice though, I love being internationalized. You should consider hiring yourself out as a translator for ppl. Just follow them around on threads and translate their posts. You'd make a killing, right along with the battery guy.

the pyrox: i'll try to tone the bevel a bit down, but to be honest, i like it as it is at the moment. and the border... i just can't get rid of it... i really tried hard, but that is the best result I could geet out of this... (i don't say it wouldn't be possible!)
chiquita chad: what do u mean exactly? i wasn't sure what crop meant, so i tried google again... and he tells me the german word for grain.. very usefull *g* ....perhaps it means sth like cut out? do u mean the borders,too? i think i gonna redo the whole thing perhaps. in a higher resolution... and scale it down later...

To kill the border, try doing load selection on the main layer, then select > contract; contract by 1 or 2 pixels, then select > inverse and push delete

the upper right i like the best.
as for the buttons, i'd try and see if you could make a lcd pannel somewhere (possibly retractable) for them... i don't think they'll show up well on the metal surface. PhotoFx -[=]-"Visual forms are not inherent in themselves, but are granted by the act of seeing..." -Trevor Goodchild |

Very nice, Would be nice if you had a way to change the styles like color themes! play Buttons should be in the display w/any other buttons you need to add functionality to slide out on a drawer or somethin.

I think you should make the corners rounded at the right side. |

that would be my suggestion...its too thin for the effects youre using, better to just get rid of it. but its really slick looking and the display has huge promise

Hi! That's a really good theme for a skin, like that. Although, the name claw fits to the design, and the effort to make a minimalistic skin is evident, it is small a bit. I'd change the shape a bit and find the place for the control elements, play a bit with the LCD. Btw, the idea of the drawer is nice

hehehe... which edges? reflection or whole shape?
@ all who mean i should "learn how to crop my images": perhaps u should FIRST explain, what u mean with "crop" as i don't know the word. i hope i don't have to tell that one more time again. i thought the first time should have been enough.

ah, sorry
yes by crop we mean take out the borders these images you are posting are like these really big pictures, and half of them are just some texture you like to put the skin over. Not the most welcome thing for us on dialup. ![]() |

Well, it would be very nice (in my opinion) if the claw was a bit more compact, I mean if the LCD was not cut into it but if the claw was nice rounded wit some glass covering it (LCD) to make it look like a compact claw with a built in LCD, he?

He, sorry... Leave it as it is. I'll inform you when I will be able to express my feelings in a more understandable way
![]() In any case, if you want to put your control elements into the drawer, try to play with its shape a bit, because now it looks like an ordinary Thinger or EQ drawer. E.g. I'd change its background to make it look different than the LCD ... P.S.: Forgive me my undesribeable ideas ![]() |
