new skin : Aeschere

iPlayTheSpoons · 6th December 2002, 02:00

well, time to get goin on the next one...i drew up this plan a while ago, and just photoshopped it. whatdya thing?

G1X · 6th December 2002, 02:15

I enjoy this skin, but have one suggestion. How about cutting out that blue area at the bottom right, where it looks like the thinger is going?? and make that just transparent. Make the gray area in the upper right extend up as the thinger when a button is pressed. I just think that may improve the shape. Great start though!

kingo'mountain · 6th December 2002, 13:55

id suggest you to make the thinger area as a complete shape instead of half a shape if you know what i mean, well, mirror the thinger area, if its more understandable

Vibestar · 6th December 2002, 15:21

the thinger area looks fine. It's a nice skin but not my style sorry!!!
Keep up your work. Maybe one day U make something i like..
Vibe

iPlayTheSpoons · 10th December 2002, 05:10

an update here. i redid the LCD, i just didnt like the other one. changed the thinger area a bit to make it more part of the skin...maybe?

ezkiel · 10th December 2002, 05:22

its an imporovement, work a lil more on the buttons, itll be nice

ezkiel · 10th December 2002, 05:23

btw im talkin about the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons, the others are nice

try putting the ^_x buttons closer together.

thepyr0x · 10th December 2002, 18:34

Also try to make the ^_X buttons not look like theire popping out and floating on the skin...

RandomCarpet · 19th December 2002, 17:29

it looks awesome so far, i would only suggest to reduce the number of sections in the lcd, think it's rather divided right now

good work iPlayTheSpoons

j0ck3 · 19th December 2002, 21:51

I agree with RandomeiCarpit. The skin needs more work but you'll get ther.

iPlayTheSpoons · 19th December 2002, 22:29

oohhh, quick reply in the forums now...cool. ummm, about the lcd...would it work better if everything was inline? cuz i actually have plans for every section (they will all have some sort of function) or connect them all...or what?

ezkiel · 19th December 2002, 23:09

fix the close, minimize, and winshade buttons, and the left/right thinger buttons, they dont fit with the others, and i like the others, so make them like that, and thats my 2 cents

iPlayTheSpoons · 19th December 2002, 23:13

ya, ive already changed em actually...i need to post a new screen sooner or later

iPlayTheSpoons · 22nd December 2002, 22:55

heres a new shot, and i think i got all the suggestions incorperated...exept i like the LCD way too much. ok, what do you think?

Bjorn Franzon · 23rd December 2002, 12:55

hehe... when I saw your skin I thought it reminded me about something, but couldn't figure out what.
But now I know!
The handle to a chainsaw! Can you see the resemblance, or is it just me?

It looks great though, so keep up the good work!

iPlayTheSpoons · 23rd December 2002, 19:50

ok, so should i keep goin with that skin, or switch over to this new one i drew up last night? (attatched)....or both? oh ya, the big screen thing will be toggle-able, so dont let that mean too much

iPlayTheSpoons · 28th December 2002, 08:44

first beta:

despite the influx of enthusiasm (its late, dont mind my spelling) lately for this, ive descided to go ahead and post what work ive done do far...still left to do are the eq sliders (animated stuff, blech), the standard frame, and ironing out some wrinkles, shade mode, blahhh...or something like that. id just love to get some feedback on this, see what you like to see changed

aeschere_beta_1.wal (266k)

dlinkwit27 · 28th December 2002, 20:06

Sweet, a beta! I'll play around w/ it and get back to ya.

/goes off to play w/ his new beta

dlinkwit27 · 28th December 2002, 20:13

Possible Bugs / Things that need fixed / Suggestion

1. Left thinger scroll only works a the very bottom of teh button
2. (suggestion) Is is possible to but the playlist in a drawr like teh EQ?
3. The timer display is broke for sogns logner than 9:59
4. Whats that blue space gonig to be next to the timer? /edit: of, vis, sry

Thats it for now!

/edit. 5. (suggestion) Why not put the vis where the thinger is and make thinger its own window? Most people don't like being able to see only oen thinger icon at a time, and when u make it go away there is just a blank space (which I don't like) so get rid of thinger there, make it perm vis space, and then you can make the song ticker and volume longer.

hammerhead · 28th December 2002, 22:12

This is looking pretty good, Iplaythespoons! Can I make some color themes?

dlinkwit27 · 28th December 2002, 23:12

HH, since iplay ahsn't responded, do you think my comments are valid and/or worth looking into?

1. Left thinger scroll only works a the very bottom of teh button

This is a valid point, I myself am having problems with it.

Quote:

2. (suggestion) Is is possible to but the playlist in a drawr like teh EQ?

That would be cool, but desktopalpha does not work with the components.

Quote:

3. The timer display is broke for sogns logner than 9:59

The most valid. What about us people who watch stuff on our laptops on journeys?

Hope I've answered your questions, obviously I have not much influence of what will happen with them as it is not my skin.
-HH

iPlayTheSpoons · 29th December 2002, 02:06

heyyy. glad to see im getting some feedback (having a pic server helps, i think). anyways...to adress what happened:

the thinger thing...its cuz the volume animation is on top of it, just the transperent part...and if i make it ghost you can change the volume...if anyone knows how to make part of a png ghost thatd be helpful. i have no idea why the timer is doing that, maybe i just need to move it over to the right?

and for the suggestions: ill do that thing with the playlist, make it interchangable i spose though some sort of menu. i kinda like the thinger how it is, but i will probably make an external window for it too.

and to hammer head : id love to see some color themes for this, but you cant yet...i havnt assigned the gammagroups...on the next beta ill have it set up for colors

dlinkwit27 · 29th December 2002, 18:27

As for my suggestions...feel free to leave it as it is. It's your skin. I just rememebred another thread where people bitched about seeing only one thinger item in windows. IDK what HH meant by the desktop alpha doesn't work w/ components, but I think that means the PL has to either be square or a seperate window. I'm not sure. Looking forward to a beta!

It means even if the skin has desktopalpha enabled and the user has win2k/xp that the edges of the skin can't be smoothed. An example of this is mmd3, it does not have smoothing because it has the color themes in a window.

dlinkwit27 · 29th December 2002, 21:34

oh

iPlayTheSpoons · 29th December 2002, 21:54

i figure why not take the suggestion if theyre easy enough too implement. i hadnt really thought about the playlist in a slider thing, and it could prove to be quite the bitch, both becaue of the DTA thing and that there isnt mch room in the drawer to work with...might have to forget that one, oh well

hammerhead · 29th December 2002, 22:02

A resizable drawer? Apparently frisbeemonkeys cracked them.

iPlayTheSpoons · 29th December 2002, 22:04

good idea, but i was thinking more height...and if im gunna do both, might as well just have a seperate window without any headaches

hammerhead · 29th December 2002, 22:23

Yeah, and anyway we need desktop alpha. Any updates?

iPlayTheSpoons · 30th December 2002, 09:23

working on the standard frame...

dlinkwit27 · 30th December 2002, 17:13

coolness

/twiddles thumbs in waiting room...

dlinkwit27 · 1st January 2003, 18:08

updates? *bump*

iPlayTheSpoons · 1st January 2003, 20:33

uhoh...
ive signed on as the coder for another skin (experiment/beast) by flipper, so this might have to sit on the back burner for a little while. i do have a sketch for the standard frame, but not on this machine. ill post that later

dlinkwit27 · 2nd January 2003, 00:48

oh, ok

[sidenote] have seen the experiment, would rather have this skin first, but o well....

RephaiM · 12th January 2003, 07:55

I think if you reworked the idea a little for the bored one you drew up that could be cool too, and beast is pretty much finished, right?

iPlayTheSpoons · 12th January 2003, 08:05

oi, so many skins...so little time!! the beast is getting pretty close to completion...really just the standard frame left, i think. however, ive just started coding another skin (a secretive project, but i think everyone will be pleased

) which im very excitied about, and about 1/4 of the way done. after all that is done, im gunna get back to aeschere here, and if nothing else comes along i wanna do the bored thing too. all this with school/work/skinning kazaa (

), but itll all get done some day

RephaiM · 12th January 2003, 08:31

busy is good though... it keeps you on your toes.
