looks great Victhor. Well done

Thank you so much for this beta, Victhor. You have another hit in the making. It's gets harder and harder to pick a favorite.

[Victhor]

Thanks! Be sure to check the Right click - Visual aids if you need some graphics above the backgrounds when buttons are hard to see.
And any suggestion is welcome. About "bugs" on this one I already see here that my Next button got misplaced when hovering, will fix later. I'm adding "to do list" for better info..

[Aminifu]

This skin provides some new, different and useful, ways to view metadata. I hesitate to call "bugs", the issues I see now. Most are 'fit & finish' type stuff that I assume you just have not got around to yet. I'm still exploring and will hold off on listing what I see until the next release.

This will be a truly great skin when it is finished!

I can't find the skin background pictures. They are not in the skin's wal file or the zip I downloaded from Deviant Art.

Sorry, those are for the final release, have to do some work yet to credit some pictures. On the meantime check these guys :

Hey there Victhor! In the final release, do you planning to put the option that enable people to choose to show the cover box and the cover box glare?

[Victhor]

I was toying with that at first and encountered several troubles with it so I ended up leaving it behind. But yeah, if I can figure it out my intention is to have that "advanced" Now playing (I even have a version PJN left me with a fix for the "non-centered cover", but it was buggy on cPro, maybe is better here... let's see)

Ok, no problem. Although the caution in the read-me file and the post #4 comment above implied there would be some to play around with. I see that the "DESKTOP" option works and "CUSTOM:" opens a Windows folder search dialog. Does this mean that any image can be used in the meantime?

Most of the color themes change the coloring of the default background image or blank it out entirely. Is this intentional or 1 of the things that still needs fixing?

As to the "Visual aids", exactly what are we supposed to see? I don't see any changes when selecting any of the 3 options. Should tooltips be disabled?

Also, which "Next" button are you talking about? I don't see any obvious misplacement of any buttons on any of the panels I've looked at so far.

OT Note:
Did you know that your author's page on the 1001Skins site lists you as "Late skinner" instead of "Victhor"?

Exactly! That's the main charm of this skin! You can choose whatever picture you like. You can choose up to 10 bg that will be saved on the Config page (the 11th is lost).

I wanted to make the background colored, but by the time being I could only make it to the "Default" and "Desktop" ones.

As to the "Visual aids", exactly what are we supposed to see? I don't see any changes when selecting any of the 3 options. Should tooltips be disabled?

Nope, tooltips are unrelated, Visual aids are semi-transparent graphics placed behind buttons and the Playlist+ meant to make it view-able it when the background image makes it hard to see (like white on white, or black on black, see attach example). You should be seeing it..

Also, which "Next" button are you talking about? I don't see any oblivious misplacement of any buttons on any of the panels I've looked at so far.

Was the "prev" button actualy heh..

Haha I've just note it, probably is because of the mods being made on the site. I'll tell Garet just in case.

What is the indicator to the right of the 'equalizer on' indicator on the title bar?

Very cool.

I wanted to make the background colored, but by the time being I could only make it to the "Default" and "Desktop" ones.

This coloring effect works well with some color themes (and images) and not so well with others, imo. Can you make this optional for all backgrounds?

Ok, I see the effect now. Another color theme related thing (useful when more contrast is needed).

Was the "prev" button actualy heh..

Yes, the "prev" arrowhead is not on the same vertical level as the "next" arrowhead. The difference is slight, and since they are not both visible at the same time, I only notice it now that you've pointed it out.

[Victhor]

What is the indicator to the right of the 'equalizer on' indicator on the title bar?

Always on top state! (triggered by the buttons inside the top drawer)

This coloring effect works well with some color themes (and images) and not so well with others, imo. Can you make this optional for all backgrounds?

That's trickier, color theme support on bg will be limited on future versions, having only a set of "colorized backgrounds".
Currently you can bypass the coloring thing by selecting the same bg image as a Custom background on the Config page (you'll find the default one inside the skin's folder)

Hi Victhor,

I really appreciate the work you've put in so far updating this skin. I have enjoyed using it for the past few days and instead of waiting for the next release, I've decided to mention some of the issues I'm having.

1. When the skin is first loaded, the seek bar runs in it's highlight mode (like when you point to it). After I point to it, it then runs normally for the remainder of the session.

2. The songticker scrolling option is enabled, but long song titles are truncated instead of scrolling on both the Now Playing and PL+ cover panels. I use a rather long custom ATF string, so this cuts off most of the title on the PL+ cover panel.

This is less of an issue when running the skin fullscreen. But fullscreen makes some of my artwork look bad (those with low resolution, 300x300 or less). I've been in the process of updating all of my low-res artwork to at least 600x600 (which looks good on my system with this skin in fullscreen mode). All my artwork is embedded in my audio files and I don't use the same image for all the songs in an album, so it is taking a while to find larger images and update all my audio files that need larger images.

3. The Playlist Editor opens in a side panel (which I like) and even-though the "show playlist search" option is enabled, I don't see the search bar.

Also when I switch the SUI to the media library panel, the Playlist Editor side panel closes (it stays open when switching to all the other SUI panels).

4. The artwork reflection(s) on the Now Playing and PL+ cover panels will randomly show the wrong or a corrupted image under the main artwork image after the next song in the playlist starts. It will show the reflected artwork image of the previous song or a corrupted image of current song's artwork.

This error will correct itself eventually (sometimes after a few more songs play and sometimes it takes several more). I can also correct this error if I force a redraw of either panel by switching to another SUI panel and then switching back. So I think this is caused by a timing issue somewhere that's associated with loading the artwork for the next song. Embedded artwork may be causing Winamp to take a little longer to load the images than it takes for separate external images.

I couldn't find the logic that controls the loading these reflected images. But just guessing for the Now Playing panel, I think the "lookagain.setDelay" in the AlbumArt.m (and related AlbumArt.maki) needs to be a little larger. In the Now Playing widget (for use with other cPro skins) it is set to "1000" (like it is in this skin) for cPro 1 version skins and "2000" for cPro 2 version skins. If this panel just needs a little more time to setup the images, maybe a delay value of "1500" will be large enough. I would try this myself, but I still don't know how to compile a 'maki' file.
