Invicta - Skin in progress

razmansix · 18th January 2003, 19:47

Here's a skin I've been working on since yesterday. It's very early in progress but I desided to post it here to get some feedback and ideas on what i've made so far. The text is just working names - I haven't desided what to call the skin yet.

I'm doing the graphics for the fun of it - I can't code it, I have no intension on learning wa3 skin coding just now.

So if I manage to skin all the components and I'm satisfied with the looks of it, I'll eventually look for a coder to code it if someone is interrested.

hammerhead · 18th January 2003, 19:50

Wow.. this is a great skin. I can code it, but since it will not be the only thing, it might take a while.

razmansix · 18th January 2003, 20:08

Sounds cool hammerhead..

Yeah I guess this one needs alot of coding if I deside on having the eq and thinger in drawers sliding out somewhere right?...and how many options and modes I plan to make. I don't want to make this "over-advanced". But Color modes and a few mini-modes would be good.

SNYder · 18th January 2003, 21:59

great photoshop skills. it LOOKS awsome! and the design seems to be off to a great start.

razmansix · 19th January 2003, 01:37

Little display update and a question:

This is just a possible display layout - But I'm not sure if it'll work.

Can I have the songtitle scroll over the entire LDC-area while having the glowing lines on the edge of the lcd pulsate with beat-detection?

JamesGT · 19th January 2003, 01:50

great skin!

if you make a window shade mode in the same style, that would be so awesome!
i hope to see more good work soon

DiEMOS · 19th January 2003, 02:43

looks incredible, just hope u can finish it

Vica · 19th January 2003, 03:53

Loving the skin also, looks like you may have to pull out some genius in order to figure out where to put the shuff/rep/fade and min/shade/close buttons.

Keep at it...

dlinkwit27 · 19th January 2003, 03:59

awesome skin! this will msot def be a DL. color themes should be freakni awesmoe! only suggestion I have is to reduce glare on the play, pause, eject, and stop buttons. As for the shuff/rep/fade and min/shade/close buttons; met thinx that one set could go on the left grey area and the other set on the right.

DesignJunky · 19th January 2003, 04:00

Wow! That looks incredible! I hope you find someone to code it for you.

One comment -- on the exterior pieces, button, glass, etc. the light is shining from directly above, but on the display, the shadow is implying the light is to the side.

Black.Ops · 19th January 2003, 04:12

nice lcd i love the skin

razmansix · 19th January 2003, 04:34

Thanks guys

Vica you're right

I'll sleep on that! I'm too tired right now to make anything serious.

dlinkwit27 and DesignJunky - you're right about the lightning - it needs to be tweaked - but it's very close to how I want it.

Here's a quickshot of the extracted thinger. it's not finished needs buttons here and there...but it gives you the idea. you like?

Bedtime for me now!

dlinkwit27 · 19th January 2003, 04:55

me lieks the blue. did you read my idea for shuf/ect button placement?

killerwibble · 19th January 2003, 05:41

That is niiiiice

QaBOjk · 19th January 2003, 06:34

Amazing!! i love it yo

mc^^^^ · 19th January 2003, 06:55

xanax · 19th January 2003, 08:46

Damn. Great great skin. Beautiful.

mc^^^^ · 19th January 2003, 10:02

Rocker · 19th January 2003, 10:15

0zz · 19th January 2003, 10:17

hammerhead · 19th January 2003, 10:29

hah. what your planning I could code in 1 day. (aside from color themes, that would take more)

razmansix · 19th January 2003, 17:11

That's reasurring hammerhead!

This is made in PS yes - all gradients and good use of layerstyles.

dlinkwit27 · 19th January 2003, 18:18

all gradients! holy moly!

RandomCarpet · 19th January 2003, 18:54

just awesome

Black.Ops · 20th January 2003, 00:08

i love this skin...the only thing i dont like is the name... BLINX...isnt that the name of that xbox cat thing???

DesignJunky · 20th January 2003, 00:25

I think he changed it to Invicta -- that's what it says on the later screenshots. I didn't like Blinx either - Invicta sounds much better.

Plague · 20th January 2003, 00:55

Looks great man!
Looking forward to download it..

whatsitsname · 20th January 2003, 11:46

WOW! that looks sweeeeeeeeet, it sorta looks like some alien technology thats a hundred years ahead of us

PeaceMaker · 20th January 2003, 13:48

the prev & next buttons dont work with the gfx too well, they look stuck on. i'd change them to be more like the other control buttons with the light coming through underneath. not bad on the layout tho

Vibestar · 20th January 2003, 16:15

DMN this is kicking shit man. Pfff this way my skin looks like crap. Vibe

Yes it does...lol

razmansix · 20th January 2003, 17:03

Remember guys that this is nothing but graphics. This skin is nothing untill it's coded and functional. There's still much to be done.

PeaceMaker you're right. I will have to alter those buttons a bit to get a convincing "pressed state" look.

I didn't had much time working on this one yesterday and I'm at work right now so it'll be late night before I can continue with this. I made it a bit wider (not a final decission) but there has to be more room for buttons. The shuf, rep, x-fade is just a test - nothing final.

hammerhead · 20th January 2003, 17:39

cool

Black.Ops · 20th January 2003, 19:44

nice

but i dont really like the things popping out on the side...makes the skin look way worse in my opinion
