New skin: Pixelpusher

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 19:01

I didn't steal the name from Tac-Man. I honestly just did this this morning and read Tac-Man's post before posting this. Honest coincidence. Name suggestions are welcome, but I prefer the name 'Pixelpusher.'

Like Tac-Man, I'm trying to score with originality in this one, but I'm going for aesthetics, too.

Inspired by Connect-X! It's skinme!, not skinyou!!

And in fact, this is a thread for two: Pixelpusher, and Nuclear Memory 2.

Out of pure greed, I decide Pixelpusher shall get the first post.

Suggestions welcome. Colour suggestions, too. Maybe that blue is weird.

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 19:02

Nuclear Memory II.

Again, suggestions welcome.

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 19:09

Oops. I read the rest of Tac-Man's thread. Okay. Maybe 'Pixelpusher' is outta the question. Name suggestions! Yagh!

_Blackdog_ · 1st September 2002, 19:11

i wouldn't use the name pixelpusher. its the name of a former forum member. here's his website:
http://pixelpusher.freeservers.com/W...troduction.htm
its also the name of a site for gfx/html tuts
http://pixelpusher.com

even if you did think of it on your own, i wouldn't use it.

about the skin... its interesting, but i can't say its my style. and nm2 looks cool

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 19:19

Okay, any name suggestions? Preferably something with 'pixel' in it. lol.

Mr_Tough_Guy · 1st September 2002, 19:38

it certainly looks different, reminds me of those old 8 bit games, love the colours

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 19:49

It's a Lego-Reminiscent piece of retro-art.

skinme! · 1st September 2002, 21:26

gorgeous. i can see some c-x influences but i think it's much more. It's funky and i want it. I think you should call it spixelise. coz i rule your thought processes. and i have dirt on you.

nuc mem2 looks good too... i'm really into the first one though and at the mo i can concentrate on two different ideas. sue me for $gazillions

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 22:05

Spixelize or Spixelise? I think it's a 'z.' "Pixelize."

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 22:36

The EQ bars look messy.

Suggestions?

Cleanup · 1st September 2002, 22:44

Ah! The almighty Cleanup has solved it! By moving the EQ display a pixel higher, he sacrifices functionality for aesthetics! Though it's still functional!

Our hero saves the day again! Woo-hoo!

flatmatt · 1st September 2002, 23:27

Hey, that's nice. Fairly unique, too. Good colors. Short senetences. Yeah.

e-raser · 2nd September 2002, 02:05

its looking great, why not go crazy with an alpha-mask, have transperent pixils at the edges, like the logo of xerox, with the "X" going blocky at one point, just have the blocks sculpted out with the alpha blend

Cleanup · 2nd September 2002, 02:53

Ahm, that sounds like something Photoshop-ish.

I think the break up of the border wouldn't go to will with the skin. Lack of a border makes for a messy skin. Like Visional Memory.

dude883 · 2nd September 2002, 04:35

hey, not bad! will definetly download it when it's finished!

not in santiago · 2nd September 2002, 04:40

You should have made "Spixelized" a few months ago. It reminds me of a summer in Santa Barbara: colourful and plasticky.

If plasticky isn't what you were going for, then perhaps tone down the light yellow and light blue highlights. I like your font choice, but the size makes it a bit difficult to read.

Nuclear Memory II looks alright, but I think I like Nuclear Memory better at this point. Myself, I don't like skins with small buttons because they make a mockery of my lack of coordination.

Still, I'm glad you kept the light green colour scheme (I'm not completely sold on the orange, though). The titlebars seem too narrow to me, but do I like the two oddly shaped borders in the main.

Cleanup · 2nd September 2002, 14:09

Alright, what if I got rid of the transparency and made the Main and EQ of NMII like the PL and MB?

Jellby · 2nd September 2002, 16:41

Do you still accept name suggestions? Here's mine: Pixelpiece.

Nice skin, by the way

skinme! · 2nd September 2002, 19:55

spixelise - 'coz I'm British.

and e-raser: what? are you thinking about wa3?

e-raser · 2nd September 2002, 20:28

nope, i'm talking about alpha transperancy for winamp 2

_Blackdog_ · 2nd September 2002, 21:04

there is no alpha transparency for wa2

Tac-Man · 2nd September 2002, 22:14

heh. just got back from outa town for a few days...

running into the same name problems I see...hmm

Pixel power? pixelmatic? pixly?

hmmm...maybe I should save the best names for my self :b

hey! you mean mine doesn't look good

Cleanup · 2nd September 2002, 22:52

Hehe.

Working Main Window! Who wants a .wsz?! Screenie comes first.

Cleanup · 2nd September 2002, 22:53

Any bugs other than the PlayPaus sonuvabitch, notify me in this thread.

Tac-Man · 2nd September 2002, 23:21

hmmm...lesse...

no inactive clutterbar, and the winshade mode has the shared pixel bug.

since it looks like you are gonna use transparancy on the top anyways, I would just blacken that out an fix it

skinme! · 2nd September 2002, 23:25

Cleanup: that's the transparent main ws trick I was telling you about.

Hmm... I like. But then it is Connect-X rewrapped

(jus' kidding ya)

I know how to do it, Bruce.

What? Inactive clutterbar? There's an inactive clutterbar?

The clutterbar is that OAIDU thing.

Tac-Man · 3rd September 2002, 00:32

yeah there is

check the display properties and uncheck the always display clutterbar tab...it should give you a blank white spot where your clutterbar is whenever you aren't pressing buttons on it.

Ya learn something new everyday cleanup

oh and the bottom letter is sposed to be a V for visualization.

Cleanup · 3rd September 2002, 01:11

How do I skin an inactive clutterbar?!

I know I've done it before. Now I forgot.

Tac-Man · 3rd September 2002, 01:23

ok...to the right of the top one, make another clutterbar...um...bar.

thats the inactive state.
I think its in the skinners atlas too, I don't remember for sure off the top of my head.

Felon. · 3rd September 2002, 11:41

Pixelocity is a name that comes to mind.

incorrect! there is an alpha transparancey plugin floating around, it doesn't do alpha-blending though (actually, it might, i can't remember). i don't think it's at winamp.com though.

skinme! · 3rd September 2002, 20:16

But not natively - don't be so predantic bh

Cleanup, the name's skinme! k.

BlueBalls · 4th September 2002, 04:48
