a new skin: boxini

kiilu · 14th February 2004, 15:10

hey guys what do you think of this skin?again i did it with paint... i'm thinking whether people will get sick with the minimalistic skins that i've done... and i think i should have a logo saying kiilu to be put on every skin but i can't make one... anyone can help?

Since it looks like functionality is very important to you, you should include the three db 'buttons' on the eq (12db, 0db, -12).

....also, you should include the clutterbar

"Mode" just seems to be sitting there by itself in its own box doing nothing - I think you should make the "mode" bit and the "Stereo" bit all in one box.

I don't see why the on/auto buttons should be so tiny

I don't think it's a good idea to make the "repeat" button so wide. I mean, if you press the left side of the button, it will work, but if you press the middle, it won't do anything. And if you press the right side, it will open up the "about" or ML window. That's just bad skinning, I'm afraid (as far as the "repeat" button is concerned, that is).

The ML looks naked and disorganised without any dividers, header borders or lines in inside it.

I agree with dlinkwit23 about the PL stacks, though it's not a big deal

I think it's a nice design. My main complaint, though, is the large border areas (if you know what I mean). I'd personally like to see it without the borders, even if it means losing a couple titlebar buttons.

lol, oops

I was writing my comments about this skin in notepad while looking at the screenshot, and I wrote the 23 in from memory. I was going to double-check it later when I returned to the forum page, but forgot. From now on, dlink it is

Isn't it a bugger when the keys switch places just as you press them?

Good simplicity and color theme.I like it.
I will surely download, if this will be completed.
Only one criticism is that the color of current song is unclear.

Nice. I like minimalistic skins a lot.

2boobs · 21st February 2004, 04:45

me too... i like what you've been doing... especially you did them with paint...

Nini · 24th February 2004, 21:04

Looking good, but why are the window buttons "hanging in the air" (eg empty grey space)?

BTW, I'm listening to same playlist now

2boobs · 25th February 2004, 07:10

you should change the background cos it'll be hard to make the minimode...
