Help a newbie.

[Magnusn]

Hi...
I'm making a Tux skin (The linux penguin for you who dont know who it is). And i need to know:
- how to change the colors in the vizualation
- how to toggle the playlist
and
- how to toggle the EQ.

And please come with comments to it.

Thanx

your skin is cool. like it. you can do it this way:

PHP Code:

<vis id="Visual.vis" x="1" y="2" w="104" h="29"
colorbandpeak="190,190,190"
colorallbands="190,190,190"
colorallosc="190,190,190"
/> 


For toggeling the pl you must use this button:

PHP Code:

<togglebutton
  id="pl"
  action="TOGGLE" 
  param="guid:pl" 
  x="68" y="36"
  image="pl"
  hoverimage="pl.hover"
 activeimage="pl.hover"
 tooltip="Playlist Editor"
  rectrgn="1"
/> 


you must make the eq your self. you cannot just toggle it.

Thanks...
But the PL toggle dont work.
What should the param be?
can't be HTML

There's no reason to use blue; the colors of the penguin are already yellow and black. Coordinate.

[Magnusn]

Blue is my favorite color

And i have another problem... Cant make the repeatbutton work.

Do any one see something wrong?

PHP Code:

<togglebutton
   id="Repeat"
   x="28" y="48"
   image="rep"
   downImage="rep.down"
   activeImage="active.rep"
   cfgattrib="{45F3F7C1-A6F3-4EE6-A15E-125E92FC3F8D};Repeat"
   cfgval="2"
   rectrgn="1"
   tooltip="Repeat"
/>

i dun know what is wrong with yours but my button works so use this:

PHP Code:

<togglebutton
    id="Repeat"
    x="304" y="140"
    image="circle.buttons.repeat.normal"
    activeimage="circle.buttons.repeat.hover"
    hoverImage="circle.buttons.repeat.hover"
    downimage="circle.buttons.repeat.normal"
    tooltip="Toggle Repeat"
    rectrgn="1"
    cfgattrib="{45F3F7C1-A6F3-4EE6-A15E-125E92FC3F8D};Repeat"
    cfgval="1"
/>

Thanx. But it still dont work, so i checked on some other skins... It worked on Winamp modern, but not on any other skins i have. So it must be something wrong over here where i'm sitting.

So i will leave the button on the skin.
Even if i can't use it.

param for the playlist: "guid: pl" (remove the space)

[carlosp]

hehehehehe just saw my post.(hahahaah) I didn´t use html but the vBscript transformed my xml to that html funny, funny!!!!!!

[Magnusn]

So here i post again...
Something I need to add, ya think?

I think i'm gonna start with the WinShade now.

[UUL]

shuffle and crossfade button?

[Magnusn]

thanks
forgot

[UUL]

np

[Magnusn]

I shall make the Shuf and X-fade -buttons now...
And i have added colorshemes: Normal [the normal one], Grey [just made it grey] and old fashion [Old kinda Yellow]

I'm posting the WinShade...
What ya think?

[Magnusn]

Nah...
I'm uploading this skin now...
starting a new one :P

[neoflox]

ehm, ths skin looks nice, but why don't you use any anti-aliasing? shall it look that much like KDE?? then you could do a classic skin - it is easier to code

[Magnusn]

I'm new to graphics to. :P
I painted most of the winshade and the play-buttons by hand, pixel by pixel *arrgh thats boring*. so i didn't anti alias it.

And I couldn't upload it.
Forgot to skin the PL *Arrgh*

Is it needed to have Eq to be approved?

[neoflox]

I would say yes - it is needed. though the most people would be satisfied with simple "bass" and "tremble" adjusters, we love to see those 10 (11) sliders with a smooth wave form

[Magnusn]

I will use as much anti-aliasing on the pl as possible

[Magnusn]

I am getting really tired making this skin...
And i have a idea of a new one. Gonna use some MAKI to make a killer interface too

So i'm abandoning the project...

[neoflox]

h3h3 - let us know what the new thingy is about

[Magnusn]

Ok..
Here is what i have put to gether.
[edit]Something wrong with my host or something.
Img didn't show up[/edit]

not a bad start point. but it think i needs allot of tuning lol. keep working on them buttons and display, unless thats the look youre going for.
