new wa3 skin: AurigaV3 beta :)

kinwashi · 2nd May 2001, 02:41

just updated for alpha6. only main window so far, working on the rest, comments and feedback welcomed!

schweitn · 2nd May 2001, 03:51

WOW - That is a very excellent skin.

This is the best example of a clean, cool, and ever day usable skin I've seen so far.

The rest I've seen from guys like RhinoTrip are great free-form skin examples, but I don't think I could use them day to day. This one I could when its done.

I haven't downloaded it yet... Is the Windowshade mode done yet?

BTW - You should really post it to Deskmod and then update it as you get more done!

Keep up the great work

Lepre41 · 2nd May 2001, 04:24

yeah, sweet skin. I hope the rest of it looks as cool as the screenshot you've got there.

ImJesus666 · 2nd May 2001, 04:42

and a kick ass song. Skin is dammn good looking .. very clean and good layout.

kinwashi · 2nd May 2001, 05:54

thanks for your comments! I've added winshade mode now, and changed the menus. here's a screenshot:

will · 2nd May 2001, 06:27

yeah, really like it, a very useable yet cool skin. just one thing tho', the crossfade, shuffle and repeat buttons arn't obvious. This doesnt matter much to me as i set these things then leave them. otherwise a wonderful skin!

a-arse · 2nd May 2001, 07:10

Nice Skin.

RhinoTrip · 2nd May 2001, 10:25

Very nice. ooh, the eject button is so sexy... everything is very well organized. The x-fade, rep and shuf buttons are a bit too small though, I think. Even the context menu is classy.

jezz- · 2nd May 2001, 12:11

looks sweet, love the playback controls, greatly anticipating playlist etc...

thx kinwashi

safti · 2nd May 2001, 12:28

this is skin the shit !!

gimme eq gimme pe gimme ml gimme now....

schweitn · 2nd May 2001, 13:07

Doh - Found a bug with the skin:

If you have the "clock" show the amount of time REMAINING in the song (you can do this by clicking on the time by the way) then it cuts off the last digit of the seconds (presumably because of the minus sign).

You should just have to shift the text over a little and be ok. This only happens in Normal mode - looks fine in windowshade mode.

Otherwise, looks fantastic, looking forward to the rest of the skin!

Pete2K · 2nd May 2001, 13:08

Looks really great!

But what I see that many skinners are locked up to the original size of Winamp2. So just try experimenting with size a bit more, go all out, but none of that tree resembling skin.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with that. The original size, etc of WA2 is very good. But what he has done is to take the original workable size and play around with the play control buttons, etc in a very cool way which you could not do with WA2 because of the skin limitations.

Personally I like this type of skin since playing mp3's is always secondary on my computer. I play them when I code, when I write, when I check email. So the Windowshade mode is VERY important because that's what it will look like 90% of the time.

kinwashi · 2nd May 2001, 13:51

thanks schweitn, clock will be fixed with the next update (that will also include the playlist)

and about the format of the skin, it's just because i like it that way... and i like to dock the playlist, main window and equalizer, and that usually don't look very pretty with freeform skins... but who knows, maybe in my next skin ;-)

a-arse · 2nd May 2001, 15:21

Another bug:

The minumum volume is "008" amd the maximum is "1008" or "888" depending on...something.

D&B · 2nd May 2001, 20:18

That is seriosly the coolest WA3 skin so far, besides boxor

e_Julius · 2nd May 2001, 20:30

I love this skin. I think more of the wa3 skins should look more like the original winamp shape. Good job on this skin, kinwashi.

SNYder · 2nd May 2001, 21:05

omg!!!!!!!!! I love this skin! I've been using the originally Winamp 2.x version of it for months now and I'm stoked I get to use an even better version in WInamp 3. You kick major ass, man! Keep up the great work!

Jeskar · 2nd May 2001, 21:57

Are you sure you're not confusing the percent sign for an 8? The volume seems to work perfectly fine for me, but I did have to take a second look to make sure it was set to 100% and not 1008.

Jeskar · 2nd May 2001, 22:59

Auriga Original

Auriga Augmented
Auriga GreyBlue
Auriga BrightBue

Auriga Augmented, GreyBlue, and BrightBlue weren't made by the original author. (even though you could just as easily read that info in the next post. ; )

kinwashi · 2nd May 2001, 23:03

the rest are rips

not only that, some idiot wrote a comment to my skin saying that MY skin was a rip.

Bigal00004 · 3rd May 2001, 02:26

Great skin probalby one of the best skins for wa3 so far. I like the way it looks sort of like WA2, but some things are moved around a little.

Curi0us_George · 3rd May 2001, 03:32

I think it's an absolutely beautiful skin. It will become my default skin as soon as the rest of the components are skined.

bluekeydesign · 3rd May 2001, 06:05

i like the glass alpha layer over the info part of the main player.

Jeskar · 3rd May 2001, 06:59

Just out of curiousity, what program did you use to make your images? I'm interested in the glass, in particular, since I can't seem to make any transparencies work for the skin I'm working on.

Well, I can't seem to delete this post, but I figured out what I was doing wrong about two minutes after posting it. Sorry for taking up your time.

kinwashi · 3rd May 2001, 07:11

jeskar:
I've used photoshop 6.0, works great!

and to the rest of you:
thanks for all the comments! the components stuff (playlist etc) is almost done, I'll post an update when i've fixed the last things

i can't wait

this is one beutiful skin so far. i hope i like the rest of the components as much.

WarpFlyght · 3rd May 2001, 23:40

Nice successor to your original Auriga skin. I have it installed for Winamp2x, and it was my default for months (until I retired it and replaced it with my new pet skin... namely my own). I like the fact that the proportions are so similar to Winamp2x's, because frankly, I prefer that funky rectangle to anything else!

Keep up the good work.

Doggy Dog · 4th May 2001, 17:00

Yeah, Auriga is beautiful (though that Ramon bastard thinks it's a rip

), and this is even more beautiful.
btw. WarpFlyght, why don't you put a link to your skin,so that the rest of the world can see it.

NZRob · 7th May 2001, 10:46

hey man just a thought for the buttons that everyone is saying are to small. why not incorperate them into that cool spine shape at the top of the main window as then it would keep the lovey look to the skinn with making them clearer.
Can't wait for the full skin!!!!!

kinwashi · 7th May 2001, 15:15

I've updated AurigaV3, it now has an equalizer (both normal and winshade), although I haven't been able to get the right color for the EQ spline yet. I've also made some minor changes to the main window in winshade mode. A halfdone playlist is there too, looks a bit weird but I'm too lazy to remove it right now

Download it here!

-[WonderBlood]- · 7th May 2001, 16:00

Rocks!!

YtseJam · 7th May 2001, 16:02

Awsome

Wish I could use it now... but I'm waiting for alpha 7...

why? What is there gonna be in alpha 7 that 6 doesn't have?

YtseJam · 7th May 2001, 19:40

alpha 6E is soooo slow for me, donno why... so I'm hoping that with alpha 7, it'll be better... so I'm waiting, I got patience..

( spelling? English aint my langauge... )

Doggy Dog · 7th May 2001, 20:23

Don't get it, I have Celeron 300A, 64 MB RAM, and Riva TNT, and alpha 6 runs fine for me, hmmm, only that there are problems with loading multiple files in the playlist (they are shown as if they have no lenght 0:00), some skins don't work, and loading skins and Winamp is a bit slow, but the rest is OK.

The skin is wonderful, simple but nice, worthy of W2 Auriga !!!

DJ ROACH · 7th May 2001, 20:50

i think nat is alking about loading the playlist
i got gigs an gigs and gigs of songs.
take a geuss at how long it takes to load just 4000 songs!
