Forevever · 16th February 2002, 17:49

Just trying a little something
what think you's? Am I swaying from my typical?

Neko · 16th February 2002, 17:59

the blues too harsh IMHO and it would probably look better without the balls on the component titles, but other then that its lookin good

, love the edges, looks lik dented metalic rock

caz · 16th February 2002, 18:01

Your definately trying something new (but dont take my word for it cos I've only seen a few of your skins) 'swaying from you typical' as you put it :P

It kind of reminds me of pearls on icing

lol does that make sense?

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 18:51

I like the balls - but the ones I used for cbuttons are only temporary - I like the blue too

its staying

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 19:03

ok I can lose the balls

skinme! · 16th February 2002, 20:03

I like the style but I think it would like nice with a earthy / rusty brown texture as the bg. Just a thought - the blue doesn't seem to fit with the rough metal of the edges.

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 20:18

ok, with elements also taken into consideration

Neko · 16th February 2002, 20:27

gotta love Alienskin hair plugins ^_^, though it'll make it harder :\, looks better than the blue however

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 20:34

it shouldn't make it harder but I still prefer the blue so how about this one? and fyi I don't have alien skin plugin - except for the swirl effect, the rest of it is a matter of shading, noise, and dropshadows

Neko · 16th February 2002, 20:42

>_< im sorry, i dont mean to sound like im accusing you of anything, meerly saying that the plugin is nice, creates the same style of effects and such, think ill just post in my own threads from now on.

skinme! · 16th February 2002, 21:00

The second blue one is magic. Literally - it looks like a porthole to another world

caz · 16th February 2002, 21:10

I think that looka a lot better than the single blue colour - the mix of dark shadows and blue looks really good :P

relax man - I was just saying that I did it on my own - why get all huffy for

ok red or blue?

caz · 16th February 2002, 21:14

BLUE BLUE BLUE!!

it looks a lot better - you can see more detail..and everyone likes blue

~Supey · 16th February 2002, 21:39

I prefer the red...to me, the blue makes it look too busy

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 22:44

busy busy busy

skinme! · 16th February 2002, 22:48

I dunno.. I really like the alien scary funky blue but the new one with pink is trendy too. But the pink falls apart on the pl and mb coz it's too straight - you could make it kinda curvy. So either of them and I'm gonna download it. The red just doesn't do it for me.

Forevever · 16th February 2002, 22:49

OR!! if you still like red

caz · 16th February 2002, 22:57

I still like the blue but I dont think the pink contrasts it to well...how bout a brighter blue instead of it?

Ch33zels · 16th February 2002, 23:09

i like both versions, but if i had to choose i'd go with the blue

~Supey · 16th February 2002, 23:09

I really like that red with the dot pattern

it looks really (searches for word but can't find it. sorry:9)

btw, does this mean you're going to finish both versions?

Forevever · 17th February 2002, 00:18

I think I will finish both versions and release them both at the same time
no updates - just got back

- will probably have much more for you in a few hours

Forevever · 17th February 2002, 02:10

do we totally hate the buttons?

_Blackdog_ · 17th February 2002, 02:42

the buttons really don't seem to fit the skin too well. maybe something more wild and abstract like the rest of the skin.

Forevever · 17th February 2002, 05:16

deal! I'll get right on it!

skinme! · 17th February 2002, 09:48

Perhaps if you wanted to continue the magic / alien / scary theme you could have them in green alien goo. That'd be nice - the current ones are nice..... in a different skin.

PeaceMaker · 17th February 2002, 11:43

great skin there.. id make the buttons more translucent. i prefer the blue over the red.. but maybe you could to a green or yellow one too? is the title bar being all metal going to have something done to it.. like some engraved pattern or something?? that would look good

caz · 17th February 2002, 14:04

The blue one looks really great now! :P the pink didnt go too well.
The buttons are ok but dont go with this skin, mayb do them metallic? but emphasize on the blue/red colour scheme with em?
(I dunno, emphasize seems a really big word and I dont know what it means lol)

/me gets dictionary out.

ripe · 17th February 2002, 15:35

arrggg..

so many attachments to d/l, so little time.

it's all good

i'm fond of the more speckled version further up the page
red/blue - either is good for me, but maybe lower the saturation a bit so it's less like a primary colour?

stttafffy · 17th February 2002, 18:12

i liked the one with the metal borders, and the plain blue swirl in the bg. i would think it would be neat if you blurred the bg a littl, make it lok like blue smoke, or something... i dont know. i like it though

Nini · 18th February 2002, 08:43

Very nice Forever

I can't say that I've read everyting in this thread, but here are the ones that caught my eye:

http://forums.winamp.com/attachment.php?postid=481407

Like the blue texture in the BG and the pipes

http://forums.winamp.com/attachment.php?postid=481274

like the balls

http://forums.winamp.com/attachment.php?postid=481434

this shiny metal is not bad too.

Why not make more that 1 version?

I've settled on the shiney one - and I'm only making 2 versions, the red and the blue cause I can't decide which I like better - I love them both equally

I might put the balls back - I'm not sure yet
my main concern at the moment is the cbuttons - nothing I'm doing is working out right or going with the skin yet

will keep at it though

Forevever · 18th February 2002, 19:03

the back button represents the pressed state
I think I may have hit on something permanent here
purely accidental I assure you - I could not recreate these buttons ever

and I'm confident I can make it work - even if I have to make them just slightly smaller
next update will have labels

Forevever · 18th February 2002, 19:05

woohoo - second time I ever forgot to attach

Forevever · 18th February 2002, 20:53

_Blackdog_ · 18th February 2002, 21:17

much better than those other buttons. keep going!

Forevever · 19th February 2002, 11:43

and even better buttons (this skin is going to take Forever to complete)
red and blue version updates attached

skinme! · 19th February 2002, 16:22

Nice buttons. They look awesome.
