A little help?

caz · 25th October 2001, 17:00

Heres a sample of the project im currently working on, i've decided to new a 'non-pic' skin as most of you seem to hate em :P its the first one i've ever done.
Any ideas on how to make it better? its far from unfinished but I just wanted a little feedback from you guys. :P thx

bobo · 25th October 2001, 17:17

ooh looks very nice. might want some less huge amount of black glow around your buttons tho

caz · 25th October 2001, 17:44

Heres a look at yet another project, lol.
This is a pic-skin so it might not be to everyones taste but I could use a little feedback on this one too :P

skinme! · 25th October 2001, 17:56

Both look great, especially Zelda Amp. Is Zelda Amp just a working title? I think you should at least drop the "amp" bit because it sounds like Aardvark which is annoying!

caz · 25th October 2001, 18:01

Yea, i'd say its a workin title (not very good with names :P)
and I agree, the 'Amp' bit is a little annoying...any ideas for a new name?

skinme! · 25th October 2001, 18:07

Which Zelda is it based on? Perhaps Tri-Star or something game-related (PS: Never played it but I seem to recall something about triangles in it

)

Does that mean it's "close to being finished"?

Forevever · 25th October 2001, 19:43

Looks like Majora's mask. no comment yet on it.
I like the first one, looks good.

SuPeYDuUeY · 25th October 2001, 19:59

arg! what is it with people and not labeling their buttons?!?
'tis my new pet peave
hey! I see you! stop laughing at me!

err...umm...anywayz

they're both nice, except the 3 buttons on the right side of the first one

oh well...I guess there's not enough room on those to label them...so's...umm...yeah...

so, basicaly, what I'm saying is, "I like them."
okies...I'm done

KiwiFreak · 25th October 2001, 22:22

I like the dot matrix thing you've got going on....good stuff & keep us updated.

Ciao

Yay...50 Posts!!!

caz · 25th October 2001, 23:45

Ummm, yea :P I meant its far from finished....um thanx for beign so observant...I think :P

Btw dont forget that I haven't even tried labelling the shuff and rep buttons yet..its still being worked on :P

I'll be posting an update soon (for both, if i have enough time)

oh and by the way the zelda game is: Zelda - Oracle Of Seasons

caz · 26th October 2001, 02:31

Hey :P
Heres a small update on the 'noname' skin that i've started, I took a screen while winamp was running so I could show you how I finally designed the shuff and rep buttons. They 'open' when you click on em...
any feedback?

Mr. Bojanglez · 26th October 2001, 03:46

they are tooo simple for me-say

Forevever · 26th October 2001, 04:11

working on two skins at once? geez..
I love the white one.

pukkaboy · 26th October 2001, 09:25

mmm, I like the white one. Especially the newer screen. You might wanna change the eject button on the zelda one. It looks out of place to me. Nice work

caz · 1st November 2001, 19:46

I,ve done quite a bit more to 'the skin with no name' lol, although its changed a lot...lol maybe none of you will like it anymore :P
I thought it needed toning down so thats just what i did

caz · 2nd November 2001, 00:09

hmmm...maybe its just me or, none of you seem to be bothered bout answerin my post lol..anyway, i've completed the main and eq (well maybe, jus depends)
what do u guys think bout it so far?
any suggestions?
do ya think its better than the original?

Forevever · 3rd November 2001, 02:29

caz, don't fret.
I know how you feel about the posting. I recently went through something similar and I wish I had more feedback because I hated the end result.
Regardless, in the last 48 hours I've come to my own realization about lack of posts to my threads (which you should not be complaining about, you got tons of replies in this thread).
Anyway, I started this job yesterday morning, first thing I got up and was completely exhausted. Came here and wanted to comment but even though I'd had 2 cups of coffee already and about 5 cigs in less than half an hour, I was still not functioning enough to form a coherant (sp?) thought. So I closed the window and figured I'd try again after work. Yeah so, day goes by and I'm feeling pretty ok, and as soon as I got home, I realized how exhausted I was. Again, popping in here for only a moment, and doing my best to form a thoughtful response... failed miserably. So I went to bed early, got a good 9 hours of sleep, woke up this morning (still tired) but true to my word (promised Jax I'd look at his new skin), spent half an hour here and managed to get out one post. Tonight, again, I'm exhausted.. but I'm also in pain (freaking rain/arthritis), so I can't sleep and am forced to find some online entertainment. Which is the ONLY reason you're getting this response.

Point being, some of us are working, in school, just plain too tired, or in pain? to give you a comment on every single update.

Good one by the way. But I said that already. I have no suggestions, keep going, and relax, we'll get to you and if we don't, use that as motivation to do something even more fabulous next time that has no chance of escaping our attention. Even in a lethargic state.

P.S. I thought you were working on the white one. This doesn't look anything like the white one. They look like two totally different skins. I still like the white one better, but the new one isn't bad either.

_Blackdog_ · 3rd November 2001, 05:30

hey dumbass, no one here has any obligation to help you with your skin, yet they have. so maybe they dont want to comment on every little change you make. so what? that doesn't give you the right to start bitching. you're are not god's gift to winamp.com and no one has to help you. make your skin on your own

BullGawD · 3rd November 2001, 05:41

hey dumass, lay off the name calling.

Namelessv1 · 3rd November 2001, 05:47

Nice skin, but it seems to be missing something.

PeaceMaker · 3rd November 2001, 06:03

the white one looked more original

Nini · 3rd November 2001, 11:32

I like your skin, anyways I also think it's missing something, in my opinion you should place a logo between the eq bars and do something about the main titlebar...it's looking a bit empty

But good work!

Heres a suggestion that I hope you take, tone down this kind of reply, apologise for the flames you started, or find yourself removed from here on a permanent basis.

Consider yourself warned.

Your call hotshot.

SuPeYDuUeY · 4th November 2001, 03:22

I liked the white one better, but the new one is still good

although the EQ is quite boring - there's a lot of empty space

Ch33zels · 4th November 2001, 03:32

cool, i liked it better when it was white and stuff tho

_Blackdog_ · 5th November 2001, 00:13

yes i am sorry for my outburst. i was in "an altered state" at the time, if you know what i mean

i still dont like the way this guy got mad that no one would respond to his thread when he already had gotten about 15 responses.

i apologize, but remind cazuis that no one has to help him, and when he gets help, he should be thankful, not upset that he didn't get more help.

Neko · 5th November 2001, 00:38

its simple, your right, nobody does have to help anyone else, but people do not come to a forum unless they want help over something, but in the end, those that stay help others in kind for them helping in the past, thats the idea of community, , if the designer chooses to take the comments offencivly and get angry, then he or she will suffer the consequences when it comes to needed others help in the future, as nobody is willing to help people when they fear there comments are not taken constructively, the way i see it, you can either say its good, and let the designer know hes doing a great job, or be "Constructively" critical of the deisgn, and suggest ways in which it may be improved, however, at the end of the day, its the designer whome makes the descisions, the rest of us act meerly as quides, arguing about it will no make the skin get finnished any quicker, and neather will telling the designer the work is of low standard (jasonl) in a way which makes the designer upset to the point of ditching the skin.

take heed of mr Jones's warning, and if he ban's you, please dont come back crying about how it was an 'injust' ban, as nobody is banned without reason, if a reason exists enough that you be banned, accept it and dissapear into the vast sea's of the surfable net

p.s. and if thats not enough, my cats just had kittens! yey for yeow yeow!

caz · 7th November 2001, 20:20

Thanks for replying...I want to apologise for bitchin about you guys not replyin, guess I was in a bad mood or somethin on that day.
Well thanks for the crticism, I agree with you about the eq...i was tryin the other day to find a pic of some cogs or somethin like that to put in the space between the eqbars, try an make em look as if they wehere 'inside' the skin (if you know what I mean :P) anyway, i looked around for a while but couldn't find any, any of you got a link to a good clipart site? if not i'll jus have to think of somethin else..

Once again, sorry for the way I acted.

Forevever · 8th November 2001, 01:19

LOL Caz, did you intentionally post at 4:20pm?
How bout an update? Hows the skin coming? It's been days...

jasonl · 8th November 2001, 06:38

Rusty. It seems that a lot of people have been using tis effect to make their skins look better - including me.

Soon, although it has made your skin kick-ass now, people may get bored of it. Rust is a cool effect, and there's always to much of a good thing. Personally, I think you should make your skin really stylish, like futuristic or something.

But then again, no-one takes me seriously anymore, so I dont blame you for ignoring my raving.

caz · 11th November 2001, 00:19

well, im sort of coming to the desicion to drop this skin and start working on another, basically because im stuck on how to improve it, and it looks pretty boring (in my opinion) so, unless I can think of some ideas pretty fast...its gone, although I wish it wasn't lol
