Winamp 5 Single UI

[steve]

Hey Guys,

I spent some time mocking up a version of the Winamp skin that's a single UI, i.e. no separate Windows.

Anyway, we'd love to have anyone in the community who has the time to actually build this skin.

Here's are some mocks of what the skin would look like.

Any takers?

It's a good idea

[carlosp]

that is pretty easy. just make seperate layouts and give them the ids which are needed. i think only a little bit xml and some bits maki maybe.

The library mode looks good but how about make the library window swapable with video/vis windows and put the equaliser in place of the video window.

nice idea

@ sanosuke: see one thread above yours

Sure

I've wanted to do something like this for a while, but dont have the graphic skills to pull it off. Does this mean I have nullsoft permission to use modern skin graphics? do you just want it built into the modern skin?

Well, my resume is in my sig (Im perfectly capable)...so if you want me to go ahead with this, give me a PM or an email (iplaythespoons[at]hotmail.com). Sounds like fun.

ipts...all but classix in your sig are 404's

[iPlayTheSpoons]

fixed (silly new site), thanks

[dlinkwit27]

not a prob.

as for the skin, is this possible? I thought having windows like this is what made invitica have problems?

[iPlayTheSpoons]

completely and easily possible. just a matter of doing it. i got a running start using winamp modern as a base for gfx, but sven codes very different than me, so its taking some time to get how i want it, but its comming along nicely. as soon as i get permission, ill show something.

[dlinkwit27]

I see. This will be interesting then

Please feel free to use this skin as a reference point to build your new Winamp5 skins.

That is in the modern skin's skin.xml and the about box in prefs

So that, plus steve's initial request asking that it be based off the modern skin says to me that you would be perfectly welcome to do this.

Why not simply put the ML and playlists in the Video/Vis area? It would only require a few new graphics (mainly modifying the playlist buttons to work with the video/vis bar, which I did some work on a while ago), the only tricky part would be the MAKI, as Sven hasn't released .m files (that I know of). I would do it in a heartbeat, and I could probably code the MAKI myself.
