Big Bento Modern Beta 0.93

[Victhor]

Looking good and working great on my win10 laptop Victhor. Loving the animations. Thanks a bunch!

Ahhh.. Thanks! My heart beats sweetly when I hear it's working fine on Win10 and that animations look great.. (those 2 were my bigger fears).

Hi Victhor, great that the final release is out. Question though: I downloaded the Windows 10 package, like you said it unzipped the file en put the whole folder in the skin folder of Winamp. It shows up in my skins list but when I choose the skin Winamp jumps back to the original green Kermit skin. Fortunately I can choose your beta Big Bento skin again. I deleted the install.ini file. Did I miss something?

[Victhor]

Hi there, have you extracted the folders on its own? You're supposed to end up with 4 loose folders on your skins directory ("Big Bento Modern", "Big Bento Modern Light", "Big Bento Modern Windows 10 edition" and "Big Bento Modern Windows 10 edition Light").

I realise my mistake, I put the folder within the 2 folders. now it works. Going modify the colours. Thanks for the fast reply! Great work!!

As a token of my appreciation for all your work for Winamp I donated through Paypal. Keep up the good work! Still think Winamp is the best mediaplayer around.

Received! Thanks! Winamp is still the best, no doubt, I hope I can make it even better with my skin. Don't hesitate to ask if in trouble, the skin can be a little misterious at times heh.

PS: I'm uploading on my Instagram (instagram.com/victhorbrocaz) some hints of what's next (sort of), check it out to drool a bit more XD.

Question: can the left column (with Media Library Playlist Visualization etc) be hidden or made smaller? Then I have more space on my desktop for the other columns.

[Victhor]

Yes you can! Hit the button / divider seen on this screenshot (it will switch to only icons):

Would you please make the divider a little bit wider so it does not look like the "frame-lines" around some areas? When I saw it for the first time I thought something was missing above and beneath this line (which is none - it is a divider).



P.S. Or maybe in different color?

[Victhor]

Yeah, I'll have to think about something there, some people are not finding intuitively that divider / button.

The idea for the tabs area was to make it look and work like Windows 10's left bar (see attach), that sort of minimal look, I even thought about hiding the divider completely. But I didn't wanted it to have a different background color, so I had to use a middle ground.

I wouldn't make the line taller because it would look bad once you find its functionality (think of a button +400px high), but I'll surely do something about it eventually (maybe on the Win10 version the different bg would be more justified..).

Thanks for your reply, I had already found the divider but it does not turn nor can I drag to the left. Is this because of some setting?

You do not have to drag it. Just click it.

Sometimes it is too easy

Yeah, I'll have to think about something there, some people are not finding intuitively that divider / button.

And what about adding a "three horizontal lines"-icon as a toggle button, which would provide the same functionality of a modern divider: show/hide tab's text? Such button would be, in my eyes, more self-explanatory than every "click-divider".

Is the built-in Waveform Seeker in this screenshot fake or have you got it done and is now part of the skin? (with some help from WACUP project)
