THIS IS MY NEW SKIN!!!!!
features:
music playback
lcd interface
uber-cool non-rect shape
99% cpu usage
HUGE RAM load
small 21Mb filesize!
34 different modes that are all essentially different skins, but i think it's cooler this way.
really uninventive name (naoneo vorbis player) - sorry rd, i just needed a name.

my post had more of a point than to just copy adil or take the piss. i put that together (skin, packaging, snazzy background and all - it even has the layout for a stdframe) in 30mins FLAT, to be as unoriginal as possible. i have said it before, and i will say it again (mostly in pleading with the skinner gods here, like adil and raydream) to do something different, you are pretty much worshipped here, and if you change, the forum will. All 206 of the winamp3 skins @ winamp.com look the same...CHANGE!

There are people out there that want to do different things, but they don't seem to have the time or skills or they just get ignored. (like me)
I agree with BH, there isn't enough diversity.
Sorry I didn't say anything about the skin, how off topic of me, but it's so near completeion that theres nothing to say.

originally posted by rpeterclarkAfter bieng around here long enough, I've noticed most people fall into a couple groups. There's skinners who make good work, then there's people who try to tell good skinners how to make thier own skins.
BH, your skin was unoriginal because you were copying Adil, as so many other people do around here, but that doesn't mean Adil's work is unoriginal. Insisting that he changes so that other people can copy whatever new he comes up with will only lead to more unoriginality.
I say if you don't like what's out there, make something new youself. If you aren't any good at it, go learn, that's what we did.

i am working on a winamp3 skin at the moment. hell, i have the winamp3 nsdn xml tutorial page open at this very moment, along with the xml for the skin.
now, the skin i made and posted earlier was meant to look unoriginal, and a copy of adil's, and i never insisted he changed (what grounds would i have to do that). I never said i don't like the skins that are out there, i just am getting a little tired of them all looking the same. I'm not trying to tell people how to make their skins, i am trying to inject some life into the skins database, go look through it, you'll see what i mean. when somebody reviews mooow, they will HAVE to give it a low originality score - because it isn't that original any more. yes, the concept is great, the coding is fantastic and it looks hellishly good...it's just been done before, many times before. Same with your skins - all fantastic, but all the same. I will not hesitate to give any of yours/adil's skins 5 aesthetics stars, and probably 5 completness stars too...but i CAN'T give that many originality ones.
i am not trying to insult anyone here (if i remember correctley, i classed you and adil as "skinner gods" earlier, if that's an insult to either of you, i apologise).

originally posted by rpeterclarkI am not insulted or upset or anything, just discussing! But I won't perpetuate this hijacking any longer, why not start up a new thread to discuss this topic.
