new skin in progress (download preview)

[summerall]

I'll take a look when I get home tonight. Thanks for looking into this.

[summerall]

Fixed - It was the screen size.

[Marbles_00]

Thanks for good feedback..

[rembetis]

First off, excellent skin. One of the best I've tried, at least to my eye and for my purposes. I need to tweak a few things here and there (I assume you don't mind), but otherwise quite "ready for prime time."

On first glance, I do have two *very* minor issues, one almost certainly related to my setup somehow, the other I'm not sure. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

1. Although I have Webdings installed (and in fact reinstalled your copy just in case mine was corrupt) the main "nav" icons display in reverse negative, meaning that instead of nice clean logos with transparency I get boxes with all the blank space filled in with white. Any idea why?

2. The "datetime>t" text in the lower right hand corner wants to display "AM/PM" as well as the time, and thus won't fit the box. How do you cut off the AM/PM part?

Thanks again for your hard work.

(EDIT: I am test running this skin on Windows 2000, if that helps solve either of the above)

[rubbah]

thanks alot

That must be something with Xlobby or windows, i get i at my job computer but not at home. And i can't imagine what the difference is between the two computers. Hmm when i think of it i had the same issue some time back on my home computer. could it be something with SP2 or .net version?

the logo's are .png, maybe i can solve it by using .gif instead.

2. The "datetime>t" text in the lower right hand corner wants to display "AM/PM" as well as the time, and thus won't fit the box. How do you cut off the AM/PM part?

this must be the fact that my computer is setup to show 24 hours and you use 12 Am/Pm ?

Thanks for the reply, Lars. The icons look fine on the actual (Win XP) machine I'd be using this skin on, so it really doesn't matter and please don't go editing anything for my sake. I was just curious why. And thanks for explaining the clock thing too... that makes perfect sense.

[rubbah]

no prob.. it still bugs me why the transparent goes white..

[summerall]

Does this skin crash for anyone else when mousing over the controls on the music screen (bottom left hand corner)?

Here's the error I got:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this

The application must also be compiled with debugging

[rubbah]

can't help u with that one..

the controls should just be a normal category.

[ScAndal]

WOW, you just won me over. I NEED this skin.

Does it support multi-zone?

ScAndal

[rubbah]

hey..
still working on this one.. trying to fix alot of bugs and adding some more functionality..

i only use one zone, but maybe i'll add it.

hope to have a finished skin within a few weeks

thanks for you're intrest

[acemt01]

This is great. This has become my new "default" skin. Still trying to figure out what all the buttons do Any chance of a widscreen or hi-res version?

Thanks for all your hard work.

Mark

[rubbah]

hmm.. it is 1280x720. that's suppost to be widescreen

if it's 1080p you're looking for? nope.. maybe later.
