JLee,
thanks for being so enthusiastic, you'll find an updated version here, if it's becoming necessary; as long as I find the time and as it is technically possible for me I will always keep them updated - at least for myself and if there's also interest by others more than ever (unless JRiver will bring up some art that let me stop with it because of it's beauty :-)
If you use the ffffff(no)-blend parameter then you may need some other skin files...I've done them for PixOS and Blue Steel:
www.codemand.de/Files/Customizations/MC/NoBlend/NoBlend.zipScott,
actually I don't know, what I know is that not every section accepts every parameter that may work somewhere else (would be cool - I really like to have images for the separators or make them transparent or better: transparent placeholders...)
mrsnarky,
extract the files to a temporary folder and replace the corresponding files by hand - maybe there's an incompatibility regarding the stored path inside the zip-file...
Try to create an archive (maybe a self-extracting?) with your WinZip - then you can run it after each MC-Update (my files will always be overwritten by an MC-install as long as there are in the original locations). You can also copy your modified skins under a different name to prevent them from being overwritten everytime MC is being updated...
MGD_King,
since meanwhile there's an updated version of GetPlayingNow (new name: 'PlayingNow') the included config.ini doesn't work anymore but anyway: you can use the other files - extract them to your 'PlayingNow_installation_folder\Skins\Create_A_Folder_Of_Your_Choice' then copy an actual config.ini into it and adapt it with the parameters found in my config.ini...you have more parameters with the new one and the layout has changed.
You can also wait until I find the time and upload an actual set...
And now something in general:
In nearly every second app on the market (even freeware) I can see those 'XP-Style' icons, even the Office-Design is often found - do they all pay for it's use?
Should I alienate every icon so that it's not 'original' or is the point where the source comes from?
Thanks, Eric
