Here's my complete Shakedown skin/viz/track info for Media Center 9.1 & 10.

Screenshot:

Download zip including skin, viz & track info:
http://members.aol.com/filmprods/shakedown.zip

To get the track info to look right, you must first select the vizualisation called "shakedown 4 track info", then switch to track info mode and select "shakedown.

This skin is inspired by a winamp skin i saw and liked.

I hope you like it too,

Actually I think it looks really cool!

What is the visualisation you are using? It matches really well.

Matt · « **Reply #3 on:** February 16, 2004, 01:45:05 pm »

Sweet.

Looking forward to a version we can try out

scott_r · « **Reply #4 on:** February 16, 2004, 06:32:50 pm »

Skin looks sweet! I'll download it as soon as it's available.
Player buttons look cool, but maybe a bit more contrast is needed between the background of the playing now info area and the text - colour-blind people like me are hard to please

Also, thats a cool vis - mind posting the preset?

Scott.

cascius · « **Reply #5 on:** February 16, 2004, 07:38:27 pm »

I'm glad to get those replies. I have only done the graphics ofr the main interface so far. The rest (i.e. windows etc...) are still from the MediaOne skin

Yeah, I'm not that excited about the navigation buttons either... I'm going to have to figure something to do with those.

Once i get a little closer to a first beta, I'll post it here along with the visualization and the icons i made.

Till then,

feel free to post some ideas here.

PS: I haven't tried it with version 10, is there a way to have both 9.XX and 10.XX installed at once?

Thanks

No, But you can install 10 and then reinstall 9.1...

cascius · « **Reply #7 on:** February 17, 2004, 07:18:03 pm »

Just wanted to let you know everything is coming along really well. It's starting to rock

I'll let you know later on if i can post beta 1 tonight.

-Cascius

:::UPDATE:::
2 new screenies:
Full Mode
Reduced Mode (Viz Only)

I decided to upload the skin and viz today. Should take 1-2 hours for me to finish a few things.

Enjoy,

Cascius

:::2nd Update:

Well I need to work on something else, so I won't be able to make the modifs i wanted to.

Therefore, here we go:

Shakedown Mega-Me Skin Beta 1:
Only the main Window is 95% finished. The rest is borrowed from another skin and will be changed very, very soon. (I will remove this link if it bothers anyone.)
Shakedown Beta 1

Shakedown Viz:
This works best as a rectangular vizualisation while being in playing now mode.
Extract the files under: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center\Visualizations\Vis Studio
Shakedown Viz 1

Have fun,

-Cascius

scott_r · « **Reply #8 on:** February 17, 2004, 09:08:44 pm »

Coming along niceley!

Only problem is I can't download the vis! I just end up with a 0byte zip file.
Tried downloading with FireFox and GetRight with the same result.

Keep up the good work,

Scott.

cascius · « **Reply #9 on:** February 17, 2004, 11:45:52 pm »

Yeah i fixed that. the file is now here:

shakedown_viz1.zip

cascius · « **Reply #10 on:** March 03, 2004, 03:04:04 pm »

Alright guys, new version available. All links and info in the first post.

Peace,

-Cascius

cascius · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2004, 01:44:14 am »

Well. there's been tons of views but no comments...

I wouldn't mind some feedbacks. I personaly like what I've done with that theme and would love to get some critics (positive or negative).

Thanks,

As soon as i get some time i will have a closer look and let you know my comments.

cascius · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2004, 12:19:23 am »

Thanks DJ. Looking forward for the feedbacks.

LonWar · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2004, 08:06:18 am »

Hi, I loaded it and it is a very clean looking skin.

I am not really keen on the Trackinfo, I like the ones were you can see the bios, lyrics, comments and all. but then I realize doing that would go against the clean look.

I REALY love the vis, I think that is very unique.

JimH · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2004, 09:57:28 am »

Nice skin, Cascius. Thanks.

DJ_Hazelwood · « **Reply #16 on:** March 13, 2004, 09:11:31 am »

Ok. I've played around with it some time.

The colour-combinations are very comfortable.

The only thing i'm missing is a difference between the lines in the list-area and the background of the scroll-bar. Buy maybe that's by design.

And some elements (player-buttons, horizontal slider and some frames) have different background-colors (e.g. in options --> playback).

All other things are really cool.

Thanks for the skin

cascius · « **Reply #17 on:** March 18, 2004, 03:57:44 pm »

Thanks for the feedbacks DJ,

I'll fix those little problems in the coming up week. I'm currently installing a Media Center PC on my parents' kick ass home theatre. Man it's gona rock! Huge sony projector, 100inch wide screen... Can't wait for the night to come down to see how tight it looks.

Anyway,

Thanks and peace,

-Cascius

Have you got a new download link yet? I'm able to download beta 1 but not the latest version at the moment.

Thanks

cascius · « **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2004, 06:34:05 pm »

Sorry about this Sauzee, but I've been working on a new skin and updating the previous ones to work better with v10.0. I will start a new thread with all 3 of them and some vizualisations & matching track info very soon.

Thanks for your patience,

-Cascius

Sauzee · « **Reply #23 on:** April 01, 2004, 01:28:15 am »

Sounds good.

BTW No need to apologise. I really appreciate what you and guys like you are doing. Hope I didn't sound to pushy

pipsqueak · « **Reply #24 on:** April 08, 2004, 01:56:49 pm »

cascius · « **Reply #25 on:** April 08, 2004, 07:36:02 pm »

Incoming...

pipsqueak · « **Reply #26 on:** April 13, 2004, 07:46:58 pm »

cascius

a few more comments about what has become my default skin:

1) when the music is stopped the main stop button looks greyed out

2) id really love it if the action window boxes had the minimise bar that the original MC skins have

3) i have toolbar buttons along the base of the screen, as the colour is slightly different at the bottom than the top its impossible to read the writing on these buttons

thanks
pip

ps. if this makes no sense i can email you a screen shot that shows what im talking about.

cascius · « **Reply #27 on:** April 14, 2004, 04:14:21 am »

Yo Pip, it kinda makes sense, but a screenshot wouldn't hurt. Send it at: filmprods@aol.com

No your not... I think it was removed.

pipsqueak · « **Reply #30 on:** April 14, 2004, 06:52:34 pm »

im hoping (with fingers crossed) that cascius is fixing up the few adjustments i pointed out to him (see above)...

cascius · « **Reply #31 on:** April 14, 2004, 09:00:59 pm »

Yup, working on it as we speak.

The grey out stopped button is actually a new feature of MC. It does it to all skins... I'm not sure I like it but oh well...

I'll fix the rest and make a few modifications while I'm there.

Thanks JimH.

Well I've fixed Pips' issues, I'm now working on some of the graphics in the option frames. Shouldn't take too long.
