Dragyn,

That is absolutely bloody fantastic.

Can't wait to play with it. I'll make it into an MC only ccf and remove all the custom stuff. When done I'll let send it back for you to post in the NR Gallery.

Awesome work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Some quick comments now I've had time to take it in:

I tried the ratings stars on the Pocket PC and the inactive grey star looks similar in color to the active blue one in low light environments. I think white would be a better choice than grey as this shows up more.

Slider - The knobs at either side are gone. It looks better without them I agree but they were really useful. They advanced or rewound the track an amount set in the ccf (e.g. 10%) and are really useful when rating a load of tracks.

Great Idea to put the 3 buttons below right of player window - nice one.

Nice start icon. Does this change color according to STATE:MP.LinkActive?

One more suggestion about Opus NR: Would the bottom corners look better if they were square on the outside and rounded on the inside? [Edit - just looked at your earlier mock up in the PM which was squared. I actually think round looks better.]

Opus MC slider bar: I'm not sure about this. I liked the square boxes. Maybe it'll grow on me.

I wish I knew how you managed to produce such fantastic artwork. Do you use Photoshop? Any chance of a lesson sometime?

Dragyn · « **Reply #52 on:** July 12, 2004, 05:43:00 pm »

I can make the slider smaller, lighter, more square, whatever. I'm just playing with it. something needs to be done though as it looks weird (to me) that way.

I'm using photoshop but I'm not that great at it. Most of the images came from the opus skin itself except for the player buttons that I did.

Dragyn · « **Reply #53 on:** July 12, 2004, 07:02:44 pm »

ok, blue has been updated. let me know what you think and if I should change anything.

thanks.

jleerigby · « **Reply #54 on:** July 19, 2004, 02:54:30 am »

For those that are interested this is the final version of my NetRemote ccf with Opus graphics. Great job Dragyn.

You can download it from the gallery at www.netremote.org

Going through the process of updating all the skins...

I think it would be best to delete the opus skins and start from scratch. I made so many versions, I can't even keep track of them all. I started to put version numbers inside the skin which is viewable through the skin manager and I'll update those numbers for anything new....something I should have done at the beginning.

Things to come:

Smaller titlebar size to match Opus OS (will be an addition to the other skins)

Love the new Opus skin Dragyn
I'd hate to increase your work load but have you thought about doing a Theatre view skin too

?

jleerigby · « **Reply #57 on:** August 05, 2004, 06:55:22 am »

Now that would be a cool idea, and pretty easy to do too. I may even do it myself but not tonight as I'm off to see Shrek 2

I can work on a theater view skin. Since they made the change in 11, I've been playing around with it even more so.

Dragyn · « **Reply #60 on:** August 30, 2004, 07:55:48 pm »

Thin version of Opus Blue has been added.

Bright Blue is coming. $:-\$

Great!

Dragyn · « **Reply #62 on:** September 11, 2004, 11:37:13 am »

Made a white background for Opulence SC. Let me know what you think.

Sauzee · « **Reply #63 on:** September 11, 2004, 03:05:28 pm »

I prefer the white background - adds more contrast to the skin

Dragyn · « **Reply #64 on:** September 17, 2004, 06:10:45 pm »

Thank you very much, Dragyn.

One question... what is the font that you use?

Thanks

Dragyn...thankyou, thankyou, thankyou

. that thunderstorm skin was giving me a headache!!! Love my opus bright blue.

Thanks for all the hard work (and for making this so I didn't have to deal with code stuff!!!). Bet

Dragyn · « **Reply #72 on:** October 04, 2004, 05:50:38 am »

Thanks again everyone.

I made a lame attempt at a wood version. Went kinda fast through so let me know again if I missed anything.

Dragyn · « **Reply #73 on:** October 09, 2004, 12:21:26 am »

added a white version. updated versions of deep and olive should be done this weekend.

note: all skins are being moved to the skin download page.

Neville · « **Reply #74 on:** October 11, 2004, 04:14:20 am »

I don't see any new skins in skins download page!? Also skins that are on download page are old versions.

Dragyn · « **Reply #75 on:** October 11, 2004, 06:37:03 am »

tried to upload some last night but it kept timing out. most likely my connection.

still trying to figure out how to update those skins you mentioned also.

pipsqueak · « **Reply #76 on:** October 13, 2004, 10:25:02 am »

dragyn, i think you've realised this already, but a bunch of the links dont work for the skins...

Dragyn · « **Reply #77 on:** October 14, 2004, 05:03:10 am »

I uploaded most of them. not sure where they are.

Hey Dragyn, in case you need some storage space, just let me know (PM), I have plenty (600megs or so)

Something you'd like to share with us

BTW: I kinda ike the wood skin and the white background on opus look pretty darn (I mean darn) good. I've been using your skins only for so long. From Opus to Opulence to Codename to Opus...

This post ranks pretty high on my most useless posts list, eh...

Dragyn · « **Reply #80 on:** October 17, 2004, 07:28:20 pm »

Once the download page gets fixed, there will be 3 new versions. Still tweaking these a bit but there almost ready. Still finishing up Olive and Deep and those should be there too.

Oak
Cedar
Pine

Valisystem · « **Reply #81 on:** October 18, 2004, 12:27:00 am »

Hey, Dragyn, while you're working, don't forget that Opus - Blue and Opus - Bright Blue are still turning up a "page not found" message. I upgraded to MC11 and I miss my blue Opus skin! Thanks for the good work!

Dragyn · « **Reply #82 on:** October 18, 2004, 06:19:53 am »

The plan is to get all these skins updated and on the download page this week.

These will probably be the last of the opus versions unless someone can think of something else to add. I'm all opus'd out.

Valisystem · « **Reply #83 on:** October 18, 2004, 11:53:09 pm »

Yowzah! I feel so much better! Thanks!

Dragyn · « **Reply #84 on:** October 21, 2004, 08:33:22 pm »

ok, I did a little modification to the oak version. let me know if it's too much.

Opus MC (Oak)

Dragyn · « **Reply #85 on:** October 22, 2004, 05:14:23 pm »

ok. all skins are on the skins page except the updated purple, orange, deep, and olive. I'll get to those soon. thanks everyone. closing this now as it's getting kinda messy.

ps. if you get a "invalid package", save the .mjp file to the disk and double-click on it.
