Hi all i have made since long time a skin i need to make some minors adjustements and i want to share it with you for contribution for this awesome MC14.(i 've just bought it:)
But before releasing hi need the right of the original authors :JRiver.inc because my skin is based on the model "odessa".But it's completely different i change many xml settings and remake the pictures.So it's not odessa anymore:)

If odessa maker is ok i 'll release it and credit him for the base skin.

I can post screen yet i am not at my house...

I 'll make another one too...

[Mr ChriZ]

Sounds interesting 

[neFAST]

What a teasing!

[kurushi]

thx Mr ChriZ
Yep mc14 have a lot of good skins but mainly in 3d and glassy style and i love the old flat style with no 3d at all :p
my skin have 2 models one bright background and another with black background.

Ah and the play pause buttons have a good bonus on them.

The feeling with this skin is good when in works.

I 'll release them this week-end but i need to redone some tweaks like adjust the background contrast  on the bright skin.
So i 'll post them this week -end for test purpose and so if u have some ideas about it  i 'll release them in 2 weeks in final state.

I don't plan anymore to spend so much time on them (i just want finishing some touchs) because i want to make another one completely different maybe flat but with reflect on it like a glasse but without 3d.

I stop it because my english sounds horrible ^^

[neFAST]

Weekend has come. Time for a preview :p

Sorry for the convenience.

But You need to delete the Folder ^Diabolik^ dark in :

Cause u can't switch to diabolik & db light...

I have submitted today so see the v 1.1 before downloading.

Hi,
I have trying a red variation of the diabolik skin so it's more diabolik in red.
It's just a preview and i don't plan to spend so much time on it i 've played around 1 hour and don't know when i 'll finish it.
At the beginning i was seeing the diabolik in red but i have switched to somewhat more easy on eyes.

Anyway this the skin in this alpha state...

[kurushi]

Hi,
I have played a little with the ^diabolik^ light skin about the tab buttons & the slimplayer.
Here's the result:

[kurushi]

And finally for the ^diabolik^ dark skin:

[kurushi]

About the tabs buttons do you prefer the olds one or the news one?
Because i plan to update and maybe to release the final state of the ^diabolik^ skins.

[kurushi]

Re,
Finally i have almost finished the ^^Diabolik skin.
Here the result,i need to test it a little for to find some part none skinned and then i 'll release however if anyone want test it for a preview i can host it just say me here.
This one is for dark session.

[kurushi]

Hi i have made some little change in the seekbar here the result:
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4397/seekpos.png

I have placed a point in the center for better feeling with seeking(on the screenshot u can see 3 point it was a test...)

[kurushi]

Re,
here the result after Mr Chriz hint about the fullscreenplayer

[kurushi]

Hi,
I have tried a white version of ^diabolik^ light it took me just 3 minute so i 'll not release it because you just need to edit the :
mainframe stuff in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 15\Skins\Standard View\^Diabolik^ white
and to made white all the light parts and to open the main.xml for to edit the colour of the back list in the <list> section.
Anyway here how it looks: (it's more conventionnal like noire)

[bob]

I like the light skin a lot. It looks really nice in my work setup where there is a lot of light in my face (my monitor is in front of a window).

[kurushi]

Thx bob for you're words you can have more white screen like the white that i show at the top of you're post.It take about 2 minutes to tweak the light skin for to have more white space.Because the light skin is a little pink in the background and have a dark playerbar.
Anyway thx for the feedback i 'm feel less alone here:)
If u have suggestions for improvements....

On the screenshot u can notice some differences if u have downloaded it from the plug-in submission.I'll release them in finale state soon and the red skin too.
And maybe the white skin too but i need to change some things on it for to have a little more different style than the already light skin.

[brossmac]

Thanks for these.  While I like the shiny semi-three-dimensional skins, I'm really a big fan of flat skins.

[kurushi]

Thx for the words i love the flat skins too and it's not always easy to be flat in windows

[kurushi]

Hi,
So the 5 skins are updated in final state i test them and they 'll be released soon so stay tuned!

[kurushi]

Hi,
So i 've just to submitted the 5 skins:
A lot of minor changes 2 new skins white & red.
Dialog polished
Buttons for maximize minimize etc are changed i use those of Noire skin with some tweaks on them.
Better preview and skin info updated.
Little changes in the name of the skin for better handling in the skin chooser window.

I 'll release another finale version maybe but i think it's near the real final state.
Maybe i 'll make a blue one for the finish and so i 'll make another one completely different this time...

Here's the preview:

The newcovierview from MC15:

By gigapotatoes at 2010-04-14

Use them together accordings with your moods & HAVE FUN!

[gappie]

that looks very nice kurushi.
for downloading i should use the links from the first post?

(and of topic: is that drum program you use good?)

 
gab

[kurushi]

Hi Gappie for downloaded u have just to be patient because i have submitted them Today.
I think Bob is not so far away

[Off Topic]

For the drum plug-in that i use (i think you speak about another skin that is on mypage?)
he's i think one o f the better i use (probably the best) it's simply Mdrummer

The factory sound bank are too "heavy" for me (and certainly for you're "jazz lover" ears)[EDIT theres good brush however] but are easy mixable and have very good punch but Anyway you can add you're own bank and with my good own ludwig customised i am very happy of the sound.

I use it a lot for jamming but the devoper per eg use it for creating drumtracks (it can be generate million of beats with a few clicks)

You can use it at a librerarian side for you're midi files and sample banks.

Have total control on each part of the drumkit.

Really good built-in plugs too.

The soft is totally skinnable Thx to the author vojtech for to have created a skin creator for this furious skin engine:)

You can simply try the demo they are 2 version to use a full fonctionnal demo and a  free light version if i remember correctly.

I like to use it added with Jamstix2 or with the vintage rock kit from ezdrummer.

I have used battery  from N.I before by the past good soft but Mdrummer is really better.

[gappie]

found it. the drumming program that is. looks very nice and promising. thanks for the recommendation. i have something new to play with the next days. and looks less complex for setting up a simple rhythm then with fruityloops, even maybe in 7/4.... thanks

and i also found the skins. just downloaded diabolik  "standard". very nice. love the way the action window 'hangs' in the tree.. will play around with it.

thanks
gab

[kurushi]

Hi the new version is not on the plug-in form, i have submitted it today.So you have downloaded an earlier version.
So if you don't want to wait u can grab the suite here:
http://drop.io/fixymoi/asset/diabolik-suite-zip

For Mdrummer it can handle odd metter(there's a post on the forum about odd time signatures) but i need to figure out XD.
Fruitty loops can do several instruments Mdrummer is only drums (you can sure import your bass sample but it's not the goal of the soft).Now when i think drum in my daw i think Mdrummer

for the action window it was based on a mistake but the result is good.

[gappie]

now i have them all in one. thanks.
i see in your screenshot you also played around with the default art.. 

fruity loops is very nice and of course for more then drums. but also more work to set up right when you just want something quick and simple.

Hi,
Personnally i use Ext v1 for live played of my vsti.
Tracktion for record the audio.
And live for flexibility in composing.

For a good simple software but powerfull and with a good skin lol u can check mulab i like it i don't have buy yet but surly 'll.
You can check it:
http://www.mutools.com/mulab/docs/introduction.html

For the default art you mean the nothumb audio bitmap? or the icons?

[gappie]

i mean the icons. the nice 8th notes for audio. i know how to do that, gives a nice idea..

i did not know mutools. looks nice. will check it out later. for now i still have 6 hours to go before mdrummer small is downloaded 
i use sawstudio basic for recording. i love that software, expensive though. http://www.sawstudio.com/
and i use reaper, which i think is very nice too. http://www.cockos.com/reaper/
they also have some free plugins http://www.cockos.com/reaper/reaplugs/index.php

 
gab

[kurushi]

yes repaer rock!
i 'll check sawstudio.You 'll have sure good fun with mdrummer (check also Jamstix2 if you don't know yet)
http://www.rayzoon.com/

For the icon yes i have made a post on them u can see more screenshot in it....
For artist it's a hat, a black hat;)
And a "idea lamp" for smartlist:)

Edit:  i was played with  the saw demo i think there's long time.I 'll install it lol he have hundred of skin like the default skin XD
http://www.thessvideos.com/skins.html
But some are very good like this one
http://www.thessvideos.com/skins/canipus/canipusl.jpg
or this:
http://www.thessvideos.com/skins/finetex/finetexl.jpg

The midi workshop seems cool for midi editing.

I go download the demo.

Edit: i have more tried the saw demo i 'll not use so much window i like all in one window (doesn't find shortcut for mixer view etc...) and there's no 32 bit only 16 or 24.


I can speak with you to music & daw on pm if you want cause it's not the right place here


And about the skin what is you're best or the one you don't like?

[bob]

Hi,
So the 5 skins are updated in final state i test them and they 'll be released soon so stay tuned!

Thanks for your patience!

They are up on the plugins page now. If one does standard skins and most recent they will sort to the top.

I'm using Blanc, it's very nice. The ^^Diabloik one is cool as well.

Thanks!

[kurushi]

Thank you Bob!
It's cool that you like it (i have released the white finally for users who have their monitorin front of  a window like you.
So it's not totally white but u can just change the background for a pure white because it's not contrasting with other white colours on the skin but anyway it's almost white:)


A lot of love was made in this skins.
The first one was the ^diabolik^ skin i have made a lot of change on it then i have worked on others so they become not just a simple variation but i have tried to stay in the same model as ^diabolik^ because the suite was in my mind since the beginning...
I like the new buttons based on Noire The buttons is the part who has been the most modified.

I have maid so many versions of each (in fact when i launched MC i was launching Gimp together XD)

EDIT: I have put the web adress of this topic in the preview text so maybe you can drop it because it's useless only the first part of the adress appear...

[kurushi]

If i had time i plan to release another one with white (or more sand) & blue colours.Only two colour this time

It's this player skin who has inspired me:
http://vinylsoft.com/screen/w_light2.jpg

I love this skin! Even i don't use white background:)

[kurushi]

Hi,I have seen some little mistake in the font colour of the skin so i 'll be released another fixed version and a more big font in the playerbardisplay if the gappie tricks work;).
Anyway for those who have tested the new states of the skins feedback are welcome.
