Great to see you "back at work"

+1

One request:
Is it possible to make the PlayerBar_SliderVol.png in the same greyscale as the progress_back.png?
(this would make customizing the main color easy er.)

One remark:
To make this skin working on Linux systems all the Capitals in the filenames must match.
I got it to work after renaming this file's:

Playerbar_SliderVolThumb.png ==> PlayerBar_SliderVolThumb.png
Playerbar_SliderVolThumb.png ==> PlayerBar_SliderVolThumb.png

I would be great for future use if all filenames would match by default

Thanks again

Thank you for you feedback.
I didn't know that the skin is not working on Linux as long as the filenames do not match exactly.

I updated the skin to 1.5.1 to fix that issue.

By greyscale you probably mean the Windows 8 version, right?

Thank you, I love this skin!

I have a question.

default?

Maverick07 · « **Reply #103 on:** September 08, 2015, 08:02:59 am »

Yes i don't think there is a way to avoid that - otherwise the PositionThumb (the handle thing), wouldn't have any space at the start and the end.

Thank you for your prompt reply

Hey guys,
i know its been some time since i anounced that there will be a "special" version of the skin.
Well here it is...

It didn't turned out to be that special - well i've only change the colors and the three color buttons on the mainframe, as i actually like the rest of the skin

I think it turned out good even with only a handful of changes. The skin looks much sleeker and modern now.

So yes the "Modern" skin is now available in the MetroX package on my deviantart site. As usual in a bright pink and cyan / blue color.

I was planning to make more colors like gold / bright green / red / white / ... but in the end i stayed at the usual colors.
If you have any color wishes let me know it, and i can upload it here

Nice update, thanks!

A white/grey version matching Windows 10's Explorer window scheme would be neat.

However one using #29A7CC which is the accent color chosen from my background would be really neat.

Maverick07 · « **Reply #107 on:** December 11, 2015, 06:35:22 pm »

I've add two files on the first post

#CAA43F - Gold
#29A7CC - Dark Cyan

Download the .rar and drag (and overwrite) the files on one of the skins

Yes it's possible look at my skins and the base is you're skin as you know so from meory i don't know if i moved the offset in the main xml or if i have just changed the png but it's doable many skin do it...

I like the zune win 10 version

Maverick07 · « **Reply #109 on:** January 26, 2016, 06:47:36 am »

Some news for you...

I'm currently working on an all white version of the MetroX, to maybe go for an even more elegant version.

It is in the very early stages but this is how it will might look.
Yes technically it's very light grey - it will be hard to find the matching colors to still see the difference between the greyscales, and to be still considered as "white".

I'm not sure if i like it, or if anyone is interested in it?
...so yes the release date could vary a lot on my motivation and if im happy with the result

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #110 on:** January 26, 2016, 12:41:01 pm »

I'm very interested in it.

kurushi · « **Reply #111 on:** January 26, 2016, 03:21:39 pm »

Yep i love it too !

Looks nice, count me in.

I"m still using your prior version of MetroX as my daily driver. For my tastes, it's much better than any of the default skins. Glad to see you're still at it.

Maverick07 · « **Reply #114 on:** July 21, 2016, 04:07:25 pm »

So i have two news for you. A good one and a bad one.

The bad one is that there won't be a white version in the near future. Somehow i could not get familiar with it as soon i switched over to the normal one.

The good thing is that the Windows 10 version got a small update.
The List and Action Windows got a new look so it fits better to Windows 10. The old one still had the borderless Metro style which did not fully fit to the rest of the skin.
I also fixed the color of the list. Means if you deactivate the gridlines the background will be pure white now.
I'm pretty happy with the rest of the skin, so i did not touched the rest.

As usual the changes can be seen on the first site.

Hope you like it

jimm2 · « **Reply #115 on:** July 21, 2016, 05:59:13 pm »

Nice work as usual. Thank you.

Hey people,
It's been a while now again

As I'm still using my skin there are still some updates here and there.
First of all the official updates which are very little:
- the bottom bar is now light instead of dark, which makes the skin a bit sleeker looking
- Action Window have a white background so easier to seperate it from the rest
- added official "Gold" color theme

Apart of that no big updates...
But because of the current weather I decided to fresh up the skin a bit - so basically changing the main background of the top part.
So far there are three different colors - but more are coming. Those three are "done" but I did not put them into the official download package as I haven't decided which one should go in.

Aegean/Pink - A very dark blue combined with pink accents
Cobalt/Blue - the official Microsoft blue with blue accents
Gaia/Pink - A fresh and experimental gradient color (inspired by the old Gaia themes), again together with pink

Download on the first page or >>> Here <<<

Hope you like the (small) changes and maybe the new colors as well

JimH · « **Reply #118 on:** August 23, 2017, 03:34:08 pm »

Thank you!

Maverick07 · « **Reply #119 on:** September 14, 2017, 12:08:04 pm »

I added another official theme color to the package.

This time its a green - very similar to the spotify green
I quite like it, even more than the cyan one i would say

As usually included in the deviantart package seen on the first post

bob · « **Reply #120 on:** September 14, 2017, 02:20:17 pm »

Looks cool but I can't find the green one if I go to the link above:
There are 3 skins and the last change is August 23rd.

If I go here:
https://maverick07x.deviantart.com/art/JRiver-MetroX-327728200

I get 6 skins including the Green one and the Windows 8 ones.

Maverick07 · « **Reply #121 on:** September 15, 2017, 08:23:52 am »

Thanks for pointing it out. I probably forgot to change the download link on the first post.

Should be fixed now
