I JUST WANT THE NORMAL SKIN
« on: April 15, 2002, 01:27:51 pm »

is there any way at all to command MJ somewhere in all of that XML crap and megaskins crap to just use windows' display and appearance settings??........every good player seems to want to do this once they get real good...they go and start getting fancy schmancy and trying to add looks to the program when most of the people i know just want a program to look like everything else on their computer.....i mean.......i wouldnt walk into a black tie dinner wearing clown shoes and a pink polka-dotted jacket.....so i dont want my media player looking like a spaceship when the rest of my conputer looks like a normal desktop.

In an earlier post, they stated that skins can be disabled in a future build, and since this is a BETA, they want (force) people to test the mega skinning feature. Don't like it. Don't use the beta until it is released. Look for a thread directed to me (RAVMAN) and you will find a skin with a little more white and less blue.

The only clue I've seen is "when it's ready".

My guess is that depends on a great many factors.  Some of which could be: how many new features will be added, how many bugs have to be fixed, how good the feedback is from the beta testers...

As far as the current color scheme goes, there have been posted some skins and .xml files that will give you a more standard look and still allow JRiver to have us test the skinning.  You can find them if you hunt through the forum.

Happy hunting!

We should have the ability to disable skins within a week.

Ravman, we're not forcing you to use skins.  We just don't have a way to disable them.

I prob would if it was not work related

Maybe due to the fact that i think most at formals are stuck up.

I have been to many of them, where they lie and boast about things they have done (really taking credit for others work).

I wasn't complaining about being forced to use the skinning feature, but trying to point out that the software is BETA and may not contain all of the final feature set. I love the new MJ8 and can live with the blue color until there are more skins. A few examples already look very promising. Keep up the great work. I love MJ8 and look forward to the gold build.

King,
> Maybe due to the fact that i think most at formals are stuck up.

They're just in camoflauge, trying to look like the others so they don't get fired on.

> I have been to many of them, where they lie and boast about things they have done (really taking credit for others work).

> reminds me of church

Or a convention of conservatives.

Well, I meant gold build as in final build not gold as in color, but a gold skin may work. How about a gold build that is pressed on a gold CD with real gold on the cover using the gold skin.
