Working on a new mini-me-skin
« on: February 19, 2002, 09:52:16 pm »
Since nobody wants to respond to my topic "Flickering playlist", I dropped my self-created winamp-skin.
Now I'm working on a real MJ skin.

I just copied one of the default skins and started to edit it.
Now my MJ looks like the Music-player of MacOS X!! REALLY COOL Next Page

BUT, skin is unable to save its last position on desktop, when I switch to this skin, it appears always on the middle of the desktop.
I have left all the events-lines in main.xml, so, why is it not working?
Has it something to do that my skin has neither a playlist nor an equalizer nor a vis-window?
I deleted all the lines belonging to this extra windows since my small skin shouldn't have such windows!

PLEASE HELP!!!
Greetings
Rüdiger
P.S. Anybody interested in that skin?

It isn't that we don't care.  It's that we don't know.

Also, we're in a bug-fixing mode here, so questions like these may have to wait.

If you don't get an answer, bump the message up again.

The line you need is in main.js.

More specifically you need these functions :



function OnInitialize()
{
if(Metamorphis.LoadSkinState() == false)
{
}
}

function OnExit()
{
Metamorphis.SaveSkinState();
}


And you'll also need to add this to your main.xml file (in the section for your skin:



 
 



and this in your main.xml (just put this right before the tag at the end):

@JimH
Thanks for response. You don't know where the problem is? Well, what did you change? Cause it was working in prior releases like build 185!

@Doof
Found the missing line on my own, thanks anyway, it was the -line i deleted!
By the way, you've got mail!! (packed with winrar3!)

Just thought I'd stick this in here...

If you zip up your skin, using Winzip or whatever, and then change the .zip extension to .mjs, You can then just double click on it, and MJ will automatically install it and switch to it. Next Page

Hey Rüdger,

The skin you've send me has CRC errors in the rar file so I cannot open it.

Would you be so kind to resend it to benny.dormaels@pandora.be ?

Thanks,

Benny

If anybody has a skin they'd like to offer up for download, I'd be willing to put it up on my FTP site until JRiver get's there version 8 skin page set up.

Just email it to me at doof_dragon@hotmail.com preferably in ZIP format.

Speaking of mini-skins, I run my monitor at 1280 x 1024.  Is there any way to enlarge the skin?  It's about two inches square on my 17 inch LCD monitor.

Thanks!

It would be great if you can upload them to

They have Media Jukebox section there with 3 skins uploaded.

Doof, you have a lot of skins now, please share them.
