Title: Update Standard View skin Easy Grey version 1.10
Post by: Jappie on February 20, 2025, 03:11:11 pm
I almost 'retired' from creating MC Skins... Easy Grey was not 'complete' and left at version 1.9, about 9 months ago.
Okay, an update is ready.
You can read about it and download the latest version at:

Enjoy.

Jappie at present I'm busy working on a project that will hopefully make Modifying a Standard View Skin or Creating a New One simpler.


But after having used your new version of the Easy Grey Skin for at least 30 minutes I love the changes you have made.

About that rounded search field you were fond of...

You could have kept them, you know. You just set the drawing instruction to keep the rounded corners at each end static, while stretching the middle to fit.

Refer to my Knit-Knots skin for an example.

A new Standard View Skinning Guide is great news. I guess "InactiveHeaderBackground" is part of that (have not tried it yet, that's for a next version of Easy Grey :)
Glad that you like the latest Easy Grey! I use it every day now with pleasure. A new skin 'Easy White' is coming...

Thanks marko. The search field layout is repeated at bottom of the Tag-window. Because of design reasons I decided to keep the search-field rectangular. The layout of the search field now also corresponds with the 'Play Doctor' search field. Again design... It also makes the Frame/List area more special with the rounded corners. So many options...
