That will be absolutely goodlooking skin..

ToMy00, if I can remember right, you made Windows Media and RealOne skins too. Please can you update those skins, at least action windows, they are both great skins but we cannot use them with v10.

Looks gorgeous :)

Could you possible update ur other skins too so we can have a v10 of them so I can use them again? :)

Thanks!

Overall it's nice.

The rounded corners don't look quite right. It's as if there's too much darkness/shading on the graphics.

The dashes and start/end markers which make up the position bar do not look so great at higher resolutions and maximized. They stretch horizontally quite a bit.

I am all for subtle imagery, but the highlight state for items in the tree might be more effective if it had more contrast.

But these are quibbles - the skin looks very nice. Thanks for your efforts!

Have to ask.

Matching Mini-Me skin??

It'd make soooo beautiful a skin set :)

Esp. with a matching track info skin.

fantastic skin - the transparent 3D effect is really advanced and works really well.

just some feedback for you if you want it:

could you skin the Media Library column headers (album, artist, album)
at the moment they are just plain grey - not sure if that's the most esthetic solution. They are also a slightly different size than the arrows to scroll up along the right hand side of the screen, if you see what I mean - if they could be the same size that would be cool, Hopefully you can see what I mean, but I can probably post a screenpic if you need.

Keep it up, its going great - possibly the new default skin for MC10??

Marko, how do you get that Import list??

I'm dying for something like that :)

Post by: Marko on December 17, 2003, 06:03:05 am
Marko, how do you get that Import list??

I'm dying for something like that :)
Here ya go, a lot easier to do than to type, I can assure you.....

1. Create a playlist group called Import List.
2. Add the smartlists below to this new group. (Number them to keep them in order)
-------
1. Past 24 Hours --> [date imported]=<=1440
2. Past 7 Days --> [date imported]=<=10080
3. Past 4 Weeks --> [Date Imported]=<=40320
4. Past 8 weeks --> [Date Imported]=<=80640
-------
(I played around with adding ~sort=[Date Imported]-d but is irrelevant when in panes view)

3. Right click Media Library, create new empty view scheme, call it "Recently Imported"
4. Now make children for this view scheme, one for audio, image and video. (using the media type rule in each VS setup). Setup panes and columns most suited to the common tasks you perform on each media type after importing. Choose whatever you need, but the 1st column must be the playlist group "Import List"

That's the basics. Obviously, you set up the sort rules and columns etc. to suit the way you work. Also, selecting the parent, recently imported, will list all media types imported in the last 8 weeks, so if you like, you could set panes and columns for those too. If you want different timescales, just use a calculator, and the knowledge that 1440=24 hours and adjust accordingly.

This is a great "working" viewscheme, imho ;)

Also - You should do them as .mjp files for us super lazy folks so we don't have to then use explorer to install it :)

scrollbar up/down arrowboxes are still mis-sized compared to column headers

could the headers be some kinda clear bluish plastic like the other bits - just plain grey makes it look unskinned - if it is and I'm just being impatient, I apologise

ToMy00,

Love your pegasus skin.  I am just wondering when you are going to release a Playing Now plugin skin.  I think it would be a great idea.  That way people can have the same theme for both

Hey Nila, love your skin. Would like to test you Track Info Template, but up to now doesn't work (I'm just downloading aktual MC 9.1 via Modem... perhaps it helps). Hope there will be a MiniMe once...

One little request:
Can you do, what PixOS didn't do up to now: Make the playing file visible in "Action Playing Now Window"? It's impossible to see wich file is playing, when looking in Action Windows playing now tab. Also in Media Lybrary it's only possible to see it because of the icon. But when I scrolled to the right and the icon are out of visiblity... I don't know which file is playing  :'(

Thank you for spending your time for making us one of the best skins MC ever gets  8) !!

Post by: Marko on December 19, 2003, 11:08:45 am
Nila, your mjp is putting the files in \CSS Dream\CSS Dream\ which is why it's not working.

to all...
To fix this, browse to "your mc install directory\Visualizations\Track Info\CSS Dream\CSS Dream\" and move all the files in there up by one directory (into the first css dream), delete the empty dir, css dream, for the sake of tidiness, then it will work.

Very nice it is too, thanks for that Nila.

If you now make the font of the playing file different to the others (not playing files) so that I can see wich file is playing even in the action window, it would be perfekt!!!

NP with the skin effects in 9.1.316.
I'm very happy with your new skin. Very high usability.

Sorry I'm mourning again, but I liked the scrollbars up to beta 4 much better. Now (Beta 5) they are almost standard, before that it was something special.

k, Just e-mailed it to you :)

This is DEFINITELY my favourite skin!!

Any chance you could send me the original PS skins??

I'd love to do a few different colour variations of it by just changing the hue in the photoshop files.

An orange version would look great for a nice brighter look :)
