Title: Mega Skin V11 : MC Avenger (beta 1.2)
Post by: Beatnik62 on July 12, 2005, 10:19:54 am
Here is another skin I am working on. I will call it MC Avenger. Most of the skin is taken from the WindowBlinds skin Avenger made by MikeB314 (Mike Bryant, his site -> http://www.skinplant.com/library.cfm?lib=1&skinid=185). I post this skin with his permission. Only the playerbar was made by myself, but this one was really my absolutely first skin I've made.

Feedback yes

comments : more cooler skin, particularly it does not make me happy it problems with the search window gives. 

criticism : that is a small error the line looks strange nevertheless. (by extras)

Amusingly it no so good skin of more jriver gives aruba is probably ugly!

Hi Bytestar,

thanks for your reaction. I see the top part of the mainframe need a little modification, but remember the whole skin is inspired by the WindowBlinds skin Avenger from Mike Bryant. He was it, who made this line on the top to a part of the design and I will leave it in.

Maybe my English isn't that good (it's not my main language), but this sentence I don't understand  .... does it mean, that the MC Avenger skin is worse ?

First of all thank you for your skins.

I really like MC Avenger and Aluminium is also a very cool skin  8)

What i'm missing in MC Avenger is the small 'Menu'-icon that appears in some items of the action-window.
In other skins (also in Aluminium) it is located top left of the action-window.

Beatnik can you shorten the line somewhat? 
then it would be perfect!
correct the small menu button in action window left is missing!

I am not an expert, then I mean it.

Thanks DJ_Hazelwood,

it's just a tiny typo in the main.xml which cause the problem with missing button.

Section   <ACTIONWINDOW>
Line        <Entry Name="Tools" Bitmap="(ActionWindow_Tools.png" .....
change to
               <Entry Name="Tools" Bitmap="ActionWindow_Tools.png" .....

It will be fixed in the next beta.

@bytestar

OK. now it's more clear what you want to say. I wouldn't say that aruba is ugly. It's more matter-of-fact .... with less details, but not bad. It's clear and easy to use and that's what people sometimes want, you know. :)

Hi bytestar,

thanks for investigating my MegaMe skin so accurate. I never saw this small buttons appearing on the screen, so I never noticed that there was a wrong name in my photoshop master design file. However, you found it and in the current version (beta 1.2) it's fixed.

Thanks,

Beatnik
