Title: Intention Skin
Post by: Mr ChriZ on August 18, 2006, 06:36:38 pm
A pre-release version of My Intention skin is now available to download here (http://uppit.com/5h64)

I've run out of time to complete it, till I get back in October.

Quite a few Thunderstorm graphics remain.
Also the continous buttons need finishing.

This skin requires MC12 as it has no stop button.
A stop button maybe added at a later date.

It is my intention to complete this skin when I get
back.  However if anyone gets bored I've left some random graphics
files here (http://uppit.com/VTxj):

I posted here with the idea the post could be moved to the
3rd party forum when MC12 goes live again.

There are some issues on this skin which I believe is currently beyond my power:
These are detailed here

A fairly recent screenshot of Intention is available here (http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=intentionskinrt6.png)

It's my first skin ever.  Feel free to point anything wrong out,
but don't expect a quick response.

I'm away till October!

To Install the skin simply unzip to the Mega Skins folder.

If you've not heard from me by November, I've been
eaten by a lion.  In which case please can someone
finish the skin for me  ;)

Very Nice....

Here are my thoughts...

I love the parts that are glowing.
For the Audio - Images - Video boxes, The white highliting seems a little to bright.... Maybe you can get rid of the highlite all together?
The library background is also a little to bright... Maybe a lite grey would be better?
I also LOVE the menus... Well done!!

Also Please keep the menu in the middle... It's cool



Have a good trip

Is it called "Intention" because you have every intention of finishing it someday? :P

The playback buttons hover effect is kind of funky... I'm trying to figure out what they're doing exactly. ;)

Add in a slightly faded  color underneath this menu section to separate it from the display view below.

Precisely  :)

lol like many funky things the effect kinda happened by mistake,
this is actually the toned down version.  I've tried my best to make it non
escher like!

Can't really do that because the menu's change in width, dependent
on whether you're in standard view/display view, or have extra toolbar options...
