True, but that particular song, "You Better Swim" is by Motorhead!

Jersey cows are a golden brown colour.

Yes for MC9.0, he never changed it to work on later versions

That was the best skin, it was fun

I also wanted to see some animated skins, like Gel where if you click on a button it might shake like real gel.

Or electrical pulses running thru Circuits

Maybe With Button Sounds

Farm Theme:

Play: Mooo
Stop: A Chicken Screeching
Pause: Oink

I think sometimes many people want something fun, and not a Corporate Strait laced Skin.

The Question The Ever Present Would It Increase Sales? I think It Would

Post by: Alex B on September 15, 2007, 02:58:17 pm: Thanks. I already bought the SpoongeBob soundtrack album so that I have matching music... ;)

I noticed some text color problems:

1. When the the text cursor is inside the Name field the text color changes to white on white.

2. In my opinion AW > Tag is a bit illegible because of the too low color contrast.

In addition, Jelli would deserve nice colorful custom icons. I could try to create a matching set of icons, but using a custom icon set seems to be a problem in MC12. Ideally each skin should be able to automatically load a separate set of custom icons. Please check my replies in the Standard View Skinning Tutorial (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=41727.msg288368#msg288368) thread.

Edit

I just noticed that the bottom toolbar buttons in my screenshot are almost invisible and also the status line text could have a more legible color.

Post by: Shelly on September 24, 2007, 07:37:44 pm: I like this skin a lot, but like Alex am having some text color problems. I've tried adjusting brightness and contrast, increasing and decreasing color intensity, but cannot see text in message boxes.

Post by: PeterS on September 25, 2007, 09:25:34 am: Shelly,
The skin issues that Alex mentioned have been fixed. Version 1.0.01 will be posted on the downloads page - hopefully, today.
