that is playing now, locked.. guess a lot of people do that nowadays, the locking i mean... the last two versions that is. very handy for adding or removing tracks from playing now.

Looks neat, but what happens to the tree when you open the tag window? (a full one one that goes 50 / 50 with the tree for space)
I attempted something along these lines a while back, but quickly gave it up as a bad idea when the full tag window squished the tree background image, making it look horrible. I was unable to work around it, not with margins nor matrix drawing...
Did you solve this little problem? and if yes, care to share? :)

it was also not my first experiment. i dont have a trick. the funny thing about the tree is that with the action window closed (or as the tree popup in coverview) it looks more like a lime tree, with the tag window open 50/50 its more like a oak. it is possible to make it look bad, like when you pull the tree over to the far right site, but in normal use it seems to hold up well.

Ahh, ok. Will be interesting to test a release version.
Those player buttons are cooler than a cool a thing!! Nice work there.
I've not had a new skin idea in ages, but then I've been a little distracted with my new camera and Lightroom. I swear as I get older, learning curves get steeper :(

Interesting skin Gappie, any idea when you will post one for download?

Is there a way to customize my panes view to show playing now on the right like you did? I tried customizing the views but couldn't reproduce this.

of course there is way.. not sure where you lost the way.. so here is what i think is important to get there.
in option>general>features make sure that split view is enabled
in options>start up>start up interface set location to 'last location'.
now go to view>split view, and set it to 2 views.
make sure you put playing now in the second view.
go to views again and lock the second view.
does that help or did i miss the bottle neck.
:)

That did it. I was trying to accomplish this in customize view instead of realizing that I could do this with split views. Not thinking to clearly as my 8 month old daughter has an ear infection and has not allowed us to sleep in the last day. Thanks for your help. And by the way, I love the skin.

Lol i haven't noticed the buzzy bee for the seek bar I LOVE IT :D
-
So how do I get my hands on this skin? I don't see it under plug in manager and no link in this post. Please can I play too?
-
gappie haven't released it yet he need to polish it before to release.
-
I see. I thought even though it was not released, it was released somewhere for testing.
No biggy. I will patiently await it's arrival!
-
thanks for the interest... im still playing around. trying different icons and stuff. 8)
but when someone wants to take a look... its here: http://www.gappie.nl/fotos/SummerHeat.zip

i call it 'summer heat'

Got the new skin to work. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
I can not wait for my Acer Aspire 9810 to come back from Acer Repairs, to see how it will look on a 20.1 inch screen.
I hope to also test the whole JR suite of software on a Mitsubishi 82 inch TV later.

Hi Gappie! Just wanted to give you some feedback on what I see. First off, pretty darn cool! Of course I was not aware it was a mini skin too, so that was a double bonus!
I love the icons - birds, clouds, etc.
One thing I noticed - If I move my "middle" cloud, which should be the volume level adjustment, it slides ok. However depending on where I place it, it also seemingly click whatever is right above it. So I have either stopped playback (if on top of the "right" cloud) or paused it, due to being near the "sun".
I love everything else with it and appreciate your work!
-
thanks chirpp,
you are right. i tried to lay those icons a bit over each other because, i liked how it looked. but i guess its a bit overdone. i have to fiddle around a bit with that. taking it away totally takes a bit of the fun away though.
thanks again for the kind words.
:)
