whats the latest working link for both the mega-me and the mini me skins?

Thanks!

Ditto, for the latest link to the skin.

Also, are the track backgrounds in the list alternating colors in the latest version?  I find it much easier to read through, than those where it is just one solid color.  If it's not, is there any easy way to modify the xml to set the tracks to alternate colors?

Hi!

As JC and NoCodeUK didn't had the time to do it, I updated the skin to work with build 246 (also made some small fixes)...

Install Brushed Metal Skin for MC 9.1.246 (Will not overwrite older versions)

Enjoy

This seems to be the most up-to-date d'load atm (thnx knickelfarz).

Very strange.  I think that I'm going to have to do an uninstall/reinstall with my laptop.  On my desktop, I get nice alternating colors for the lines... on the laptop... no go...  Weird.

Kiwi,
You probably need to turn on grid lines in your MC preferences. That fixed the alternating lines for me.

Hi,
I tried using the mini-me skin and when I right click on it, the context menu background color is black and I can barely make out the text  which is a darkish gray.  FYI....

[ashawley]

Yeah hakuin, I had the same problem.

I'm no skinner (as you'll soon see) but I at least was able to make the menus show up better.  They still are ugly though...

Since I've been asked for it, I'll paste the link to my mod of JC's skin in this thread:

I've actually also modified JC's mega-me (this time plundering the blue steel skin...). It matches the PN well. Here is a screenshot:

(If anyone can tell me how to make a skin install file, I'll gladly replace the zip...)

While I'm at it, here is the link to the Playing Now skin I made to match the Mega-Me (thanks to Drowbe for the inspirational model!  )

I've plundered Drowbe's work on the [banned] playing now and JC's great brushed metal skins. I mixed them together and here is the result:

This is great!  How do I install the Playing now skkin?

[aussie1]

never mind. I figured it out.

[ashawley]

Anybody able to work on a MC10 version?

I put together a similar skin based on JC's work, JRiver's own metal skin, and the now default "Blue Steel."  I just tweaked it to be happy with v10

It's in the forums under a post entitled "Newly remixed Skin"
