Think curved sliders are impossible in XMPlay?
Think again.
This skin isn't meant to be a good looking skin, just a "demo" to show people what's possible when skinning XMPlay. Of course the slider isn't
really curved, it's just a skinning trick. I'm sure some skinners already realised that this was possible, but I figured that since some people wanted an option like this, I'd give them this demo for now.
Basically, the trick is that the sliders all have "holes" around them, so that only a small portion of the actual slider is seen. These holes are filled in with the background from another panel, thus the holes cannot be seen. Ask if you've got any questions about that. Hey, if some more people show interest in this trick we might be able to persuade Ian to add some extra support for it.
A special thanks goes to KelticDanor, who made the original BASRRB bitmaps. I sort of "borrowed" them for this skin and coloured them orange. I just wanted something plain and simple, and so the Blue skin was perfect for that. The info window and mini-mode are almost exactly the same, but all the other panels have been changed around. Also, thanks goes out to Rah'Dick for some inspiration - he first had the "curved slider" idea in XMPlay with his "Blue Eye Skin", which was posted on this forum quite a while ago now. I guess it was never finished because of the bent slider restriction... (It's possible now that it could be done, but some things would have to be modified. For example, the left panel would pretty much have to be fixed.)
