hello xmp user  

at first i was going only to update the level bitmaps but after playing around i decided to make big changes and a crazy idea was born of a clean version as well which i call 'gold edition' ... so here's a preview of the big changes  

i'm still working on the 'three floors' variation for the normal black and the clean version.

greetings

[Keltic Danor]

Looking very nice indeed. Especially the gold one.

[Cypress]

thanks Keltic your help was very usefull about the gold one i specially find difficult making kind of 'white clean' versions, darker ones are easier to make  

here are the sources for both 'the black' and 'the gold' version... it uses 99 bars which i believe are the maximum bars available.

[Ian @ un4seen]

Yep, the white/gold one looks particularly nice!

Regarding spectrum bars, the limit should be 999, but I haven't actually tried using that many

[Zarggg]

Liking the black one very much. Even better with the spectrum. I love that kind of eyecandy.

[I'm an idiot - still looking nice ]

[Cypress]

nice you like it. here the 'three floors' variation preview..



greetings

[Cypress]

OK i've finished the skins ...

new cool stuff are available like rating icons besides the already known visual spectrum ... also a new skinconfig option for skin makers

font_mainalign = 0 ;info area alignment (0=centre, 1=left, 2=right)

all of this plus some bonus skins





Bonus skins

Entel v1.0
Entel is the largest Telecommunications company here in Bolivia, the skin uses its institucional colors and logo of the company


Yesterday's Newspaper v1.0
basically it's a tribute to the greatest salsa singer ever Héctor Lavoe, the feeling of the skin is 'nostalgia'.
the name of the skin is due to the famous song 'periodico de ayer'
the beautifull lyric and the translation can be found here

the final sources here

greetings and enjoying 'the music'

[Zarggg]

What about for those of us who don't care about Ratings? Will that just be a giant block of wasted space on the skin?

[Chinese Sausage]

The ratings can be disabled in the Playlist and the Library
Nice looking skins by the way!

[Jimmy Neutron]

I didn't find Yesterday's Newspaper or Entel in the download.  Did I miss the right file to download? 

[Philippe]

I'll grab the Aiwa v2.1 as soon as it's compiled... Very nice!

[Cypress]

salu2 cordiales

[Chinese Sausage]

Gracias por los nuevos skins Cypress.
They are much appreciated

[Jimmy Neutron]

Thanks Cypress.  The skins look really good.

On the Aiwa skins, the volume knob doesn't go all the way to 11 ....

[Jimmy Neutron]

Hi Cypress,

I was playing with the different Aiwa 2.1 skins and I noticed that the gold ones have a different default "power" button, so the mouse-over highlight brightens the wrong place.

Thought you might like to know...

[Cypress]

Hello Jimmy

i check the power btn and test it with one of my favourite tools called 'FastStone Capture' and as you can see in the images below everything seems OK look at the normal and hover state Y position as well as the btn dimensions (i changed the scaler lit to green for testing) both Themes are 'functioning' as expected




there's been also some enhancenments that i made weeks ago but will rlease it when i complete the same with the gold one
in the mean time here's the black one

[Jimmy Neutron]

I can see that the highlight is in the same place on both the gold and the black.  The problem is that the black has a big (high) power button, but the gold one has a short power button that is low in the placement.  So, the highlight is in the right place for the black, but the highlight doesn't match where the short gold power button is.

Actually, looking at it closer, I can see where the gold power button is much taller, but because the top half of the power button is the same color as the entire face of the skin, it disappears, and it looks like the button is only half-high.

My mistake.  Sorry....
