Changed thread title. Before: "[solved] Some skinning questions" Hi  After playing around a bit with your Bass library I have give XMPlay a try. Really great Winamp is gone now ^^ The main thing I miss is the Winamp skin (the old one) so I created one by myself ... or I tried. After serveral problems using the palettes without spamming my system with acrobat products I got foreward, but: I missed the button for switching minimode (I know, doubleclick works) Only a really small thing. The core problem is I dont find a way to open the Equalizer (Aka output panel). Like in winamp I like to have a button placed in about the middle of the main dialog to open it, and the X to close it, but on the main mask I havent found a index for it. Documentation doesn't helped me much in this. And is it possible to use bitmaps for numbers in time display instread of a font? Would be great, because I can't implement my lcd font Thanks |

Just in case you've somehow missed it, there's already a Winamp-like XMPlay skin, called Nullsofted. Both the skin and its source are available on the support site.

I know and I have it, but it is not really one of my favorites. I want to have one as near as possible as the original like that what I have finished already: (Images removed, old) Anything works except the EQ button. Havent found a skin where the 'openers' are placed like here :/ |

The Equalizer (as well as the small playlist) is a slideable panel of the main window in XMPlay, not a separate window like in WinAmp. So there's no button to turn it on/off, you can merely un/hide it under the main panel. Since the players handle this one differently, there's gotta be some adaptation. You could make a hole in the main panel where there's the XMPlay icon and make the same corner of your EQ panel draggable.

Finally I got it (named it "WAClassic"). Skin is avaible on this page if anyone else as me and 2 of my friends will have it I prefer to use clear type if avaible (Win XP and above) together with NoTenths disabled. Some Chars are not implemented in the used font, but its free and nice I think. Preview: (I deleted the old images above)  Mini Mide  Main & Info / Playlist (click to enlarge) Thanks for your help Edit (06/07/2010): Fixed screenshot links |

Yes, this is solidly put together, with very good functionality. Unfortunately for me, I never liked that pale purple colour.

If you're going to adapt a WinAmp skin for XMPlay, then your best bet is to check out the Machina source on this page. (links to the skins section of the unofficial XMPlay support site) I think the design is about as close to WinAmp 2.0 as any of the other skins I've seen thus far. I'm thinking about adapting a couple myself, if the original authors don't mind. We'll see how that goes... |

Well, I haven't had a look at this for a long time. Now I heard about new features in XMPlay which my skin doesn't provide.
Just a question: Anyone interested in an update?

Yes, definitely! Any chance in developing the WA 2 skin as well?  |

(I haven't had a closer look to the new skinning guide or to new skins yet) WA2... I haven't used WinAmp for a long time (since I have tried XMPlay). Whats the difference between the v2 and v3 skins? It was only the color sheme, or not? |

It means: just do it, cook that skin well and don't forget to add some spices - we're hungry  |

Expecting coal in our stocking, are we? can't translate this, sry Ah, sorry. On Christmas eve, children hang up stockings traditionally on the fireplace mantle. In the morning the girls and boys who were "good" during the year awake to find various treats and toys stuffed into their stocking. The other ones (who were "bad" during the year) had no treats or toys and received only a lump of coal. So, if you thought you might have been bad during the year, you would be worried that you would awake to find a lump of coal. Does that help? |
