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.

[TommyB]

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.

Thanks
Now I have to think about how to manage this...

[TommyB]

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.

I'd love to try it, but where's the link? (Hopefully I'm not blind)

[raina]

This page means this page. How very interesting. I need to take this skin for a spin.

[Brian]

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...

[Brian]

Here are two Winamp skins which I'd love to see adapted for XMPlay (please):

I live in hopes...

[Grindill]

The only two I plan on trying are:

Akura GT Remix

and

Cthulhu

It's already a tedious enough process with these...

Very professional. I remember seeing one with a similar theme for XMPlay, though...

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?

[oddiophile]

I'd *love* to see an updated version of my favorite skin.

[TommyB]

Yes, definitely!

Any chance in developing the WA 2 skin as well?

Well, ok, I'll have a look at it
Anything else to edit except for the additional EQ bands? (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?

Basically only the additional EQ bands.
v2 has a bit different look and color scheme, as well as a different vis bars

Ok, thanks
I will see what I can do in the next days. Maybe I create a v2 skin, too. Lets see
Hope Ian will support me again
