Title: BEER skin
Post by: Sarge on May 03, 2011, 03:41:16 AM
(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/5384/twilightpint.jpg) I took the color elements of a ice cold beer, along with the colors from a Budwieser Label and made this skin.

Sarge...

I used this skin three times and then switched to WTF.  Now I'm getting dizzy. 

Can't wait for the pizza.  Between the beer and the pizza I'll probably gain ten pounds just listening to music.

Nice job.  I raise a pint in your honor.

yes nice job sarge - i know from my own experience doing a couple of skins how much effort and skill is involved with getting it right.

If you are afraid of gaining weight just use the Watermelon skin.....It's non-fattening.

thanks for the comments and the laffs.

thanks also Steven for the comment

I just don't know how to express that how wonderful this skin is. But there is something that i don't like or personally speaking what i would change if i was the creator. The lyrics and details tab on the right that can be switched, you've coloured yellow for the highlighted one, but i guess the grey would be better for the one thats highlighted because when you have the 'details' highlighted it gives a sense that the chosen tab is 'lyrics' because it blends perfectly to the colour just below. Anyways, nice job and should be my default skin for weeks..:)

thanks for the comments,  and I don't disagree with you on the Tabs, and I tried to change them as you suggest. I'm having a hard time doing so, and it should be easy (but it ain't  :)  ) and when I get it done I will let you know.
thanks again

plesase do check the icons on the right. The toggling of shuffle icon to on and off needs to be worked upon as the user cannot distinguish between both

very nice skin  :)

You should add a kind of bell button to order the next beer. Maybe it works and someone brings one ;-)
Of course only a non-alcoholic one because of the younger users ;-)

Definitely very good work, well done!

Thanks for the beer.

hey Adson, thanks for the feedback and the comments.
I certainly don't advocate under-age drinking, but if you are of age you should consume as much as possible.  ;D

**Please note i was only joking, you should never drink and operate MusicBee at the same time  !

@Sarge
How did you change the color of the volume slider?
I'm still working on my metro-style skin. But i can't change the volume slider color.

If you mean the actual SLOT that the volumne button slides in, that is controlled by

<element id="Player.Background" bg="255,255,255" bg2="252,184,11" fg="THIS ONE" bdr="40,68,7"

Hi Sarge,

I've been using this sin for a couple of days and like it more and more  (especially in hot days  ;D) . Well done, thanks  :)
I'm going to use it as default for a few weeks, but I've some improvements suggestions if you don't mind:
1) make the highlight bar darker as the current one (pale yellow could be hard to see on the white background);
2) make highlight bar the same colour when browsing through Main Menu too
The current solution with the blue frames:
(http://i.imgur.com/VMzD7.png) (http://imgur.com/VMzD7) for marked entry doesn't really look great and it is a bit inconsistent IMHO;
3) when Player Control Panel is located in the Bottom Pane
the progress bar for currently played track is inconsistent with the other locations (yellow - brown instead of red - brown when Player Control Panel is located in other places).

Thanks  once again :)

I made the changes to the Drop Down Menu as you suggested, thanks for that feedback. I did keep the Main Player the same , as it was intentional the way I have it. BUT ..I made another file called VX Beer that has the change in the player for you. The file on Page 1 has only the menu changes..this is the  VX Beer  skin link.

Thank you very much, Sarge, for the improvements  :) And especially for the VX version  :o  8)

Is it possible that the highlight line for Main Panel and Now Playing List has the same dark-yellow frame as in the Drop Down menu  ???

I like the way you improved it and it would be great if a similar solution was applied to other places too. (The current one highlight color is a little bit to pale for me without the frame).

Actually they were the same color, I think because the menu has a border it makes it appear diffferent, so try this one I darkened the main panel and now playing highlite..this file only has your changes.

your welcome, hard to tell sometimes the same color changes on different monitors and systems.

i'm going to stick to making skins that people don't like...it's easier
