Title: Mellon Remix
Post by: psychoadept on May 26, 2013, 08:01:04 AM
This is my rework of Bee-liever's Scamelon skin, based on the original Mellon skins for Media Monkey by DreadM.

UPDATE, 4-8-16: I've done a big overhaul.  I referred back to the original Mellon skins and took advantage of new MB skinning elements to capture more of what I liked about them.

This skin will look best with either tabs in the caption bar OR the panel header bar hidden.  If you want the same look in a another configuration, it's easy to do.  Just let me know.

Mellon Remix 3.0 requires MusicBee 3.0+.  The 2.x versions of the skin are still available here:

Classic version: https://app.box.com/s/1hek3quqh0rgo9o0wnud42w4b7fps19a
*Rounded window borders
*Scrollbar arrows

Modern version: https://app.box.com/s/2ti68kr2hqscjsdudy0d
*Square window borders
*No scrollbar arrows

---

Regarding the icons, I happened to make a lucky find while looking for custom toolbar icons.  If you'd like to have matching left panel and toolbar icons for this skin, you can find the full set here: http://dryicons.com/free-icons/preview/pixelistica-blue-icons/

Thanks to Bee-liever, redwing and jistme for help in making this work.  Comments, questions, requests, etc welcome!

Nice, you've gotten my brain in a twist.
I think I don't like the colors, but I do like the skin???

Well done!

Ah. You do make it hard scampbll  ;)

I like what you've done with the skin, especially the violet border, and the work on the icons. Truly inspired re-use of the splash screen for missing artwork.
I'm just not sure on the stripes  :D

You do know that you're now gonna have to do the bitmap player version as well   ;D

Thanks!  I don't know why, but I'm attached to the stripes.  Maybe just cause I was used to them.

The bitmap version... I know, I know... ;)  I doubt I'll really feel done until I do it.  Which is ironic, since I typically use the sidebar player.  It's the principle of the thing.

I'm also intrigued to see what your re-imagining of it will look like!

All I can say is tasty ;)

just a qu: How did you get the "Details", "Lyrics" buttons to appear above the right hand side [ "Playing track" ] (http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=9776.msg58288#msg58288) header ? If I select "customise" via right click on the "Track Information" (which I have where you have those buttons) and enable Lyrics, I cannot see them.

It's hard to know without a close look at your settings, but this might help you figure it out: http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Right_Sidebar

Thank you.

Major update with new elements: Modern Mini Player, Now Playing List & Column Browser, miscellaneous minor adjustments.  Changed Compact Player colors to match the mini player and the main player panel.

Let me know if I overlooked anything that needs to be adjusted.

Big thank for the skin. Its not only nice and thorough but the file is very well organized so it was easy to make some modifications for myself. I made an eye friendly subversion  ::)

Revised original skin to use rounded window borders and scrollbar arrows.

Added a preliminary Modern version which uses square window borders and no scrollbar arrows (and new layout).

Let me know if anything in the new skin looks wrong.  It's primarily intended for tabs in caption bar.

Update to modern skin.  Restored original top border color, a few minor tweaks.

Updated scrollbars in both skins, squared tabs in the modern version, plus a few minor tweaks to make them match better.  Links are the same.

Edit: Whoops, overlooked the column browser.  Fixed now.

Thanks to phred for pointing out that the wavebar elements in the flat player were missing.  That's fixed now.

Try it now.  I put it in the folder, but for some reason Box Sync had been turned off.

yes its different now. However it might not get included in the final release package depending on whether any serious bugs get reported in the next couple of days
