Thanks for sharing :)

Post by: Bee-liever on June 08, 2013, 09:38:50 AM: Is this an expansion of the blue used in 'Blackout'?

Even if not, it looks very nice!
The subtle toning around the toolbar buttons is a great touch.
And the spectrum certainly reminds me of white caps on the ocean

yeah, pretty much. i wanted to make the deep blue the dominant colour. i had originally planned on making it a bitmap but i might keep that for the next one.

Post by: Iasc on June 09, 2013, 08:12:35 AM: updated...........

just fixed a few oversights with the highlighting, no major changes.

Post by: VX on June 09, 2013, 11:14:26 AM: Thank you very much for the update :) The skin looks really great.

I like in particular:
1) an original splash screen and Artwork (!!!);
2) mix of colours;
3) scrollbars look (!);

However, I can't get used to green buttons, progress bars etc.
How about changing green to blueish or violet (or maybe similar effect as for the scrollbars would be possible) ???
It would reduce amount of colours used and would be consistent with the rest of the skin.

i wasn't sure about the green myself. i will play around with it a bit and post an update.

IMHO the changes are good step forward. I like all that I've noticed.

I'd consider changing green to violet though. Plus, consider unifying colour for Rating Stars in Main Panel view: gold in the Control Panel and blue/violet in Main Panel (too dark in this case, IMHO they should have more contrast with the background).

Title: Re: Ocean Deep
Post by: Bee-liever on June 09, 2013, 02:26:32 PM: preferred the green in the visualiser before, definitely more ocean-like.
maybe have a look at some ocean pics for a lighter, blue-er green?

That could be a good direction.

I preferred the lighter colour for highlighting elements (violet in older version). I think the dark blue currently used is too dark for the background and can be hardly visible with some monitor settings.

IMO it is much better now. Especially the spectrum has a very interesting, ocean-like set of colours. Thanks for the update :)

BTW. Scrollbar colour in the Help/About MusicBee window is inconsistent with how it looks in other places.

glad you like it and thanks for the feedback!

Post by: Bee-liever on June 10, 2013, 01:47:04 PM: I like what you have done.
The highlight is a little to purple for me to go with the nautical theme, but it looks good

One thing I did notice
<element id="Controls.InputControl.Modified" fg=
must be matching the default element background colour as it doesn't show up in Album Auto-Tagger

Post by: psychoadept on June 26, 2013, 05:32:41 PM: It's probably not obvious. :) Try the instructions here: http://musicbee.wikia.com/wiki/Skins

Edit: also, the .zip file is the very last line in the first post. It should also be available through the wiki page.

the fault is mine SpicyPete. i forgot what it like to be a new user so i will add instructions to my skins and theater modes.

i will also add a link to the relevant wiki page so new users will know the can see all the available skins/theater modes on one page.
