SPL Mk2 Phred on the Outlook has been added.

No hurry, but let me know if it's ever ready.  :-)

It was ready and available some nine hours ago, when I wrote that it had been added ;-)

I'll take a look at supporting zips. It did look mildly painful when I glanced at the code but I should be able to figure it out.

I was initially not that fussed about it because quite a few of the skins I had looked at had the wrong settings in the INI file. If the user had to unzip the skin to fix the INI file they could just copy the unzipped folder into the skins folder.

But I underestimated Hiccup having a skin creation bonanza where the ini file won't need to be fixed by the end user. I'll try and get it into the next version.

Just curious, what sort of wrong settings have you observed in these VU meter skins?
Would they not also come to light when used in AIMP? (and receiving some corrective complaints there?)

Calming and very low key. I hardly notice it.

Mainly the minlevel setting. But admittedly I didn't check a large amount of skins, it was really just half a dozen and I think at least half were wrong. I'm not sure how AIMP uses that setting. I only use it to keep the needle at the MinAngle if the peak reading is below the MinLevel. I expect a lot of users don't check their accuracy so probably didn't notice any problems.

I posted into the other thread about the display issues with your skins, I'll have a fix for AL-65 Elemental in the next version but DejaVU Void Red is displaying correctly for me (no missing pixels on the right side). I expect you may have just experienced a glitch in the draw window which happens occasionally when resizing panels, altering the size slightly or restarting Musicbee usually fixes it.

DejaVU Compact has been added.

It's a vertical version of DejaVU that may work better in panels that have less horizontal space available.

Nice, but small graphical glitch on the top meter - the base(?) of the needle shows above the scale.


EDIT: Typo

Nice, but…

You should probably present your but to the plugin creator.

Is the fixed AL-65 Elemental available yet (if so where?)?  My favorite so far.

That's nice to hear. This VU meter has been a childhood love of mine, so I have put in some serious effort in creating this digital replica and trying to make it as a[c|cc]urate as it can be.
What is it that you think that needs to be 'fixed'?
Are you using the most recent version of the VUMeter plugin?

Why? Isn't the skin creator responsible for skin glitches? This is the only skin that shows this (minor) defect.

Besides, I'm not presenting my but to someone I haven't met personally.

I'm not sure (as you seem to be) that this is a VU meter skin glitch.
I don't think that it is.

I'm not interested in that either. So just keep your but to yourselves?   ;-)

I personally don't see anything "off," but I'm reacting to what BoringName said in his Reply #19 above:

"I posted into the other thread about the display issues with your skins, I'll have a fix for AL-65 Elemental in the next version.."

Doh!
I placed it in the correct folder on my computer, but then forgot to activate the Dropbox application that then uploads it.
It should work now?
Thanks for reporting phred.
