:: vS :: AMPed viSUAL STYLE beta TWO


Recommended Posts

OK, been messing with this theme for a few minuts, and there's only one little thing that jumps out and bothers me.

When a window is selected, it matches the winamp blue color. But when it is not selected, it turns a dark gray. I just tested the other color schemes, and I only have this problem on the "Blue" one.

Top window selected.

No window selected.

PS: The theme looks fantastic. I can't wait for the bitter lemon color scheme.

OK, I found one other little thing. :)

The state of the minimize/maximize button doesn't change to indicate what clicking it will do.

Exactly! And this is one thing I bothers me. True its just like Winamp, but I guess people would live a little difference there so long as it is for the better.

Would really love it if all those indicators (-, + , X) could be made a little more bigger ... as in .. propotional to the size of the title bar and also indicative of its present status.

With the Progress bar looking so neat now, this is just about all I could ask for ... that is besides the possibility of getting down the unzipped size a lil down.

Cheers

yeas it does - at least in APMextra scheme. and though its a bit hard to see i have no complaints (see below)

compact start menu, new minimalistic scheme based on AMPextra, new progress bars

UBER COOL :woot::

thanks DiEMOS i love that scheme !

ps. too bad about hover color on logoff, but since you can do nothing who cares.

I don't like xperiment, it's like a "Winamp Longhorn" scheme x_x

Anyway, hope that the taskbar and windows get coloured for each scheme in a next release ('cause the only thing chinging on each scheme is the titlebar and menu colors, so if everything but that is gonna be gray in all schemes, they don't look like the Winamp themes :pinch:)

Yeah, I was thinking of this too.

Nice VS! What is the best program to use for this VS?

what do you mean?

the best program to use with this style would obiously winamp 5

(i actually use a skin made for winamp2 to make it look like modern skin - it is a lot fasted then the real modern skin)

and if you are asking which program to use to apply the style - dont use any - jsut change uxtheme.dll to a patched one and presto - you can chanege it in display options. do a search - there is tons of info out there on how to change visual styles in xp

hopefully this answers your question (if it did not i have no idewa what are you asking :blink:

Been using this theme since it first came out and heres my bug report:

-scrollbar in firebird is glitched

-the quicklaunch icons look too high while the taskbar tray icons (on the right) look too low

-tabs seem to cut off the ends of other tabs in some cases

suggestions :) :

-compact takbar

-compact start menu

-larger min,max,close buttons

-slightly less margin around the start button

-maybe a slightly smaller tray opener button

besides those few bugs/suggestions this theme is wonderful.. im loving CityNight

HERE IT IS.....another version -- Check first page.

post suggestions and bugs below ;)

edit: oh yea... whoever wants to have compact menu version... i need someone to host it....so PM me.

enjoy...

hahahaha markus..... that's a good one.

@frease: I dunno if your comment was sarcastic but if it wasn't this skin is based on the default WinAmp 5 skin.

    • I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.
    • When you have only lies and blood libels to present, you've lost. And how hard is it for you to look up BBC and AP? You hate Jews, just admit it.
    • This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
