Very nice Winamp 5 Skin


Recommended Posts

axialix ... take your time, for such an awesome skin cannot be rushed, we appreciate all your work and understand you have other commitments (sp?) too.

Either way, we love your work thus far (even though I already said that)

Long Live clearONE

Yes, there will be a final release.  I'm working on it right now, but it's rather slow because of my busy schedule.  I've already added a few items (main window freeze, notifier stay on top option, etc.) and given it a totally new look, but there's still a lot left to do.

I do want to thank everyone for the continued interest.  You won't be disappointed.  :)

A totally new look?

How totally new is this new look?

Kidding - I'm sure it'll be great :D

Can't wait to see what you have in store for us

I do remember it Barisko, but check out the Mac OS X Panther skin by Martin Deimos: http://www.martin.deimos.de.vu/

It retrieves covers from the web as well as your hard drive, so I plan on using something similiar for clearONE. Also, you can select an image to use if no cover is available. How does that sound?

The old graphics were pretty basic, so I've tried to be creative with the new ones. After all, it isn't called "clear"ONE for nothing.

The skin is giving me a fatal script error atm, but as soon as I get that fixed I'll post up an update. I'm devoting an hour a day to this now, but still progress is slow. :(

holy moly that has got to bet he best skin i tried to achieve something like that with foobar but with no luck this sure got it. :D

just a question when i change the song and everything winamp shows the album cover but when i user the coverart there is no image.. is there anyway the image it shows when playing a song is loaded up for the coverart as well?

Also is it possible to make the playlist (window) transparent?

:edit: is there an easier way to have album art for certain albums as i have a few mp3s which dont ahve album art but i can get them fromt eh internet and i dun have my mp3s organized as you have in your screenshot there all in 1 big folder :( so is there anyway?

Nope. You pretty much have to have it the way shown in Axialix's screenshot for the cover art to work. Otherwise you can use 3rd party programs to show coverart for mp3s that are not organised by albums.

As for playlist transparency, go through Window Settings->Opacity and set it at what you'd like.

ssssssssst, here's a secret for ya.... don't tell anybody else.... :)

Axialix is still working on the skin... and it's getting better and better:

post-110624-1128271777_thumb.jpg

and he is planning to add "web-cover-art" feature :happy: . In other words: one day the skin will be able to get ANY cover from the web.

So when that day comes there's no need to place/rename cover-art in the right folder!

what do you mean?

Do you mean you want a visual style like this winamp skin?

thread cleaned

as for making the taskbar like that, it's not going to be easy. technically, the xp theming engine by default cannot handle per pixel/layered transparency (which, as i understand it, windowblinds 5 will be able to do). so you won't be able to get that effect by default.

you have several options. you can use another app that will add that effect, or you can create the "transparent" taskbar bitmap and replace it in the vs (e.g. create the effect manually).
