Thread: Brushed Metal Skin for Frodoplayer is up!

great skin, would you be doing your red glow also?

your skins rock man

im one of the 800x600 bunch as well

Look What you have started Febs....

Nice skin as always.

I really do like the brushed metal skin but find it hard to view during the day. I am thinking of undertaking a rework of your skin. Not the skinning part and organization but just in the graphics. I will post what i come up with

Cheers

The Stretched version looks a little blurry, but I get the general Idea and I like it.

It actually does look pretty good in 800x600.... Curious if you planned on skining the Apps sections? No big deal... Also I did somewhat notice that, although I think your skins are the BEST, they sometimes are hard to see during the day... The one you have posted right now actually is a bad *** night skin... Not sure what you had planned to change for the night one, but this one loooks AWESOME at night... Just wondering if you had any ideas for color changes maybe to a lighter/brighter color for daytime viewing.. I always noticed this when I used it in MediaCar... During bright days I would put MediaCar back to the default skin, because that sucker was bright and could easily be seen in any condition, but would always go back to yours when I could see it good... Just a suggestion..

Febs is the MAN!!!

Is this skin going to work for the Destinator add-in that Confused made for frodoplayer?

no... A skin would have to be made for the destinator plugin that matches Febs Brushed Metal... They are seperate programs...

I would actually love to see a Brushed Metal Skin to replace the Radar skin in the VOICES Navigation Module...

Yeah I will. But right now I think I am not too sure what to do with the apps section. I mean, there are all those buttons in it. What is Frodo going to do with them? Is the program going to put icons on those buttons (automatically with the chosen apps)? I'm not going to skin what I don't understand.

As you might have known from my website, I haven't finished my install. So I have only rough idea of how it's going to look. Do you think a Brushed Aluminium would look good in daytime? See below for sample:

No, Frodo is. I'm just the small fish tagging along other people's success.

I love that new brushed aluminum skin! Would be awesome to use it for daytime and the other brushed metal one for night. Great job!
