Brushed Skin Needs Some Editing (Bigger Buttons)

**Chita79** · 02-16-2005, 01:49 PM

is there anyone here who can just keep the style of the brushed look, but in the music section make the play controls bigger.... perhaps making the other buttons smaller, and having the play, forward, and back buttons bigger? Those buttons are TINY and you can easily get in an accident trying to hit the right button! thanks!

nice i like the big buttons on play area can you make one with silver glow around when you hover over buttons? it will go nicely with the brushmetal colours.

is it just me or does anyone think the "mixer" button is useless in the music and video screens? Is there anyway you can make like a button that says maybe "MIN" inside it instead? btw, i really like what youve done! Does the mute button change when you hit it? i think it would be nice if the button looks pressed when its muted, and "unpressed" when not muted.
i would def. like a copy when its ready

Just edit your .skin files for video and audio player and change the line that says "MIXER" into "MINIMIZE" .. that will allow you to minimize it.. (although, when playing video, I'm not quite sure). Also, the last version had the minimize/taskbar disabled by accident (oops).

If you simply make the button "pressed" when on mute, it will "reshape" itself into normal when you hover/press other buttons -- this is because RR needs to update the button that is being "hovered" .. you can make the button blink instead..

yeah, i already edited the .skin file to Minimize and ive had that for a while now, i was just curious if someone can edit the actual skin jpgs to have a button saying "Min "instead of the mixer button

but i still think that making the player controls bigger is the biggest concern for most people..

i'm working on similar right now with those larger buttons / blinking mute, slider..

i'm also looking to release separate front menus with 'radio button swapped for xxx'

just give us a minute or three.. it'll get sorted.
