Thread: Release: Proximo's CF style skins

Open general.ini inside the skin folder and change ShowHeight to 800.

I love having the PSD's available. I found that with 100 or so albums to skip through with the audio browser up and down keys can be tedious. If there's and album that begins with the letter Z it can take a lot of button pressing to get down to it. So I made a quick little edit to add quicker alphabetic seeking buttons in the audio browser. If it's OK with b8bboi, and if anyone's interested, I can post the edited audio_browser files. Here's a preview.

That is nice. I would certainly like to see them.

I love it! Do you have to have the albums arranged in any particular way for it to work or does it pull from the Winamp library?

Cute dog.

excellent mod, ppgt94. Another suggestion would be switching the Search, Add etc. bttons with those ABC buttons. I think it'd look better.

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that the letter buttons are not the only change. I also changed the "down" color to red instead of green, turned off the background image in the left-side menu, turned down the opacity of the "dots", removed the date&time and replaced it with KBPS and track time remaining. Some fonts were changed as well. It will still plug right into your current skin folder but the exact style may not match exactly consistent with the original CFX. I just thought I'd mention that first incase anyone wanted to add the screen to their current skin. The changes are pretty easy to reverse, if you want.

Blue ZX3 said he would host the files so once I clean up the PSD I'll email them to him.

kbreenden,
I didn't change how the albums/songs are were listed. By default they were arranged by alphabetical order in the audio_browser screen (at least for me). The buttons just go to the corresponding letter in the list that shows up. Fot instance, if you press the button "DEF" once it will go the first D in the list. Press the same button again it will go to the first E in the list, and so on. That album list you see on that preview jpeg I posted isn't my real album list, it's just a bunch of empty folders with letter names to illustrate better how it works. I did changes on my laptop and my computer hosting my music was down.

The dog is my yellow lab when he was a puppy. Thanks!

b8bboi,
That's a goood idea, too. I'm too lazy right now to change it again but I'll do something with it soon. You provided and excellent base to work with. Thanks.

You want to talk about changes... here is the modifications I did for my Corvette and my H2. I love this skin and the base it provided for what I like to do with my car PC. IT HAS BEEN GREAT!!! I cannot say enough good things about it.





The only limit is your imagination.

Excellent! I have over 1,000 albums and it's virtually impossible to scroll through them, especially while driving.

can someone tell me why the frontend hangs everytime i try to view my music in ablum view?
