XEON - Skin Preview

**Mattkins99** · 03-27-2006, 12:28 PM

WOW, this is a great skin. I'm filling in the blankes with functions from the BMV2 skin. I can't wait for this to be finished. Is anyone else having problems with color tool and the shutdown function?

When I load the color skin, the skin loads, but the color.exe program does not, and when I click Shutdown, nothing happens. I have to exit and use the start bar to shutdown the computer.

Hi m8.. I've not done anything on it for a week since coming down with the flu.. the color skin selector path will be wrong if it doesnt load.. goto the xeon skin folder and open up menu.txt .. at the bottom you will see cpath= .. make sure this holds the correct path to the skin folder. As for the exit screen, only the exit button is mapped at the moment I never did the others yet.. sorry if this is causing a problem at the moment.

Yeah the customdl defo works as I'm using it at the moment, just was going to add a dl slider. .. Congrates on your Flash skin.. it looks awesome. I noticed that you have a loading bar, is this where you are waiting for the array to be filled up ? if it is.. how are you measuring this and also doing it. I'm just doing mine on the fly, but it lags like hell when browsing.

I'm polling the CUSTOMDL/PL rather than constantly monitoring them. The loading stuff is just to kill the time it takes RR to update the label. It only takes one frames time at 20 frames per second to load the string into an array so I choose to go that direction. The code is myArray=CUSTOMDL.split("DIR"); or something like that. I'll send you my files when I'm done and maybe we could combine ours to make a sort of platform for others to modify/add to.

OH, BTW, I'm running this on a Dell 300m laptop (1.2ghz intel with 1gig ram) and it's running great. No performance issues so far at all.

Yeah I used this one on the audio_player but things werent updating quick enough, just converted the browser to use this way and its lots better, very quick now and I have made the list scroll with my slider now as well so it updates as you move.. I just need to sort out the abc bar now as all thats changed.

Hy

This is a amazing Skin, very thanks for this works.

I have a question about the Skin:

Where can i change the Background Picture?
When i change to my picture i see only red.

And to optimize the Skin:

Can you add a minimized button?
In another skins it is optimal when i will change to desktop and here the music too.

Many thanks for your work

to change the background picture (car) then just change the background.jpg in the skin folder. To change the colour you will need to check your path in the menu.txt .. at the bottom (cpath) OR just double click on Colour.exe in the skin folder.

As for a minimize button.. thats already done. Also done a little loading screen and added a slider to the audio browser that updates in real time (when you move the slider) and also shows the first two letters of the name at the top of the 7 in the list ( see pics )

I want to do the gps and then head on over to the mixer, but I doubt I will get it looking as good as dinasty.. as his looks awesome.

ok, thanks

i change the background picture an now i have no picture. I have a Red color.
How change this???????????

**CdRsKuLL** · 03-31-2006, 01:41 AM

your picture must be the same size / name as the original one as it loads it at a certain place. I will change this in the next release to load any size and it will autosize it.

o b.t.w Welcome to the forums :-)
