New Skin comming up

TheKingPlaza · 01-18-2005, 03:03 PM

.. with a little help from you all??

Hey, I am planning to make my (FP1.09) skin also available for Centrafuse.
The skin is discussed here..

.. and of course the red one!!

But I opened the skin.xml file but holy crap

3000!!! lines of xml code...
That would probably take years for me.. Just after learning to skin for Frodoplayer..
Is it possible to cut it up in pieces to make it more readable? for the time being of cource..

Maybe someone could give me a hand?

Are you looking at the new skin.xml from 1.1? It is alot cleaner than the 1.0 version...

If you open it with a program like xmlspy it is fairly easy to read... I could see it being overwhelming in a text editor...

Of course the latest version, 1.1 :P
I guess you are indeed the right person to help me along the way..
The must be a lot of changes in my psd but formaly the must be less unchainged (is that spelled correctly??)
For some screens I have to merge the to screens together. Some buttons would be placed at the side (left) in the same style as the player buttons.

To the point..
Could you give me (and the rest of us) some advice to manage the xml file?
Perhaps another editor as UltraEdit? <- guess not

Making the default, plain screens is a lot of work.. 60!!

But I think it pays.. The player is very nice, many complements for the hard work..

The .xml file may be large but verry easy to read.. It's getting somewhere now..

TheKingPlaza: Alot of those images aren't neccessary anymore. All the global nav buttons are read from the images in the global folder, or atleast they will. I didn't completely finish up the skin. I will have it all finished up in version 1.2...
