IT JUST HAD TO BE DONE. Brushed Metal for Centrafuse 1.4 - Page 2

RPM_VR4 · 08-02-2005, 01:40 PM

I used it on the drive to work today. I love it, but it's kinda hard to see on my crappy Lilliput durring the day. I can't wait for Brushed Aluminum for a Day Skin and this one will definatly remain my Night Skin. David: If you are reading this, I think fans of these two skins would really like an "auto-switch skins at 7pm and 6am" feature (or something with configurable times).

I noticed 1 error. When you embed an ecternal program and in full screen mode, the keyboard/close buttons are blank, but the buttons still work, just cant see the words...

sure you can, they're just really light

In the skin.xml file, swap these tags around from:

<FONTCOLOR>#FFFFFF</FONTCOLOR>
<SECONDCOLOR>#818181</SECONDCOLOR>

to look like:

<FONTCOLOR>#818181</FONTCOLOR>
<SECONDCOLOR>#FFFFFF</SECONDCOLOR>

The tags for the two buttons are found in 'external apps/buttons/OSK/' and 'external apps/buttons/close'

lol you even showed me the link....

emdzey01 · 08-02-2005, 07:35 PM

*** UPDATE ***

1.02 - Added brushed metal effect to external apps menu. "Keyboard" and "Close" text should be readable now. Thanks for pointing that out, Cheekz185

previous updates :
1.01 - fixed pause button and slider bugs

download new link as needed.

great job on the skin!

i was wondering if its possible to create different icons on the player controls and also change the font of the text...(kinda hard to read as oppose to RR's font text)

emdzey01 · 08-02-2005, 07:52 PM

why dont you show me the link to the roadrunner skin that you like so much, so i'll know what you mean by better icons

thanks

emdzey01 · 08-03-2005, 03:06 AM

*** FINAL UPDATE ***

1.03 - Re-saved some png files for them to have the resolution of 96 dpi, from 72 dpi. This will fix any more re-scaling issues on different screen resolutions. This means that the skin SHOULD now behave like the original.

let me know if there are any more bugs to work out. as far as i know, there wouldn't be any more issues.

link on first post now updated. download as needed.

thanks for your support. your feedback is always appreciated.

any chance of some coloured outer button glow, if you have PSD's with buttons on a seperate layer from background its dead easy to do in PS. Too me about 2 hours

though to split this one into suitable layers to add glow to these below... There's many more to do though.

each individual button glows when activated for those who don't know.
