Teknik v1.0 & v2.0 - RELEASED ... - Page 7

Teknik v2.1 Transparent is now released (at least for Beta testing) . Files for download are on post #1 of this thread. I think this skin is petty much completed but I'd like some feedback before moving it from beta to released. No additional functionality will be added before release - just fixes for any bugs found.

Here are some screen shots ...

Do you mean have a screen exactly as in your post but with proper on off screens etc ? I guess I could try to do the stars for you ..... mind you I'd like to see your ratings script in action (hint hint !!)

EL CAMINO · 12-20-2007, 03:34 PM

not the whole screen, just the stars, i use IMG,xx,xx,xx,xx, to load the images, that way i can use the same graphics in more screens(star_off.png and star_on.png).
sure i can share that. i'll pm you what i have.

Valheru · 12-20-2007, 03:41 PM

I could use this as the star_on.png but would the star_off.png be a star outline or no star at all ? might sound a stupid question but I've never quite understood the custom indicator thing at all ...

EL CAMINO · 12-20-2007, 04:02 PM

is easy to use, take a look at the audio_player skin, open it in the editor and you will see what i mean.(save the star you post as "star_off.png" and place it in your skin folder.)the indicator code is to toggle the on and off stage.
now all we need is off star, unless you wanna use the one i was using before, and make it darker and shadowed to be used as a star_off.png,

Code:

I,130,299,53,42,"CUSTOM_1STAR"
I,186,299,53,42,"CUSTOM_2STAR"
I,242,299,53,42,"CUSTOM_3STAR"
I,298,299,53,42,"CUSTOM_4STAR"
I,354,299,53,42,"CUSTOM_5STAR"
IMG,130,299,53,42,"star_on.png",ON
IMG,186,299,53,42,"star_on.png",ON
IMG,242,299,53,42,"star_on.png",ON
IMG,298,299,53,42,"star_on.png",ON
IMG,354,299,53,42,"star_on.png",ON
IMG,130,299,53,42,"star_off.png",OFF
IMG,186,299,53,42,"star_off.png",OFF
IMG,242,299,53,42,"star_off.png",OFF
IMG,298,299,53,42,"star_off.png",OFF
IMG,354,299,53,42,"star_off.png",OFF

So is that all I need to get the stars working ... I'll play around with it tomorrow and see how I get on. How about something like this for the star_off.png ?

EL CAMINO · 12-20-2007, 05:14 PM

well, the package is small enough to upload here, so here it is, make sure to read the README file,

EDITED.

just gave it a try
and it's beeeeeeutiful!

really damn nice

some sugestions:

1 - change the menus fonts
the orange one is kinda hard to read and a lil small. guess a bolder and white font would do the job

2 - the "over" layer is hard to see. when not using a touchscreen (my case and many others), the over layer is very important so we can see what we will click (press enter without a mouse)
guess the fonts are the way again. maybe making the selected menu title glow the oposite make it more visible than messing with the icons

3 - a backgound changer skin would be nice. and using the "new" RR background variable too. so the newbies won't have problems with the first run

no moro the say
just LOVED the design
specially the exit menu. SO elegant

great job

PS: 1 more thing: the exit menu lacks a cancel button so we can go back to rr if we change our minds or misspressed it

Thanks will ...

Point's 1 and 2 ... I'll look into over the holidays !

There is a background changer in there already (on the skin browser screen), but it should probably use the background variable allright ... I'm guessing it's just "$backgroundpath$" or something like that ?

The exit menu is on a 5 sec idle before it cancels ... but I had though about having a "hidden" button over the "Exit Menu" text which would be the cancel button ... leave it with me.

tn6478 · 12-21-2007, 08:32 AM

man I can't see this screen. Where is the background path set at. I can see transparent in my other skin but not this one. My background folder is located at c:\program files\Road Runner\Backgrounds so else is wrong GDI is already register.

Valheru · 12-21-2007, 08:56 AM

hi tn6478 ...

at the moment this skin uses the "picspath" setting in rr.ini as the source for the backgrounds. that's one of the things I need to change is to make it use the background path instead. Set the picspath to be where your backgrounds are and it should work.
