Title: Winamp Classic Modern by Victhor
Post by: victhor on July 15, 2019, 08:34:52 PM
(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/i/7b80cd76-77fd-472e-a686-70429806aabe/ddbr1i4-90162195-da7d-47e7-a19d-67f8af751562.png)

This skin is aimed to those who love the simplicity of the classic  skin but need to jump to a more high-res-friendly or modern design.
 
 All  features I could replicate from the classic skin are here, even the loading speed, to a certain degree. More than this would have feel bloated and unnecessary, so I left it for another version, a full / more complete one that will be launched later (hopefully this year).
 
 So, these are the cool features you'll get if you decide to abandon classic skin and adopt this sweet little skin:
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif) Sharp graphics on a scale similar to classic doublesize
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif) 71 Color themes
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif) 3 modes repeat
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif) 3 modes songticker
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif) Enlarge ALL windows horizontally to achieve the perfect layout
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletorange.gif) Dock every window to screen edges
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif) AlbumArt window
 (https://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif) ..and all the things you already love from the good old classic!
 
 
...
Update v1.03 (30/07/2019):
. Added Gordon Freeman's color themes
. Added "Stop after current" signal on ctrl+v
. Fixed cursor on EQ "+12db" / "0" / "-12db" buttons
. Fixed wasabi.list.background.alternate color gammagroup
. Fixed ctrl+w bug on Playlist
. Improved timer font (edited minus sign)
. Enabled inactive state for Main shade mode to better match classic skin behaviour
. Put some order on EQ resizers

By the way, this is a short list of features I think the full version should contain:

. Notification system
. Better Albumart Right-click menu ("Search for cover", "Search lyrics", etc)
. Menu bar on main player (like Big Bento)
. Search in Playlist editor
. Merged mode? (an idea of mine)
. Secret feature on PL (including embeded album art)
. Real-time resize
. 2 modes timer (mm:ss / hh:mm:ss)
. Multi-button bolt
. Color themes window
. Real doublesize
..what else? Any request?

What do you mean by "Real-time resize"?
Title: Re: Winamp Classic Modern by Victhor
Post by: victhor on July 17, 2019, 07:14:04 PM
Like cPro has, it's really just a cosmetic thing..

I still don't know what that term means. I probably refer to that feature by another name.

The first is real-time resize enabled (cPro2 Aluminum), the second one is disabled / not implemented (WCM).

PS: On the second GIF there's a series of dotted lines that aren't visible, that's the cue to show how far the window will be resized.

Ok, now I understand. That is a good feature to have. Being able to see the results as you're resizing is convenient.

I'll wait to see what "Merged mode" and the "Secret feature on PL" does. :)

The main thing that stops me using classic skins is the lack of access to the crossfade.
I usually have to swap skin to enable/disable or change the value then swap the skin again.

BTW. This is my current skin for the past week 8)
I assume this will be added to the WACUP installs ;)
Especially as it is so small.

Oh! This is definitely going into the full version, I also miss to control that with every skin that doesn't have it, can't understand how it never made it to the classics, at least on the right click menu!

Awesome! I take it as a personal achievement =).

I assume this will be added to the WACUP installs ;)

Let's not press DrO on this, I was very lucky I got the support to include BBM! XD

Who'd be silly enough to think about doing something like that...?  ;D

This looks interesting. Why do the sample skin images not say 'WACUP'?
Title: Re: Winamp Classic Modern by Victhor
Post by: victhor on August 30, 2019, 06:06:53 PM
Because I used the same promo pics for all my posts, but the skin detects and changes accordingly if it runs under Winamp or WACUP.

got it, thx. I like it, however, my display the buttons lack the '3d' appearance from original winamp.

Hello victhor,

I'm new and please excuse me for having to ask questions, but as the old saying goes, I just gotta.

I don't have much experience skinning, all I have ever done is edit the images for Major Tom Remix to my own preferences. I downloaded that skin shortly after the original version was released back in 1999. It was my first and over the last 22 years, my only Winamp skin. I've tried many others over the years, but I keep going back to Major Tom.

I came here looking for a way to make the Playlist and Album Art windows double sized, or at least to match the Main and EQ windows, as I have pretty bad vision, and that would make it easier for me to see the title bars, etc. It was explained to me that this is not possible with Winamp Classic skins by dro, and he suggested I check out your Winamp Classic Modern skin.

I like what you have done with it. It demonstrates what you can do with Modern skins. My question for you is how difficult is it to convert an old Winamp classic skin, circa Winamp 2.6 that has been updated to Winamp 5.666 to a Modern skin? Could you possibly provide me with the necessary steps to accomplish this?

I would appreciate that very much, if it is possible to do by editing the images, as I have no programming skills.

Thanks in advance,

Ax

Hmmm... I could have sword I saw a Modify button somewhere. Oh well.

Anyway, you can disregard my request for newbie assistance if you like, WACUP fixed my skin problem. I can see it much better now! However, your Winamp Classic Modern skin is most excellent and gives me inspiration to create some skins some day.
