Skins / Re: wasabi.list.text.selected.background.inactive

How about we wait to have a fixed WACUP beta build to use...

As a matter of fact, my Study skin is a kind of tutorial skin and it had been on my todo list to add some more colour definitions long before the recent crashes. The crashes simply gave me the push to do it.

Why I only mentioned wasabi.list.text.selected.background.inactive and not the many other colour definitions that I had added? Well, because I do not think anyone would care much about those additions while many modern skins are crashing WACUP.

The release notes at WinCustomize and DeviantArt do not say a single word about the crashes, only the additions of colour definitions with explanatory comments.

Most modern skins define that colour in system-colors.xml.

Version 1.4.2 was uploaded today to WinCustomize, DeviantArt and here, too.

• Added colour definition for wasabi.list.text.selected.background.inactive, without which all modern skins crash WACUP beta build 1.99.3.18106.

The discussion about wasabi.list.text.selected.background.inactive is continued here

Version 1.4.1 is now up at WinCustomize and DeviantArt

• The only news is that FrisbeeMonkey.com went down so the link is now pointing to the Wayback Machine.

Skins / six-digit-elapsed-remaining.maki

« on: January 06, 2024, 10:49:37 PM »

This shows elapsed time in one text object and remaining time in another one. If the song is longer than an hour then elapsed/remaining time is shown in HH:MM:SS format, if shorter then in MM:SS.CC format, where CC = centiseconds.

That's a gen_ff handling issue which can affect any skin.

You are working on it so you must know but I cannot trigger the invisible list view bug with any other skin I am using.

The following steps always trigger the bug for me:

• Switch to Winamp Modern and close WACUP.
• Remove (or rename) studio.xnf
• Launch WACUP.
• Close the Playlist Editor window while still in Winamp Modern.
• Switch to Defix Neom Trinity. Its windows will be on top of one another. Move them apart.

What distinguishes Defix Neom Trinity from other skins is that it is a hybrid of SUI and multi-window skins so there must be something wrong in the mixture that triggers the bug.

Edit: fixed some grammar for better intelligibility.

Both Defix Neom 100 and Defix Neom Trinity are smooth, elegant skins but I have found a glitch with the Trinity skin. Occasionally, when I switch to Trinity from another skin, the list view area of the playlist editor is fully transparent, showing the desktop instead of the playlist. What is even more strange is that when I click on the Close button of the playlist editor, instead of closing the window, it now shows the playlist. Once the playlist is shown, I can close the playlist editor window.

Also, most of the color themes look much the same as the default theme.except Noir, which changes the seek and volume animations to grey, and Macintosh Full, which is plain ugly.

Apart from the above issues, both skins are really great.

Nostalgic for Sonique, aren't you? The drop shadow of the layout with visualization looks better than the drop shadow of the layout with cover art.

Skins / Re: Switching layouts

« on: October 15, 2023, 03:41:52 PM »

Hi parisienne17,

You can do it with buttons whose action is "SWITCH" and the param is the id of the layout you want to switch to.

<button
  id="SwitchUp"
  action="SWITCH" param="normal"
  x="?" y="?"
  image="arrow.up"
  hoverImage="arrow.up.hover"
  downimage="arrow.up.pressed"
  tooltip="Switch to normal mode"
/>

<button
  id="SwitchDown"
  action="SWITCH" param="stick"
  x="?" y="?"
  image="arrow.down"
  hoverImage="arrow.down.hover"
  downimage="arrow.down.pressed"
  tooltip="Switch to stick mode"
/>

Skins / Re: How do I edit the *Entire* skin?

« on: August 14, 2023, 09:06:29 PM »

It is the standardframe.xml that skins the rest of the skin.
My Study Skin has a very simple standardframe.xml for a starter. Winamp Modern has a more advanced one.

Skins / Quinto Black CT v3.8 released

« on: July 29, 2023, 06:18:58 PM »

Quinto Black CT is the best skeuomorphic Winamp skin for modern desktops, imho. In his 2018 blog entry, dro mentions it as one of the "two skins that stand out from the last year".

Get version 3.8 here.

Unfortunately, Quinto's installer is not WACUP-friendly but there is a workaround to install it for WACUP.

This post will guide you how you can install Quinto for WACUP in the following two scenarios:

• You have both WACUP and Winamp on your machine.
• You only have WACUP and do not want to install Winamp just for the sake of Quinto.

1. You have both WACUP and Winamp on your machine

• Launch the installer and install Quinto for Winamp.
• Copy the Quinto Black CT v3.8 directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Skins to C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup\Skins

2. You only have WACUP (and do not want to install Winamp)

• In File Explorer, go to C:\Program Files (x86)
• Create a new folder named Winamp
• Enter the newly created Winamp folder and create a new folder named Skins
• Copy winamp.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup to C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp*
• Launch the installer and install Quinto into the Winamp directory
• Copy the Quinto Black CT v3.8 directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Skins to C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup\Skins
• Delete the Winamp folder.

*You do not really need the real winamp.exe. It is in fact enough to create a 0-byte plain text file with the filename winamp.exe.

Skins / Re: Defix Hi-End (skin) v2.0.5 (Last updated: November 24th 2021)

Version 2.0.5 doesn't have the coverflow feature.

It does but there is a difference. If songs from the same album have different cover arts then v1.63 (left) shows all covers, while v2.05 (right) only shows the cover of the first song.

Nothing I try gets the coverflow to work correctly when this version of the skin is initially loaded with my configuration of WACUP.

Are the slivers ok in v2.0.5?

I configured it to display album art for the pl selection as it's background.

That makes no difference to me. My guess is that the issue might be related to playlist size (my playlists are quite short). What happens if you increase the delays in coverflow.m?

Hi Aminifu,

One of the info boxes displays 4 lines (title, location, year and decoder) instead of the normal 5 lines (title, artist, album, year and decoder). The title displayed in the 4 line display is the ATF string used by the playlist editor window instead of the track's title that is displayed in the 5 line display.

The attached fileinfo.m fixes it.

The other info box normally shows the full albumart from the selected track and slivers of albumart from the next 4 following tracks. When first starting (before completing playback of the first selected track or switching to the next track and back) the full albumart and slivers of albumart shown are all from the first selected track.

I don't know why they all look alike to you. To me, they are all different.

Also I think this skin with this script maybe causing the latest version of WACUP to crash, if it is left loaded without starting playback for an extended amount of time (30 minutes or more).

Maybe. It did not crash to me when I left it alone for 30 minutes.
