KoMODo skin

[Victhor]

I think it's time to unleash some pics of the beast growing..

Based on Skin Consortium´s wonderful skin Komodo, but with A LOT of changes.

























A LOT of work to be done yet, so far there is a working top drawer with secondary functions (repeat, shuffle, etc), an extra-config window with graphics to add beneath controls (to improve readability depending on the background) plus a lot of minor tweaks aiming mostly to make the skin more usable on touchscreens.

CLARIFICATION: for those not familiar with the original skin, the background image is selectable by the user, there is up to 10 images you have pre-selected within the skin (and update it as you get tired of each).


Some extra HD versions on the attachments.

/// Credits: most background pics are from the great Beeple.

Hi Victhor,

Are you still working on this skin?

[Victhor]

Indeed, progressing slow since I found myself constantly wanting "ambitious" stuff to do with it -I don't know why! hehe- like colorizing the new backgrounds according to the color theme or a bundlded cPro2 Reader which doesn't need cPro2 engine...
But after several hit and miss (delaying the release in weeks) I abandoned some of the ideas. I'll focus more on the "doable" stuff so I can get it out.

Here is last progress (re arranged lower buttons):

go Victhor!!
Looking good

Progress!!

At 01 you can see a special section with a lot of info on current playing song and a very handy button (+) to send it to a specific playlist or library location. At bottom the dinamically generated row shows your saved playlists, one click plays it directly.

03 is a quick look to the mainly finished library/playlist with bigger / taller control buttons and search bar.

04 it's the new (bigger!) Config page with more pics to choose from.


Getting closer.. once I'm done with a top drawer (not seen on the SSs) and an extra settings window, I'll release a beta. Stay tuned! (whoever is out there...)

Hi there Victhor! I've been wondering when you'll release a beta of this amazing skin? I really can't wait to test it out.

[Victhor]

It's like Winamp.. SOON! XD
I haven't progressed too much lately.. I'd like to have a decent release soon, but I'm like.. 6 to 8 hours away from that.. (amazing how I can't find that time!)

[zeroichi92]

Looks like I have to settle in with your cPRO2 Styler skin while waiting for this beast to be unleashed XD. Best of luck Victhor, your skins are the main reason I use Winamp as my primary music player.

[Victhor]

Thanks! With your words and today's news think I'm more than encouraged now to finish it up soon! =)

[chapiz]

one skin really impressive.

[Victhor]

Well... good news and "bad" news... this took me so long that I finally got my HP Envy laptop with touchscreen (woohooo!!!) before finishing the skin! Lol..
The good news is also that the skin works like a charm with touch-only input. There are little things here and there but it's a really good start and it's quite more usable that other skins or even Winamp scaled up.
The bad news is that I will get a bit more obsessive with the final outcome so it's another delay on the horizon haha.. well, not really, but it will be more polished when it comes out, though I will release a beta soon.

[zeroichi92]

Awww man..now I'm dying to test this out! But from your words it seems that KoMODo will set a new milestone for Winamp skins.

Thanks for your patience.. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=382601

Hi Everyone, I am new to this community.

I seek help from anyone (who is willing to help) to show me how to display Library as per attached image:

@Victhor
Thank you for this GREAT skin. I like it so much. I am trying (just found out about KOMODO X) to do justice to your great work by learning how to use it as effectively as you have intended it.

Thank you.

[Victhor]

Hi, thanks, I'm glad you like it (so much!).
About your question, if you refer to how to have Media library and Playlist editor side by side, just drag the inner right side of the Media library and you should see the Playlist. Another way is, once on that page, open the Playlist through the right click menu.

Hi Victhor,
Got it! Thank you for your quick reply.
