[Release] Expandable: small yet functional

UPDATED 6/25/05 1:17 PM EST!!!

Whats been added:

- U2 Ipod version

Well here is my newest release my first try at using animations hope you all like it. I have decided to include the psd file with this release so that you may make color modifications of your own. The skin.ini's will work with any variation you create as long as you do not move the shapes around. I suggest making everything white into a deep red to get that U2 Ipodish look

the controls are:

right side of info bubble shut the info pane

left side of info pane switch to the next variation

Info Scrolls

screenshot is of closed black text version and the open white text version

try them out on white and black desktops the blend in nicely

get it here

now that the skin.ini's are done expect to see me creating some variations for this on somewhat of a weekly basis the first of which will probably be the U2 ipod colors which will probably be added by tomorrow, then I think I'll start making variations that have a little depth to them instead of just being flat colors. in the mean time enjoy the original release and post your requests for color or style variations.

Or post your questions on how to customize the skin.ini to work with the variation you have created using the psd file.

hey.. could you add a bar with the normal stuff in it. .such rewind.. and maybe the star rating thing.. and how could i make the album art larger ?

its really nice just these minor stuff .. as i would like my album art to be bigger.. thanks alot

Not sure what you mean by the normal stuff, the skin right now canot fit the previous button in it and I didn't really plan on ever including one as I keep itunes on random play. But if I have more time I will try and implement a previous button.

Also I don't forsee me ever adding album art to this skin and the ratings bar I do not plan to add to this either. However I could probably have it so that when you click the song info it switched to a version showing rating and progress instead of info I'll play around with the idea and if I like how it turns out I'll add it. Album art on the other will never be added to this skin, by me anyways.

Though some features most power users would like (eg. song rating and album art) are not included, this has great potential !

Nice work ! I put you on the Front Page

updated see first post for details

actually just thought of something for those that make a variation but don't want ot mess with the skin.ini editing pm your variation to me and I'll add it for you.

my big picture plan is to have a whole bunch of variations both user submitted and my own creations and then make a skin changer showing the open version of each and then letting you pick the one you want to use.
