[release] iTunes Vista for iTunes 6

I just updated my iTunes Vista skin to work with iTunes 6! Please post any problems, suggestions, and comments here. This skin is based on the new Windows Vista. You can also get the matching visual style or windows blinds theme by KoL from here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20657639/ and http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20806397/

it's great

good job, you

#322819

Good work m8 , Thanx.

#322829

Nice job...

I like the buttons up the top right, in the vista style...do they work properly?

I'm also re-doing a vista skin, lucky for us both, mine is white, yours is black...

I'm going to be re-releasing "Aqua Vista" as it was called (before it was banned due to lack of permissions) using my own resources, in a style thats more vista than (and even better than) before.

I noticed that the colors of the shadows are also white, tried to set them to black but no luck. It appears that the drop shadow cannot be darker that the text...

Is this a limitation in Multi-Plugin or iTunes?

Also, would it be possible to add "over" effects for the three window buttons?

They are working properly to the limitations of skinning iTunes. They work the way I made them. Are you thinking that they should light up on mouse over? Wish I could do that, but its not possible with the way the multi-plugin skinning works.

Yea the shadow is set to white, cause the other colors didnt look right. I will have to mess with it a little bit more to see what color looks best to be the shadow of the text.

Yea you can do a mouse over, but they all three light up at once. Plus the buttons are just the overlays. The actuall button image is just part of the background at the top right.

Maybe someone else noticed, that this skin doesn't work with the new iTunes version 6.0.1.3.

But don't panic. You can get it work even in this new version.

In your skin folder in iTunes is another folder called vista (or something similar). There is a subfolder named 6.0.0.8.

Rename this subfolder to 6.x.x.xx

Then restart iTunes and navigate to the skin selection and you'll see the vista skin.

Happy doing;)

No skin that uses the Extended folder should be named 6.x.x.xx. It probably won't work on 6.1 or higher.

You have to install Multi-Plugin 2.2 Beta! You can get it here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=29035

Do you have the Multi-Plugin installed? If so then you just go to the iTunes Preferences menu and select the Multi-Plugin tab. If you do not have multi-plugin go here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=29035

I seem to be having some slight trouble getting it to look right. A few of the bars turned black, and the buttons changed, but th e majority is still white/apple grey...

What am I missing?

I'd be happy to take a screenshot if you can't visualize what I'm saying

what version of itunes are you using?

#325649

actually a screenshot could help you might be missing some of the graphic files in your vista folder, in which case you should redownload the vista skin
