Permission to include skins with the next version of Multi-Plugin

I would like to request permission to include the following skins in the next version of Multi-Plugin:

  • Milk and Milk 2
  • WMP 11
  • Royal Inspirat SE (both green and blue)
  • Eternal
  • VistaXP
  • InspiratSE (both old buttons and new buttons)
  • Alluvium Magnite
  • Siro
  • Longhorn Alternative - Dark

I will make the following modifications to any skin I include by default:

  • I will fix the LCD glitch.
  • I will change the version folder name if it's named incorrectly.
  • I will remove any unnecessary images from the Extended folder.
  • The next version of Multi-Plugin will be able to include 2 different versions of one skin under one name - one for left side buttons and one for right side buttons. I will adjust the skins so they will work with both button sides (I won't alter the graphics other than flipping or such).
  • The first letters of each word in the skin name will be capitalized.

P.S., the next version will also support changing the hue/saturation/brightness of skins :)

Please give permission! I love these skins! Can you fix the min/max/close buttons on WMP 11?

#325848

A quick suggestion--include the ones you get permission for in the next version of Multi-Plugin, but also include a separate "pack" and just the plugin for dialup users. How much would all those skins increase the file size of the installer by?

@Localhost: I'll definitely give permission for any of my skins.

...But I agree with nightcrawler's point 9 skins (even with redundant images removed) will probably add around 1.5mb weight to the download. And may cause frustration for users & devs if Apple decides to revise the skin format again.

And it seems like great new skins are coming out every week - will the list of included skins grow out of control?

Well i recon you'd be allowed seeing as you made this whole thing possible in the first place. Without you those skins wouldn't exist. They would remain but a twinkle in a modders eye. When you do release the new multiplugin please make a new thraed thats a stickey as well. For some odd reason some aqua-soft users don't know what it is!!!

#325855

I like the idea.. it would establish a standard and probably facilitate update methodologies when apple throws new versions.

#325977

so lets get some clarification, adjust the hue/sat/brightness on any element, or on specific parts? that would be totally hot. and on the fly like skin changing currently is? wow.

nightcrawler - first I'll see how much space it takes. If the installer will be less than 5 megs or something, I won't bother. I was downloading Whistler builds when I had 56k ;) it's not that bad.

gtn - thanks :)

DarKobra - There won't be an immediate preview, that's impossible, but it will be on the fly like changing skins is now. every element that is included in the skin will be colorized, except elements that the skin designer decides that they should not be (it will be included in SkinData.ini).

The main problem so far is that the colorization takes a lot of time. Loading a colorized skin sometimes takes more than 10 seconds on my 2GHz P4. But after it's loading the speed and memory usage stay the same.

localhost - very cool. I wouldnt expect an immediate view, but is a color pallate possible? Im not sure if im asking for the right thing or making it clear, or if its possible....whatever it is, sounds cool :D

localhost, you have my permission to include my VistaXP skin! I just hope people are enjoying these skins that the skinners have been pumping out.

My first post and I just wanted to say that I, for one, find ALL the work you folks have done incredible. From the application that allows iTunes to be modified to the great skins, your collective creativity seems to know no bounds.

Thank you!

holy freakin' ****, the hue, brightness? My god man, just when I thought you couldn't do more, you doing much, much more.

Wow, I'm really excited now :)

Oh yea, I give permission for someone to do a EternalAqua skin :shady:

Just kidding, get Susumu's permission first ;)

@localhost: if you want to include my eternal aqua skin, go ahead, as for eternal itunes, this is not an official release as the author doesn't have Susumu's permission :)
