skin

[jukejohn]

what about a very colorful skin

also a key command for background on/off

put this under jbp by mistake

[Steve]

Please expand on your wish... 

Colourfull ?

background on/off ?

 

[jukejohn]

a colorful skin for vjb something with reds/yellows/orange/greens

and a option for a keyboard press to switch background music on and off

[Dj4nrv]

Please let me loose on skins Steve!!!!!

[Dj4nrv]

Although saying that, theres A LOT of music genres! So that should keep me busy for a while.

[Steve]

John, good suggestions 

Dj, You wouldnt have the tools to compile the images into a skin file, but I realy would like to get you going with some skins, I will ask our Bry if he can knock up a template or something so that you could submit your images to us for compilation, would that be helpfull I wonder ?.

[Dj4nrv]

  definitely . Cheers Steve

[Steve]

Dj, ok I'l put it to him later and see what he has to say.

[Dj4nrv]

Nice one.
And yeah good ideas John. Bgm button, great shout!

[jukejohn]

hey thats sounds great if they let you lose with a template 

i use a rf remote with remapping software so what ever vjb key commands are available
i can simply remap the remote to it not sure if you can do that with steves remote kit

[Steve]

John, our remote doesnt need any remapping, it just works with all the commands right out of the box, no programming required yey 

Ps: dont get excited about the prospect of a template, I havn't put it to our Bry yet, it will be up to him. (I hope he goes for it though 

[jukejohn]

ok heres hoping 

[Bry]

i dont have the time to create a user friendly template thata i can relese to everyone but if dj4nrv wants to hav a go at a few skins i could loan him the mockup program that i use to gather the required images but i have to warn that its is buggy and dificult to use
If dj4 wants to have a go let me kno  and i will give some guidance on whats needed and how it works

[Dj4nrv]

K cheers Bry. I would defiantly be up for giving it a go.
What's this mockup program ? Is it a compiler? Or is it just to give you an idea of how the images look together?
Only when Steve said about submitting all the images I weren't sure how easy it would be to get it right.
I know there's a bit of trial error needed when putting themes together and weren't sure if I'd get it right first time.
So would this at least allow me to see a kinda preview of how it all looks once together?

[Bry]

yeah there s a lot of trial n error
 its just a mockup tha looks like videobox i knocked it up over a w/end so its a bit rough its not for genral release lol
the prog will giveyou an idea how it will look when is done but the problems you will have is understanding what is allowed and what is not
forinstance some panels can have an image some canot, somecan have transparency when som its not alowed etc
also the images should be optimised for quick loading thats the size in kb not the phisical size
you also have to choose colors for text and choose a base them for the window and back end etc
just of top ofe my head i would say there are 30 images give or take, ones that are not used shoul be transparent they can not be missing
if you are still up for it I will cobble a download together this wekend for u ok
