<div class="IPBDescription">Bust that groove bob!</div>I tried mapping, it didnt get too far. I tried making textures and they always ended up looking a bit shabby. I tried writing some fanfic, but the less said about that the better <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

So I present you with my offering to this wonderful community, in the form of a Winamp Skin. Every bit is skinned, and even includes a few cusom cursors, so you can pretend commander modes working fine already.

This is only version 1, so any <span style='color:red'>constructive</span> criticism is welcomed.

<a href="http://www.box7.co.uk/ns/nsamp.zip" target="_blank">Download</a>

Have fun, all we need now is a visualisation that makes Bob dance to the beat <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Its hard to do that because the playlist is resizable. I could always make it all into metal, get rid of the infestation. However, Im think im going to take a rest from skinning for a bit, its hard work with all those little areas that have to be aligned perfectly.

    That looks good.  If I used Winamp, I'd certainly get it.  But I don't use Winamp.  Make me a Sonique skin. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Wow! That's terrific. Send me a copy sometime to offer as a download from readyroom.org when you think it's done.

    Any chance you could do a Trillian skin too?

    That's it.
    My 'Dark Kenshin' - skin has finally found its successor.
    Awesome work!

    [edit]Maybe a simple 'save as' download would be nice the next time. Those macrothingies aren't tolerated by many browsers.[/edit]

    [edit2]After toying around a bit I'm still impressed. It's OK IMAO that selected stuff isn't highlighted until it's played, but please get rid of that hand. It just feels like 'B&W meets NS'...[/edit2]

    Thanks for the feedback, Ill work on it later, maybe incorporate bob in there somewhere, and mess with the playlist, which I feel is the weakest point. And ill try do do something with the cursors, they are just the NS ones atm, but as Flayra said, theyre only placeholders.

    MonsieurEvil: When its finished id love to have it on ReadyRoom; and as for other skins, if I have any spare time I may have a crack.

    Nemesis: Ive just found what you mean by selections not showing up, ill fix that, thanks.

    your desktops all suck. I used to have an awesome desktop I made from a picture of a sword someone drew for my UO shard, but then my parents funked with my computer and lost it.

    hmm nice desktop greedo, will you replace the drawings with actual shots of the models when they're released or are you gonna stick with it the way it is? I personally think you shouldn't change it, i like pendrawings <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    It's kinda just a progress indicator.  I'll probably go back to the old concept sketches a while after all the model shots have been publicly released.  And if you want, you can get the concept sketch wallpaper <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/downloads/Evolve_wallpaper.zip" target="_blank">here,</a> mirrored courtesy of the good folks at rr.org.

    Oh I'm beyond sick. Hehehe.

    My wallpaper changes every day too, all of which I get from the same site. Sometimes I stray off to get something else from a different site, but I'm such a big anime fan that my desktop just isn't completet without such a wallpaper.

    But anyway, that was a very nice WinAmp skin, although I foud it too bright for my liking. If you ever flesh out a much darker version, let me know.  <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    By the way, how do you make a WinAmp skin?  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks, the general concensus Is that it should be a little darker.

    Making a winamp skin involves Photoshopping lots of little randmonly placed bitmaps, then saving them all. Its not too hard, but can be annoying when youve done all the design work, and all that is left is cutting it up into bits, which is really tedious.
