hhaayyy :(

I just started using media monkey today and i for one love this black skin, goes really well with the dark window blind i use and the rest of the stuff on my computer, i like monkeys to but they can stay in the jungles, enuff monkeys behind computers now without more on them lol

Cheers
and thankyou

yeah.. I read something warning about single pixel transparency though.. it cpu usage... but then again.. I guess the same thing would probably happen if it support semi-transparency.

I beleive that if you had alternating transperant pink pixels on the titlebar like a chessboard then it might work? I think it would a little bit.

well it seems like it should work but maybe that is why i got a black area when i tired to change the floating player background image? :o

that was a little hard to follow.. but iether ay.. I'm pretty sure you can't to semi-transparency in MM... and definitely not when using a colour as the transparent area.. if anything, it might work if you deleted all background so you actually had transparency in the png and not just a different colour which was set to transparency later...

however, I'm VERY confident that MM won't do semi-transparency (yet anyway) and windows vista actually blurs the semitransparent views anyway - like frosted glass.

oh i see that is easy. just put the transpernt setting to one you want when you make the graphic image you use for the header and boarders.

place them on the images on the image map.

then take and add a shape to the image map take the boarder off the shape your adding. and fill the color of the shape in with the same pink
background of the image map that is already set to transparet color for the skin program.

now place that new pink shape between the image map and the image you just put on that you want to use for the header and boarders.
thus covering the orgianl image with the new pink color but not your image for the headers or boarder. that sould make the image transpeartn when you see it on the skin. just save the image map as and png and replace the bmp in the mskn file with the png one. it should be transparent then.

why save the image map as an png instead of bmp? cause a bmp can't do transpent. 8)

no, that isn't what he means! He means that you can see through the titlebar and edges of the screen like this:
[u][b]WARNING - HIGH RES IMAGE[/b][/u]

what's that you said??

i read in to your statement that in vista they made the player look like
a tv set setting with in a tv set. by making it look like a pane of glass is covering the front just like the tube on the tv set?

is that what your saying? if so get a screen shot for us cause i'd like to see that. i got ideas of how to do it but would like to see it to confirm my ideas.

Mine here is based on WMP11 so it is very vista like :D

I started to do a bit of work on this today. I got the player cleaned up and slapped the Monkey on it, but I want to know how to get the text in the tree, list, and playing areas white. I have seen other skins with the text in these areas white, but I haven't seen how to do it around here. Also I should probably find out how to get the Library Panes skin changed too. :)

Any help would be as wonderful as ever. :D

I used the sleek black/piano black skin DaledeSilva released not too long ago and popped a slightly gimped player in to make it more MM. Thanks to DaledeSilva

Please point me toward where I can learn how to change the text of the Tree, Playing, List sections to white. I want to make those windows have a pure black back, so I can have a dark black skin for actual. Maybe you know how to change the blue sliders, and the highlight bar?

Sorry about the long post, but I am half way done and looking for direction. 8)

so I figured out the colour changing from another thread, but it just lead to a string of other problems and things I need to change to be happy :P
please feedback

There is a dark sort of skin for MM3 only on my signature, the one i am talking about is Royal Dark Grey

um... I don't know, gab... if the borders change then I guess you're doing it right.. the only thing I could say would be make sure both the check boxes under the skin list in options are UNCHECKED.

sebastian78... that is a sweet name (piano black).. mind if I (possibly) use it?.. the skin's changed a fair bit as I've been tailoring it for MM 3.0 and sleek-Black was always a working title.

Dale.

Dale:

I really like your new skin. However my player and alternating rows in the track list do not change just the borders. Am I doing something wrong?
