MM3 skin theme for MM4?

[belomeclone]

I have not upgraded to MM4 because I really dislike the new interface. I doubt it's possible, but I would like a MM3 theme. One doesn't already exist, does it?

The things that really bug me are the "Now Playing" display at the bottom, and the metadata properties popout.

I'm sorry to make the request, and just as sorry that I don't like the look of MM4. Is there anyway this could be done, or that I could help?

it's nearly the same , just the Tabs are new, but they can be switched off if you don't like.

The things that really bug me are the "Now Playing" display at the bottom,

check the Titlebar ( right click on scrollbar ) and move it where you want!

and the metadata properties popout

Tools / Options / Player / Pop Up Display !

but I would like a MM3 theme. One doesn't already exist, does it?

If I'm not wrong every MM3 skin works with MM4 just the Tabs maybe displayed not correct ( but they can be switched off )
also several skins are updated for MM4 !

what skin you look for ?

Thanks for the reply

The Now Playing bothers me for reasons other than its location.

Compare these two:



I like seeing the Artist and Album name as it is shown there. Plus the smaller size in general is a little off putting.

And is it possible to get this screen to look like the other?


I really dislike the static and cramped look 4.0 has.

The Properties dialog layout can't be changed. But what the Player displays can be changed through skinning.

the skins for mm 3 do work in it but as said not with perfect tab display. or in my xp system not perfect display of the mini player.

you can use them though if you like wide or big players then try a few of mine i did for mm 3. find the screenshots at the mediamonkey wiki skinning page or at my website. but the downloadable files are on my sky drive site. there is a link to it on the above sites, i said. i did try to make one skin called dj coco marantz. updated for mm 4. but thats all.

here is the download site.

they are on peke's happy monkeying site too but i've not updated them there so newest ones are on my download site.
peke's site does have the dj coco marantz mm 4 version skin.

hope you find one you like from somebody.

With regard to the properties dialogue box see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=66681

I installed MM4 just now, it seems even more foreign than before. How did you guys adapt to it? I could not navigate it.

I was confused why clicking to enlarge the album art made MediaMonkey lose focus (and flash uncomfortably). I was confused how to remove the top "Title" and "Genre" bars. And the bottom bar is even flatter and emptier than before.

I am looking into skinning it, but I can't use MM4 as is, and I do not understand how it is made by the same people who made MM3!!!
