Mmmmmorten, that looks so sweet

I noticed "nohitter151" also alluded to an new iPod themed skin in his Zune thread. Are you working on one together, or both going for something slightly different? (One the iPod, the other the iTouch?)

I'm doing the iPod touch, but they are of course related -- siblings.

Also, I think I have to do it full size. Is it too big for ya?;

I think maybe it is.

Well, then it get's more difficult for me. Anyone have tips where to put the buttons?

Yeah, that is very pretty, but kinda not "mini".

Keep working on it, tho.
I am definitely waiting with "baited breath".

It will be like the first post, 50% of normal iPod touch/iPhone resolution.

This might sound like a silly question, but will your iPod Touch themed player just be a skin for the mini-player, or will there be an accompanying style for the full version of MediaMonkey?

Either way, its a gorgeous skin!

And as regards the size, the original "full size" IS probably a bit too big to be workable, but at the same time you've detailed it beautifully, so it will be a shame to have it reduced to 50% the size. But I guess SOME compromise is needed for it to be useable!

It will only be a miniplayer-skin for now. And no, it's not a silly question at all. I will release it with the Glided-skin and other skins one's might want.

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up

A full iPod Touch skin would have been nice, but I certainly cant complain when the mini-player looks so sexy

If anything, it might encourage me to use the mini-player a little more often (I hardly use it at all at the mo).

I'll certainly be looking forward to this release anyways! *rubs hands together in anticipated glee*

All very logical buttons, kept close to the original iPod Touch design. And I like how you managed to squeeze a seek bar in there too! Its a thumbs up from me

But the questions gotta be asked. Why Celine?

(Just kidding, Dion kicks ass. Big voice, bigger hair, whats not to love? lol).

Given that the buttons I use most are in order: Next, Ratings, and then Volume; I would like like to see the ratings stars along the top. But, I realize that would probably not fit the style. Just a suggestion.

i think that would look alright on the top just make the rating stars monkey heads

Morten · Post by **Morten** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 6:21 pm

I can place a subtle rating there as well. What about this;
