XT Resources:(Skins)

[jens]

there's only one little problem about the (otherwise fantastic) SXT-Skin:

due to the dark colour of selections the waveforms within audio parts are almost invisible

- I've changed the colour myself but maybe you want to fix this, Branis?

[Branis]

Do you mean the waveforms (and midi and envelope data) within audio (and midi and envelope) parts in the sequencer arrange window when the parts are selected?

I didn't think it was very important (at least i wasn't to me) to be able to see the content of a part when it's selected, but anyway I uploaded a new version with a (slightly) lighter color for grid_col_sel. It should be better now

EDIT: I just saw a post with Shifrin's advice on optimizing skins (stretch instead of tile where applicable). I listened to his advice and it seems the skin is faster now. Thanks Shif
(it's already uploaded)

If you need to tile, it also helps to tile a small bmp into a bigger one...but not too big

Back when I use to make levels for some computer games (Halflife and Quake! Woohoo!) it was standard pratice to double our tiling on our levels.

Its because it takes more processing power to tile a "texture" when it is a smaller image.

256px X 256px takes longer to render than a 512px X 512px

New version of 'Shifrin Skin' (with 'Dark' added after it as there will be an alternate colour scheme 'Light' version soon) :-

Great update Shifrin
I especially like the minimize/maximize/close buttons.

Edit: I just found one "bug" in Shifrin's latest skin: the fa_bkgnd_horz item's mode is set to default instead of stretch.
Fabulous skin.

Fixed! I might have know I'd miss one after altering just about every bmp

Thanks for the nice comments

Shif.

P.S. Any other 'bugs' let me know and I'll fix them!

[scuzzphut]

wow

some really great skins over the last few days.

thanks for sharing, guys

[Shifrin]

Just to say that I have actually made a few minor changes since posting this (I'm never happy with how things are ) but won't post it just yet incase any other things stand out to me!

Should be totally finished in couple of days, after I've used it more and altered any other things that stand out

Yes, that's what I meant - much better now, thanks

Now that audio-parts are cutable it's nice when I am able to see what exactly I am actually cutting...

Uploaded my update, I'm happy with everything now! Changed the component icons a bit and modified faders/mute/solo buttons slightly.

Will try to get the 'Light' version out soon
