XT Resources:(Skins)

Ok that got me confused - I was pretty sure that there's an entry for that in the energyXT.ini file (in system folder), but it's not there

sorry, I don't know?

and one for the Legend, DarkStar too

[grymmjack]

thanks. Odd that it's not part of the skin editor, considering it's a visual thing and so much of the visual stuff is included. Must be because jorgen feels the transparency is user preference. Anyway woot

[pHz]

yeah ... TBH i forget that when making skins ... i have transparent menus etc but it guess many users dont ... my skins will look slightly different in that context i guess ...

... hmmmnnn ...

[pHz]

FR for jorgen then ... make transparencies etc part of the skinning engine rather than local settings (although i guess you COULD have both with skins setting their configuration that could still be superceded by user settings afterwards ??? )

thanks to .jon and Branis for more excellent skins

[Sickle]

Ive updated "Elementor-Pine" with more contrast...(a little bit darker too)...I think its better that way...

Superb.

[pHz]

as a visual artist by profession what i find cool is that i think were now seeing 'mature' skin builders for eXT starting to develop 'house styles' as we all get more familliar with the skinning engine and our own philosophies of design ...

... until jorgen goes and changes it all for XT2 anyways ...

thanks .jon and branis .. the .jon icons reminde me of zx48k rubber keys and branis skin like someone said its refreshing.. i made some changes, removed the tab, changed the yeallow clips to brown clips, and prefer the vst icons in white default(color) XT icons.. thanks!

[.jon]

Oh those rubber keys... I wore out two keyboards, or letters O and P to be specific

Download UPDATED standard version

I made some parts a bit lighter (bg & icons, button texts).

A "Work in Progress"
- it looks like greys with orange Highlights are making a bit of a comeback,
- this is derived from my earlier XP-Silver GUI.

Let me know what you think.

wasnt intending to do any more for a while but was playing around with some ideas and this one started developing ...

... i seem to be going off in my own little direction as far as XT skins are concerned but maybe someone else can find a use for it too ...

... wanted something minimal and simple but with (hopefully) a little bit more style than another windows default type skin ...

Nice one darkstar
I really love it

[silicon/silicium]

it's great, but I think more contrast is needed! the GUI seems to be behind an unclean window!
