Thought I'd add a couple of variations on a theme. Updates to my Gold and Silver skins. Gold is now in two flavors.

and

Available here

Hope someone will enjoy these.

Two more skins:

Ice Cube v2.0

and

Plastic Cube v1.0

You can get them both from here

I have a question for NicFit (Fruity Loops)and Shifrin (Shifrin):
how did you manage to get the transparency effect on your skins?
when I load your bitmap in my skin, it' s not transparent, not even if I load it back into your own skins

MRT, I love those skins, but I get a rather serious graphical slowdown when dragging any window, especially if main window is maximized.

Lovely, but something's getting chewed on somewhere..

Just letting you know, as I dig these alot.

I hate you skin guys..everytime I wanna open eXT & try & actually get something done I end up f**king with all these damn gui files..

I don't know am I tired or something... I can't see the pictures anymore, and I just made a link on www.xt-hq.com, but the links don't work and images wont show neither

What am I doing wrong?

I'm betting it's a syntax error. I noticed that you put a comma at the end of XT-hq and that link is not working also?

May be time for a rest ....or a cold beer, not necessarily in that order or limited to one of the above.

It's been a long while since I looked at the gui editor but as far as I can remember if you right-click the bmp file you've loaded into the gui editor you should have an option to select a transparent colour (NicFit can probably remember better than me) - then you get a zoomed in version of the bitmap where you click the colour you want to make transparent

You're right, I'm off to bed

I'm sure I payed taxes for all my synths though...

Really nice skins Branis!...like Shif, it's been a while since I did anything in the skin editor...I remember I had to redo a bunch of graphics because transparency didn't work reliably, specifically on graphics that had both a "default" and "pushed" state. I'm not sure what graphics in my skins still use transparency(maybe you can refresh my memory). I had trouble betting certain colors to work as an "alpha" color, but I truly can recall that I gave it much effort.

Sc666 would you describe this slowdown as "seeing trails"?

Seriously it could be related to using a bitmap in the main window instead of a color? Just tried the latest default GUI and I'm seeing trails there also?

Another thing that Could probably slow things down is the number of colors and bitmaps included in the skin. As these have evolved over time I haven't been real careful to purge all of the unused colors and maps from the files. I'll try and clean things up and see if that helps?

Mostly glad that somebody actually tried them out.
Thanks
