Helium skins - Updated 2010-05-30
Re: Helium skins - New gDark color (2009-10-03)
Beautiful. If you want to think about future adjustments, the scrollbar slider is almost invisible on my screen. I can live with it to enjoy this nice skin.
Can't afford a signature.

Than you GeraldB !
The scrollbar slider? I suppose it's the lack of contrast, more specifically when the slider is very small.
I will see what I can do in next version.

Like this skin a lot. Just a couple requests.
The microplayer, which I like to use to save space while playing is very hard to read.
And is there anyway to make the program bar glass while maintaining the skin inside? Thanks again.

This is what I meant for the micro player

This is not normal. Is that on Windows 7 ?
On my system (Win XP) it's looks like this:
Edit: I can confirm it's unreadable on Vista too.
I will try to solve the problem. I will keep you informed.
Do you mean making the title bar the same as Windows' one? If it's the case, no it's not currently possible.chiapete82 wrote:And is there anyway to make the program bar glass while maintaining the skin inside? Thanks again.

Re: Helium skins - New gDark color (2009-10-03)
how are you doing the fonts in the micro player?
i have been using the old winamp classic way of using a font bmp.
not sure if i changed it to any other way, but i have not changed my micro players in 2 years
i use the same ones on all of my skins.
i can't check to see if i did still use them cause i'm on a different computer now so i don't have
my working skin folder handy. i got to transfer it yet.
but i think if you use that font bmp and change the font on it to one that is on vista or win 7 it might show up.
did you try that? if that works let me know so i can adjust mine if need be.

Thank you DreadM. I was not aware of this problem before.
@chiapete82, seems like a bug. text/objects in the microplayer are transparent and inherit color from combination of desktop background/window color intensity.
@rovingcowboy, it's only regular text;
I think we can't use bmp font anymore since MM 3.0. Except for player's timer.

Yea, you're right. I switched to the basic theme and it looks like its supposed to.
Re: Helium skins - New gDark color (2009-10-03)
Eyal,
I'm not sure if you are aware or not, but Trixmoto is releasing a new version of MonkeyRok. It is supposed to have some big changes, including tabbed interface.
Since Helium gDark and Spotify are some of my favorite skins, I'm wondering if you will be updating the MR skin to accommodate the new changes?
Trixmoto was even kind enough to list the changes that need to be done in the new MR skins. Here is his message from the MonkeyRok thread:

Thanks for the info, gpzbc. However this info is not sufficient to begin an update. I need the script to be able to test it, and see how it works.
Be sure I'll work on it as soon as it becomes available.

Re: Helium skins - New gDark color (2009-10-03)
There is a glitch with this skin with Monkey Rok 5.0; there are supposed to be question marks that for example expand the contents of a particular album. What is actually displayed as a white box with a red cross in it. Double clicking it produces no response.
Re: Helium skins - New gDark color (2009-10-03)
That's because Eyal hasn't released the skin for MR 5.0 yet. But it looks like it is coming soon!
