Nbeat Skin v.1.0

Nbeat is my fourth skin and I hope you like it.

I've opted for black and silver versions and, if you have version 3.1 of MediaMonkey, you should benefit from a modified set of icons built in, and an info pop-up panel for the micro player when you hover the cursor over it.

MonkeyRok and Lyrics & Comments Viewer skins are provided for both colours.

The typeface for some items is designed for use with the 'Ionic Charge' font which is free to download/use. I've included it in the .mmip file and it should install with the skin. However, I have found on some systems that this doesn't happen automatically and I've therefore included a download link for the font for you to access it manually.

Nbeat Black:

Ionic Charge font (All Windows OS) http://www.box.net/shared/yfy1499i9v

To manually install the font:-
1. Download from above link
2. Depending on your system, either right click on the downloaded file and select 'Install' or
copy the ionic.ttf file to your fonts folder (e.g. C:\Windows\Fonts)

REMEMBER...You will need to restart MediaMonkey for the new font to be included in the fonts table which is read at program start-up.

Hope you enjoy it...

Hi bex,

Progress bar for track playing is shown on main player panel as 'Pos' with graduated lines/scale

Progress bar for file activity etc., appears in status bar when required.

All seems fine here, but let me know if you have a problem

Coach:

Very nice, I think I will take the silver for a ride. One small thing, can you add one of those animated icons to the Statistics section so the user (meaning me) will know the stats are being gathered rather than thinking something is wrong?

Wow! :D
Nice modern shiny look! I like it.

You really excel in this one Coach. I like both colors. But I'm still stuck with 3.0.

I'll need to straighten my sleeves and stop to laze.

VERY nice! One of my favorites.

If you're ever going to update this skin in the future, I'd like to see star ratings on the player panel for the current track. Only thing really missing for me.

Greetings

Well done CoachUK,Like also the Player design, but for my taste the player are to big,
maybe make a slim player version. :wink:

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. Glad you seem to like Nbeat.

@Nyn I'll add the animated graphic to my to-do list for you. You want a purle version of this one too? :lol:

@Valis666 I can see no reason why ratings stars shouldn't be added so I'll include that too. :)

@DreadM ...Salutations! I made the player large intentionally as it just seemd to fit with the style I was looking for. But I agree with you that there should be an option for an alternative slim version. (Adds a new page to 'to-do' list. :roll: )

@ aidan_cage I guess you could modify the existing .msz & .ini files to substitute the players, but hopefully I can get the slim player version together in the not too distant future.

Once again, thanks for the encouraging words...makes it worthwhile. :D
