Info about Glided - Discussion

As of MMW 4.1 Skin is not distributed with installation but can be downloaded from Addons site HERE
As you should have noticed, Glided is now default skin in MediaMonkey v3.0 Alpha 5. It have been hard keeping it from you and telling some people that the skin has been postponed to later in the process of MM 3.0 and such.
Anyway, it's now released and you can all play with it in the latest Alpha which can be downloaded here.

Information about the skin;
- This skin is a collaboration between me and Petr. Graphics are by me, coding by Petr.
- This skin features a cool function which is L/R-visualizer in the Volume Bar. This will automatic resize according to the position of the volumebutton.
- What also is pretty dominant is a Spectrum Analyzer in the information panel.
Where is this skin headed?
The plan is to let this skin evolve with MM3 as it goes into beta and RC-stages. This is not a promise-list, but more of a wishlist from my side. Four things which are high on the priority for the next changes in my skin are;
1) Real Vista-compatibility; Menus, Dialogs, dropdown menus in Vista-style when you're using Vista and XP-style when you are using XP.
2) There is current a big empty area if you're using a high-res screen. Don't worry, it would most likely be used by an area where you can switch between a playlist-viewer (custom) and a lyrics viewer. Of course, if you have any ideas to what this area can be used for; send me a PM.
3) Spectrum analyzer isn't possible to turn off as of yet, but the plan is to make it. It will also be possible to switch (in the future) between different visualizers.
4) Album-art area will be polished with overlays and transparent areas instead of white areas.
Wrapping it up, I would like to thank Petr for his amazing work and patience during this process. I haven't been the easiest skinner out there, and have demanded quite many new skinning features which I'm sure you'll benefit from in either way. I would also like to thank Rusty. It was his call that this was to become the default skin; I actually didn't want it to be.
I hope you like the skin, and I hope you're enjoying Alpha 5 as much as me. It's a great leap from Alpha 4, and it shows pretty well where MM is headed.
