This is mainly a fix/update of FWie Skin ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) by roopr with some other things (If You have any suggestions/ or find bugs, tell me i'll try to fix them :) )

I fixed/changed the following things:

- Changed Exit Button (Aero Style)
- Changed Minimize Button (Aero Style)
- Added Maximize Button (Aero Style)
- Added Shade Mode Button in Audio Mode (Aero Style)
- Added Shuffle Button
- Added Repeat Button
- Fixed Playlist Bottom Panel (with right panel)
- Fixed an Issue in Audio Mode (there was also in MAC one) when if you have KMPlayer already opened and you open a song it doesn't play but stays in pause
- Changed TrackCursor
- Changed Scrolling Button on Playlist (need further work, cause i don't like it too much :P )
- Fixed Title Scrolling to avoid it going under the new buttons
- Fixed Minimum Height and Width to avoid control buttons collapse
- Added Shade Mode to use the player like a gadget in W7 (minimal Interface)
- Changed Bars on Context Menu


Attached below there are some screens. Enjoy!

(I've not uploaded yet on portal, cause i want know first if you find any bugs)

i absolutely like the skin many many thanx ^^ ,,
just wanna ask if there is away (any setting should i set) to minimize the frame to the most in the video mode
(i.e when i want to here the song only without seeing the clip)

[SimoxTa]

Added the Shade Mode also for video as requested :) and modified the Shade with one smaller (150px wide) like the other vista/7 gadgets, I'm still looking to add some other buttons in it, so consider it temporary. Asap I'll find a way I'll post an updated version :cool:

[memo]

thanx a lot :)

very nice and clean skin,
you can maybe add button for subtitles adding

[SimoxTa]

U mean showing/hiding Subs or open the file *.srt? I'm working on it plus some fixing (i noticed one on maximize button :) )

If You think any other function should be available faster on the skin, feel free to ask, if i'm able to add them i'll be happy to do it

[maynak00]

very useful skin, thanks

[SimoxTa]

Taking the best from all the skin i found, this is a mockup of what i'm introducing. ASAP i finish the work i'll post a refresh :) (this image is the control panel open clicking on the middle button (between open and playlist)

[mad]

Love the FWie skin, and now I am using your one too :)
Keep up the great great work.

Here we are, new preview before the final (I hope) version.
I think it's almost finished, need to improve a bit the playlist and the shade mode.

Basic Changelog:
- Added full ControlBox directly from main window
- Added new button to access directly on the integrated ControlBox
- Moved file filters in the top-left corner
- Added visualization on Shade mode
- Fixed Bug with the Restore Button on maximized windows
- Added subtitles button on minimized skin (only video mode)
- Changed scrollbar on playlist

To Do List:
- Improve a bit the Playlist (manage album, move track position etc.)
- Improve a bit the Shade mode (probably one giant button for playlist, that is the only thing really necessary in Shade mode IMHO)
- Take a look on WDMMode and DVDMode (Maybe adding some specific buttons, I'll decide)
- If i'm not too lazy i'll change the color of A-B Repeat (now it's black when inactive but when you go over it eith the cursor, it glows very nicely)

- Moved file filters in the top-left corner
I like it better where it was :) But this is your skin.

[3dmahdi]

it's a nice skin and I like it.
but file name is not in center. look at to image you attached in your last post and compare position of filename and KMPLAYER.

[bastik]

I tried this skin, but you can't resize in audio mode. I'd like to disable visualization completely. Also you can't select the playlist form the playlist editor.

If this is wanted I don't care, just wanted to report.

[SimoxTa]

Here I am, sry guys for the delay answering u :)

Let's make the point then ^^

@ 3dmahdi: the file title was intended as is, because in the original version the buttons were smaller so was possible to keep the text long enough and centered, now, instead, considering that almost 1/4 of the top windows is occupied on the right, leaving it in center would cause (IMHO) too much scrolling on long titles

@ bastik: Actually the Audio mode is fixed in size cause there is a bug provided by the height of the window that prevents (if kmplayer is already opened) to automatically play the next song (so u have to manually click on play). I filled the space with visualizations for that way.
I'll have to work on it (its a matter of coordinates, i've to rebuild completely the trackbar and hope to fix it :) ) If u don't understand what i mean, i suggest u to download the FWiE skin and try opening by double clicking some files and u'll see :P (it's a bit hard to explain it in fluent english ^^ but i hope u got it).

About the playlist as i said before i simply imported the old one but i'm planning to improve it asap.

I hope to have answered to all your questions :)

you can place title in the left. but it's your skin do what you wish.

You know!! I really like it.. ^^

But there are some problem with the video size..

When i turn to Original Size, it's wide screen.. Could you fix it?

[bacuda]

The minimum width size is too big. I think if you can make all the button closer it can reduce the size? By the way, really nice skin so far
