Continuum Skin Read Me



This is the readme for the Continuum skin for Aeroplayer 1.0

When you unzip this file you will notice that I have 3 versions of the skin... and also have them in 8bit and 16bit resolution. This is because Aeroplayer only supports 8bit (256) color graphics, but if you use a program like ScreenPrefs, Khroma or others to force 16 bit graphics on your TT then you might want to use the 16bit version of the files... they have less pixelation.

There really isnt any difference in the skins except for the quality of the graphics and the file size. The size of the Hires skins are about double, but this is still only about 85K. If you arent using a program to force 16bit graphics, please use the 8bit files... they are smaller and they will look better than the others.

DIRECTORIES:
  • 8bit: Normal skin files
  • 16bit: High Resolution skin files


  • SLIDERS:
  • The slider on the left side is the volume, and the track position is underneath the playlist in the icon area. The slider to the right (along with the up/down buttons) will scroll the playlist screen.

    ICONS:
  • These are the icons used on the toolbar in the skin, I have included a couple extra to support possible upcoming features. My including these in no way predicts what may be in the player in the future; I just wanted to avoid having to shuffle around icons if more features are added later.

    Playlist view mode
    Placeholder (maybe for a view track info)
    Repeat
    Shuffle
    Placeholder (maybe for file open or playlist open)

    BUGS:
    No real bugs noted at this point, though you may notice that there isnt a on/off state for the playlist up/down buttons. This should be fixed in the future.

    CONTACT:
    If you have any problem with this skin, you may contact me below.. I welcome suggestions also!
    I will be writing a skinning FAQ so that others can jump in here and do some more skins for this great player. But that will come a little bit later. I also wouldnt mind creating some skins based on my artwork, the 3 skins I have done are all ports from existing Windows Media Player skins.
