Please, refer to AIMP Skin Editor Help -> Skin Structure -> Controls -> Text Labels -> Example: Timer

Cool, this is it. Thanks.

I managed to fix the problem. Thanks to that Hit-Test hint.

How to get rid of those 00? I'd like that time to be displayed as 15:23 for example, without any zero in front of it.

I meant that these should be just text labels. As they're now, when I click them they switch between them. I'd like to know a way to make these non-clickable and only the seekbar under them to be clickable.

SkinEditor, SkinEngine (archive) / TrackPosition & TrackRemaining over a seekbar

« on: December 08, 2014, 21:46:28 »

Hi. I need to display two fields (TrackPosition & TrackRemaining) over a seekbar. But, I want these two fields to not be clickable (instead the the click should work with the seekbar behind them).

Any solution (a template perhaps)?

Also I'd like to display TrackPosition & TrackRemaining without those zeroes in front of them.

Nice!

Few changes that I'd make:
- Make the Play / Stop / Prev / Next / Repeat / Shuffle as big as the top buttons (Minimize, etc).
- Change the color or add bold to the Artist - Album headers in the playlist. They should look a bit different than the songs from the playlist.
- Align Quick Search text on the left, not on the right.
- Wider scrollbar thumb.

I like it. Still, I'd make the scrollbar wider and the contrast between volumebar and seekbar higher.

Interesting skin. However there are many problems:
- All fonts are too small.
- Scrollbar too thin.
- Some non-standard icons on essential buttons. It took me some seconds to find the Minimize button...
- The order of the main buttons. I'd put them in this order: Play, Pause, Stop, Prev, Next, Open.
- The main menu button is very badly positioned. Remove the Scheduler (you can find it on main manu anyway and you don't use it often) and put the main menu button here.
- Remove also the Utilities button. You can find it on the main menu anyway.
- That top area is very crowded. Add some space between elements. Add another bar on top with the artist / title and the Minimize / Maximize / Always on Top / Close buttons. Minimize button should be the first one because it's used very often.
- Just a strip of a cover art? It seems useless. I'd remove it.
- Two volume icons? Keep it just the one for mute.
- The volume bar should have a design similar to seekbar. Why make it thinner? There should be a common theme between all elements. Otherwise the whole skin seems cheesy.

What I don't like:
- The non standard play button (also make it static).
- The space between the bottom buttons and quick search bar
- The scrollbar is too thin. Make it wider.
- The colors of the Minimize, On Top, Close buttons should be the same color with the EQ, Playlist, etc, buttons. They seem like they're from another skin.
- There's some text in Russian. Make either the whole skin in English or in Russian.
- The Play/Previous/Next buttons should look more like the bottom buttons (+, -, etc).
- Make the title of the song smaller and switch it with the artist name.
- The tabs are too narrow. At least make the font of tabs a bit smaller.
- The volume bar and the seekbar shouldn't have the same length. It's quite confusing. You can solve that easily: reduce the height of the Play/Previous/Next buttons and extend the seekbar until near the right edge of the mainwidow. Of course resize the elements to fit just right and also keep some space between them.

Hi. I established a cover as the main worker, but it would be desirable to add some functions, for example: to add the counter of time of playing of a track and also that when aiming at a strip of scrolling (SeekBar), progress not as a percentage, and in minutes and seconds was displayed.
You could make these additions or send me on e-mail the project that I could make the necessary changes independently. Thanks.

Hi.

1. "to add the counter of time of playing of a track". But it isn't already one (right next to the visualisation area)? Or do you mean something different? By the way, you can click that Track Position area to switch between Current Track Position and Remaining Track Position.

2. "progress not as a percentage, and in minutes and seconds was displayed". OK. I'm working on the version 1.1 that will have some changes, including this one. Also I'll replace the Mute button (useless IMO) with a Tag button that shows the Quick Tag Editor for the selected file(s).

Simple and clean design.

Still, I would use complete circles at the main buttons (not cut in the middle as they're now).

Under the "Electro" I seen something with zippers

In this case, Electro was supposed to be a short version for Electronic.

+1 Good job

Thanks.

but not what I expected to see after reading the title.

Do you mean "Electro" or that the skin is All-In-One?

Clean design, I like it.

I would change:
- scrollbar/seekbar/volumebar more thick.
- bigger font everywhere.
- main controls (play, stop, etc) smaller.

It looks nice. However, I would change few usability related things:
- seekbars and small buttons to have a bigger height;
- add icons on the buttons without them (I don't like to guess the function of a button);
- wider scrollbar and a bigger thumb button;
- quick search text aligned to right or centered.
