Hi! This skin looks awesome, but when I select it in Winamp skin list, it jumps back to the old original one, do I need to do something to get it to work?

Thanks!

Victhor Featured By Owner 6 days ago Hobbyist Interface Designer

Did you unzip the download? I had to put the skin inside a zip due to DeviantArt habit to rename my .wal files (Winamp skin) to .zip (¿?). You should find 1 skin file, 2 txt notes and 1 url shortcut inside the zip.

Looks nice man

Is it possible to have a button that would switch it to a compact version? I really love this skin, but its to big for everyday use. When im only listening to music, its amazing, but when i want to control the music in the background while i do other things, its quite a handful. It would be awesome if you could make something like this: imgur.com/a/7iYIj
Note, i actually took a screenshot and modified it to add what i think would be an appropriate playlist for such a skin.
It would be amazing to be able to switch on the fly. Also, i dont know if winamp even has that capablity but anchoring it to the desktop would be perfect when in compact mode, so a simple Win+D would suffice to minimize all windows except winamp while working on something to change a song etc. Hope you get my idea. xD
In any case, AMAZING SKIN!

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 13, 2017 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Thanks! Compact mode is always on my plans but it usually ends up outside the final release. For my current skin:

I also want a very minimal & clean compact mode so maybe you'll get lucky and I'll tackle 2 skins with (more or less) the same code XD.

PROTOTYPE-0153 Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2017

Yeah, well thats the issue i have. I didnt mean two separate skins, but your big skin to have a button that than turns into a small compact one. So i can change it on the fly with one button click rather than to go to skin select (be it from the context menu or from the preference menu). Like WMP on XP (never used since so no idea how it even looks like on Win 7->10). xD
I remember WMP having the usual window but there was a button to switch it to a compact one. Was a very nice thing. Again, if possible at all and if you are willing/have the time. (*injecting you with da feels here*

Would be nice for my birthday in 2 days *end of injecting you with da feels here*) xD

But what your skin does, i think you can do anything with Winamp. I mean... damn. xD
The best that could happen for me is if you would make that compact skin look like the picture i linked.

Its a shame what happened to Winamp. At its prime time my country didnt have any means to pay for stuff outside our country. (Unless you go in a different country yourself and buy something physically). Im still at a loss that i never got the Pro version. Been at least 20 years since im using it and still use it. I want it revived. Better skinning and control APIs etc... T.T

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 14, 2017 Hobbyist Interface Designer

I WAS talking about a new mode inside the same Komodo X. I mentioned my current skin because I can do the same job once and use it twice (with some minor mods probably).
Anyway, 2 days is absolutely impossible to do it, think more about 2 months heh.

PROTOTYPE-0153 Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2017

Fine with me. 2 months it is than. xD
Jokes aside, im glad you consider adding this. Cant wait to see what you come up with.

fiohrad Featured By Owner Nov 2, 2017

This is the best skin ever!

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 2, 2017 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Thanks buddy!

fiohrad Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2017

Hello, maybe you'd like to add the following tags (if had not done already) to your skin:

- High definition
- big skin
- HD
- for HD screens

Because, I was looking for a skin that look good in a HD monitor, unlike classic or bento skins. But I found nothing, only the same question by other users.
I found KomodoX when browsing modern skins looking for the "biggest one" and solve the problem.
I think a lot of users looking for a HD skin would love KomodoX but don't find it.

Thanks 4 your work!

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 4, 2017 Hobbyist Interface Designer

You're totally right, I'm adding those right now. By the way, if you look for a more familiar interface, I have just released another skin aimed at high resolutions, check it out:

fiohrad Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2017

Hey man This one is awesome as well!

The Bass and Treble controls are something, until now, only MMD3 did have!

And the shortcuts to presests are a great idea!

This is the best ultimate answer for users who use a big TV HD as monitor.

Thanks, really, we're amazed!

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2017 Hobbyist Interface Designer

XD (from end to beginning): There is no need for a "big TV HD as monitor" to make the best use of the skin, actually the bigger problem are laptops with high resolutions (1920x1080 and higher) on rather small screens (i.e. from 13 to 17").

Neither shortcuts to presets nor Bass and treble boost are my ideas. These features are present on skins like Kameleon, Alienware Invader and MMD3 as you mentioned, among others. But I can say I do feel proud of the Playlist Info view, that could be called an original idea of mine

Because also deviantART has made changings now (I have discovered it today), I can hope only, that no new problems will appear with the Web Reader / Web+.

Currently the changings are visible in the galleries and favourites of the artists, while yesterday there were pages yet, and many artists had very much pages.

In the groups I didn't have seen these changings yet, and I have checked Winampers and Komodo-backgrounds.

At least deviantART itself has still http and not yet https...

Awesome!!
This skin is really great! I've been looking for a similar one since ages. All features are nice and I love the cover flow one.
You did a stunning job on it!

is this the final version?

Victhor Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Glad you like it, and yes, is a final version, it has several notes on the skin's limitations but is final for the time being.
I have an improved version on the works, maybe next week I can do an update for it.

SwanLullaby Featured By Owner Dec 30, 2016 Hobbyist General Artist

That sounds nice. I'll stay tuned ^^

Sternenmaschinebine Featured By Owner Edited Nov 15, 2016

I have updated wallpapersdesktop successfully, now I am trying the same with wallpaperscprokao on Mediafire. And I want to leave my link to my forums thread also here:
forums.winamp.com/showthread.p…
But now I have a question about the custom-providers.xml: Some music websites have changed from http to https, while some other websites have still http. But in the codes also those websites appear with http, which had changed to https. Will there be a problem for the Winamp Users, if they use WEB+ very often?
Edit: Also wallpaperscprokao is up to date now. I have to update much more. And for my own Space Nebula Images I have to learn first. I will need very much time. They will be not yet in the .zip-folders because they are not yet done.

Victhor Featured By Owner Nov 15, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

I think you can edit those xmls to switch to https and all will be fine. I'll be updating that for next release anyway, thanks for the tip.

qstdnx Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2016

an unbelievable work , thank you !

Victhor Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Your welcome! XD

qstdnx Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2016

but it not fit to minilyrics

Victhor Featured By Owner Edited Oct 3, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

You sure? It's working fine here >> sta.sh/01nxz8hh1wcg, right click has some glitches but the plugin is known to misbehave on Winamp lately.. Make sure you have latest Winamp version (5.666).

qstdnx Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2016

i mean it is not beautiful enough to fit your skin，It still work normally Wink/Razz

expecting you keep up your thrilling work，i will follow your next version (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Victhor Featured By Owner Oct 5, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Well, I always thought bad about that plugin in terms of aesthetic, but I think it's enough that it has a mode to use skinned window (follows current skin look, like on the screenshot), that's all I can ask for on 3rd party plugins look

qstdnx Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2016

yes, i agree with you. but i prefer background picture，can you try to make a skin for minilyrics match with this skin？ it would be perfect •́ω•̀)

Victhor Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Good idea, almost got it: sta.sh/01valrp3nhhe. I was about to say that "Winamp's skinning engine only comes so far with background images" but an idea came to mind and I almost figure it out.. but looks like minilyrics is using a plain background definition somewhere I can't find. Maybe some more diggin' can get me there..

Anyway, in the worst case scenario you do have the option on Minilyrics to use an image as bg... (which I'm testing and is quite awful though..)

qstdnx Featured By Owner Oct 9, 2016

that`s great, i hope your succeed!. if i use other minilrycs` skin, it can`t move with the winamp. _(:3」∠)_

acid-akuma Featured By Owner Sep 27, 2016

This is a great skin, absolutely love it. Quick question, tho. How can I remove a custom background? Added it by accident and it's quite embarrassing, I'd rather not see it there. Thanks

Victhor Featured By Owner Sep 28, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Thanks! Glad you like it.
There are two ways to remove the background from the background list, none of them is as elegant as I'd like, but will do the job: just keep adding backgrounds until the unwanted pic / thumb dissapears.

Or, go to the folder where the unwanted picture is, and name ANOTHER pic with the exact name of the unwated one (you'll have to rename the original first), so when you re-open Winamp it will display the new pic instead.

Hope I didn't tangled up myself with the answer..

acid-akuma Featured By Owner Sep 29, 2016

thanks

Sternenmaschinebine Featured By Owner Aug 6, 2016

Currently I am ready with my favourites on deviantART, incl. many desktop wallpapers, which I test on my PC & notebook also for Komodo (via DESKTOP). These favourites can be stretched from 4:3 to 16:9 and 16:10 without problems. And I will reach the 600 .jpg-files in wallpapersdesktop inside of Milkdrop2 and also in my backup locations on C, so that I cannot get bored.
I have seen already some of the newer desktop wallpapers, and they look pretty cool, together with one of the best Winamp Skins, with Komodo X Touchscreen.
Keep up Your good work!!!...

Victhor Featured By Owner Aug 6, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Wow! Looks like you're really enjoying Komodo X, cool! Thanks for the support!!

JermaineH Featured By Owner Edited Apr 30, 2016

It looks really nice and trendy, thanks for it. There are only few of them still maintaining the Winamp stuff, you are one of them. But it crashes while playing the new songs just added.

Victhor Featured By Owner May 1, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Thanks for the words. On some PCs it seems to have that bug you mention. On the new version I'm working, I'm trying to catch it. Unless your PC is really old, just rebooting the PC makes the issue disappear, have you tried that?

BlazeArc Featured By Owner Edited Mar 12, 2016

It's crazy how much you've outdone yourself with this one. Congrats!

EDIT: Although I have encountered a problem. I just tried playing a song with Japanese characters in the title and Winamp crashed completely. Loaded up Winamp again and froze followed by closing itself again as quickly as the player loaded. Had to delete the skin just to continue using Winamp. Just felt like I should let you know.

Victhor Featured By Owner Mar 12, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Ey! It's a shame you've deleted the skin, maybe a cleaning would have done the trick (basically, just delete studio.xnf on C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Winamp). Or just rename the skin and load it again, it's not a common crash, I've tested with some kanjis and it's working fine so far. Maybe is the way it's encoded (I just used Winamp internal mp3 tagger). Some examples >> sta.sh/21q7mtsbe9c5

BlazeArc Featured By Owner Mar 12, 2016

Hm, I'll have to try that out then.

mskyaxl Featured By Owner Edited Jan 18, 2016

Great skin! the only annoying thing I found so far is that I cannot move it to the 3rd screen of my setup. I have 2 Display connected to my dedicated nvidia video card and one to the on board video card and when I move the window from one of the Displays connected to Nvidia card to the Intel card it automatically returns to the Nvidia. Do you have any Idea why do I have this issue?

Victhor Featured By Owner Jan 17, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Ey, thanks!
Check if you have enabled "Snap window" (Main menu > Options > Window sizing > "Snap window to sides (Like Win7 + AeroSnap)". Disable it and try again.
Please report here if this solved it.

mskyaxl Featured By Owner Jan 18, 2016

Thanks for your quick reply!
Yes, it is better, I can move it to the display connected to my Intel card but I cannot maximize it. If I maximize it(I quess it's called full screen here) it goes back to my main screen.
I somehow managed to resize it to the size of full screen...

Victhor Featured By Owner Edited Jan 19, 2016 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Congratulations, you´ve found a bug.. ¬_¬

As a side note, check if the "Custom size" button >>

can help you, it didn't in my case but at least some part of the skin stayed on the current screen so I just had to re-place it on-screen.

mskyaxl Featured By Owner Edited Jan 19, 2016

Hi Victhor, I believe the fullscreen is done only on the Display that has the 0,0 coordinates. In my situation before clicking fullscreen, my window's position is -1280, 1280
