Untitled, by JayEm

A clean, minimalistic skin. Less is more.
Including maximized versions for TV and PC (both light and dark themes). Made especially for full screen display.

So, I didn't come up with any particular name for this skin, so I'll just call it 'Untitled'. Seems simple enough. It's mainly made for full screen display.

Still in development | Version 0.2 Download

Screens:

Maximized with panel and toolbar open

Please comment, all opinions are good.

looks very good and usable

Yes. I like it.

Both - the fullscreen and the desktop version. The cover shadow is pretty good. And the layout is great too.

Don't forget to update your first post! Once the skin is final, we'll upload it to our Skin Gallery.

Thx chiwou and barberio!

Yeah, I will update everything when the final version is done. But I need to tweak many things here and there first, so it may take a while.

If anyone find any bugs, please report in this thread.

Well, taking a closer look at the different styles, I have to say: I don't have a clue what you should improve here. Found no bugs so far, and slowly falling in love with the minimalistic but yet elegant design.
Textline 5 on the max styles is a really fine addition, and the progressbar is done very well too (pleases my eyes).

What I would change (just my likings here) is the fade in/out of the toolbar elements on top and the play buttons at the bottom. It could be smoother and a little bit slower. But as I said - just my preferences.

Can we expect other backgrounds on the max styles too (as an alternative / I prefer darker bg's).
Apart from my wishes: Great skin!

Yeah, the whole idea of the minimalistic design was to get rid of all the nonsense. I like it very much and I'm glad you do too. The stuff I need to tweak are things you probably wont notice anyways. Like shadow opacity, background noise, max characters etc.

The fade in/out is zeroed because it's more responsive that way. It's an easy fix for anyone who want it on, so I'll leave it as it is.

You can expect only one more background color, and that of course would be a dark version. But I don't think it will be added quite yet. The first skin I made had several backgrounds, but in the end all you really need is two, in my opinion. One bright, and one dark. The rest is redundant.

As soon as my god damn iTunes library will function properly again, expect to see some updates. Perhaps next week or so, too busy with other stuff

I didn't mention the lyrics panel - which is very good too.
Well, I'm looking forward to a final release.

JayEm · #8 11-01-2011, 10:13 PM

I'm gonna put this project on hold for a while, got too much other stuff to do. But when I release the final, it will be with both light and dark versions.

Sure.

Take your time.
I am also someone who needs long for his skins (haven't released anything since a year now!). Some skins are unfinished here on my HD, but I don't find the time or patience to finish them.

thanks for the generous share, mate!
