Pure Adium

[OtisBee]

...Those skins of yours look real snazzy Otis, but they dont work for me. Dont know what/if Im doing something wrong when trying to use them...

thx!
although i'd definitely like to know more about the issues you're experiencing with my skins (why my skins only and if it affects all of them) i however got the impression that we start losing focus on this topic's subject.
perhaps (and that's what i really hope for) you can start a new topic regarding that matter in the Skin Talk or General Discussion board, because i think it's not a concern for this skin of yours only and therefore might be of some interest for other members as well.

There are times when I start CAD, and if the mouse happens to be over the player when its loading, then the control buttons dont load properly with the skin. They load with a extra high transparency and slight flickering. Is it happening only to me? Any idea what causes this and how to fix it?

try avoiding your mouse being placed over the skin when it's loading. ;D
or move the mouse away from the skin next time and then hit the F5 key on your keyboard (which will reload the skin).
does it happen with this skin only?

since you've configured your toolbar to appear on mousover (which is basically fine) my guess would be that a mouseover before the skin is fully loaded is causing some trouble for CAD which got kinda mixed up with the elements and which to draw first and last.
so, if you'd give CAD a little more time to fully load a skin before you'd mouse over it everything should be working fine again.


as i've mentioned above...
...i got the impression that we start losing focus on this topic's subject.
your skin more and more turns out to be a work-in-progress (WIP).
a skin release topic however is meant to be for skins ready to be used and being fully functional at the point of their release.
usually i'd expect some member's feedback on the according skin. perhaps a few suggestions or even questions.
but there's a much more better place to discuss general CAD issues and/or skinning matters.

so, please make use of the General Discussion and Skin Talk board as soon as your experiencing issues or having questions that are no longer dealing with a specific skin explicitly.

i hope you'll understand.


now, to get back on track of your Pure Adium skin i think that "+" and "-" volumecontrols are the better choice here.
the skin actually doesn't provide too much space and its overall appearance might soon get cluttered, so tiny "+" and "-" volumecontrols might be a good idea to avoid that.

Updates (file updated in first post)

- Added slider volume control.
- Made some more changes using the new builds skin editor, so it should be more compatible with version 2.0

@Otis - sorry about that. I didnt know there was a WIP section out here. Anyway, I think Im done with the skin now, so if you or Carlos could upload it to the skins section whenever you'll want, that'd be cool

Using this skin and loving it. Very simple and refined.

It seems to show volume as a percent replacing the song title when you use the scrollwheel on the mouse. I would like to know how I can customize it so that the title is retained and that volume percent appears off to the side.


Edit:
This looks like it is a CAD feature not unique to this skin. I would still love any help/advice but I will be making a different thread for this question.

I have answered your question here.

I never try to do so, but I do not think this is feasible, but on a vertical timing and progress of the rights. Have the option of a vertical volume bar?
