Dude, I sure hope your art skills make you a 6 figure income.

Thanks man,

The sad thing is, that I rarely get paid to use them. Outside of doing logos for you guys and some stuff for my wife's office, it's just a hobby. I work at my buddy's sign shop now and then, but not designing. Just application and layout. Most people don't want to pay extra for the designing and just use text & clipart.

I have no degree in art. In fact, I dropped out of high school and got my GED in 1983. Since then, I do what it takes. :sqfrown:

Maybe I'll get discovered by exercising my talent out here in cyberspace. I'd pack up the family and go tomorrow if I could.

(hear that Rick)
 
Dude I am sooooo hooked on this skin stuff... now if I could create like hank does... man


You know with all these iPod'ish skins.... you could really start marketing this as a replacement to media player.... and not just us cheap azzed DJ's.

I know I'd kill for a skin like what hank is doing...
 
Speaking of LED lights.....

The level indicator lights... even after I set everything to zero the outline for them still appear in all of my skins and I can't turn them off to design my own... style.

What am I missing if i have all of the visable="0" set and they still show?


I am using the DarkGray xml as my launching pad along with the graphics... I like the round buttons... but, it seems that if I set everything to zero they should dissapear, right?
 
If they are touching other items on the screen, the may still show. Check the xy. If you don't want them at all and they are showing still. Set the xy off the page.

That is what we call an "undocumented feature", in the business :sqlaugh: :sqwink:

It only happens if the value="vu" type is used. I didn't catch that before release, because all my skins had them showing.

Take vu out of the value, and it will then disappear :)
 
Hank, downloaded the Exec. Try something on your end and see if you get something weird. I have my desktop set at 1280x....when I want to drag the RockIt window, the background in your jewel cases get wacky. See if you get that too. Looks like you have them transparent. Maybe drop a black background into them.
 
Sorry, I did not include the CD "no art" image.

Just place it in the main Softjock directory:

Thanks for the heads up. I'll adjust the zip file.

Randy,

Let me know if you need a larger resolution. I can extend the carpet and show more lists.
 
The actual line. The wav from. Also the entire progress line. I labeled 1,2,3 the same gray color as the text and they show as white.

On the progress lines, make sure nothing is in the value="" field. That overrides the colors, and uses built in hatch brushes I made. If there is no match for a hatch brush, I'm not sure what it will show...

Hang on, let me look at my source code... tic-toc, tic-toc...


For progress controls, the value can range from H1-H7, anything else is undefined.

For VU meters, the values can be V1-V5, H1-H4.


On the viewpeak, the linecolor is the actual color of the wave itself. The gridcolor, is the little dotted center line.

I sorta knew that, but the linecolor and gridcolor are not accepting my choices.

EXAMPLE:

<viewpeak action="vp-a" visible="1" x="427" y="120" w="129" h="025" linecolor="6E6B68" bkcolor="82AEBF" gridcolor="6E6B68" tcolor="000000"/>

<viewpeak action="vp-b" visible="1" x="605" y="304" w="129" h="025" linecolor="6E6B68" bkcolor="82AEBF" gridcolor="6E6B68" tcolor="000000"/>
