I'm pictoratus ... sometimes known as pic.

I was a fairly active skinner at one time, but have been on extended leave. I saw Brainiac's Xion skin at WC and managed to make my way here.

Nice player ... my thanks to you Cliff. Looks extremely easy to skin ... I think I'll come out of retirement and give it a shot.

Looks like a pretty friendly bunch here, as well. :)

Hi Pictoratus,

Welcome to the Xion Community!

I'm honored that Xion has inspired you so much as to make you retire from retirement! Hopefully we'll see some great skins from you in the future!

Cliff :)

Thanks for the welcome Cliff. :D

I'm testing a skin now to see how it will work out. Hopefully I can post it soon. Not sure if it will qualify as 'great' but it will probably be different. :lol:

I've been good. I decided to take a break for a while and it just kept getting longer and longer :lol: I haven't done any skinning for quite a while other than the occasional modification of a WB or two that suited my fancy but needed just a tweak or two to fit my particular tastes.
Xion looks like exactly what I need to jump back in; mostly making the graphics with very little code ... if you can even call naming conventions on PSD layers code. :wink:

Matter of fact, I've got a complete set of graphics that were intended to be a Winamp 5 skin, but writing the code ranked right up there with do it yourself knee surgery without the benefit of anesthetic. Now I remember why I took a break! :lol:

Anyway, enough rambling. After a little more testing I'll upload the skin.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention; the intended for Winamp 5 but now Xion skin is from the Faberge set.

BTW, Knot Vista rocks!
