I mean CMYK in the sense that I will use Cyan Magenta Yellow and Black. It will still be RGB, I just want to play w/ mixing colors.Using 4 layers seems like a fun thing to try.
For instance, yellow is a difficult color to nail down w/ sliders, I can see a benefit to having layers with other colors( a whole channel for yellow, so to speak). In the end it's still RGB:)
Of course, we could have any number of layers or combination of colors, I didn't mean to mislead when I spoke of CMYK, I'm going to "emulate" it.
Later: The slider-based layers in Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow mix well too. I'm seeing that the only way to have a yellow is to leave that layer at 100% or close to it.Then just have that layer at the bottom. I also used 128,128,128 for the background, as well as black and white as backgrounds, both with and without sliders.
Lowering the transparencies to ease mixing also makes the colors murkier, as well as making yellow unavailable.It's a bit of a trade-off...
What I've learned so far is that I don't really need a green layer, or a magenta layer. Red, Blue or Cyan, Yellow and Black (over 128,128,128) make a nice 4 layer cake, hehe. Green and magenta are already easy to make with these layers.This makes yellow available, and the black slider adds another degree of customization.
In the end, I'll probably make a different set of colors/sliders for each skin.The skin below uses painted/environment mapped layers, and mixing these painted effects over a black bg works nice too, as well as adding more depth.
Edit: switched volume and progress to bottom rail so snapping to top of screen is more comfortable.Now I'll add a button to switch vol and prog to top or bottom... And another button to switch the frame to gold or black...
Winston will be happy to hear my Geocities account is at 95% storage, hehe.I will have to start using my 250 GB site.
