Xion Community

something I'm working on, still a bit unsure about the name though
I hope I can finish it before losing interest lol

btw, is there any documentation on skinning the playlist? (I see it''s skinned in the latest beta)

WOAH! Do It!

Download the latest beta and dig through the PSD for the Playlist to learn it all It's also in the layer refs http://xion.r2.com.au/index.php?page=layerref

Style and design - Awesome.

Scale - Lame. I can't see a damn thing on that 'LCD'. Have to squint and lean close to read it.

That's usually a really bad thing.

looks good, similar thing as logokas said, I think there's too much going on in the middle tho, probably enough for 3 modes out of that lot

thanks for the feedback, guys
it is really cluttered in the middle now that I have a good look at it...

I guess I could just scale everything up (still working with vectors at the moment, so just a matter of exporting it at a slightly higher resolution), but then I don't want the skin to wind up too big and take up half the screen

On the other hand, I could rearrange the information and move some stuff into a drawer and still keeps the current size (which I kinda like)

any thoughts?

the bottom ring section could be removed entirely imo, it doesn't look to serve any purpose, that would make it a bit smaller going forward

yea I was thinking of making an option to hide it... kinda useless XD

Actually I got side-tracked already lol, working on these at the moment

I have a beta of the middle one available here if anyone's interested

as I was working on this, I noticed that the crossfade indicator and the repeat track indicator are behaving kinda strange, are they broken at the moment? or maybe I just don't really understand how they work <_<
can anyone shed some light on this? thanks in advance

If you'll notice, the crossfade indicator is available in build 121, which hasn't been released yet

cerberux Wrote:repeat track indicator

In what way is this not working? Since build 118 there are 2 keywords. indi_repeat and indi_repeattrack

thanks for the clarification on the crossfade, cliff.
That was silly of me...

-for the repeat indicator
I'm on build 120 and when I have both repeatall and repeattrk in there, the repeatall won't hide itself even when repeat is off (it was fine when I only had repeat)

you can see this happening in the skin I posted above

Ah I see, looks like you found a bug, I'll look into it and get a fix for 121, thanks!

awesome! thanks and you're welcome

On a completely unrelated note, I use a mouse that has build-in buttons for play / pause / previous / next etc. but they don't seem to work with xion, is there anyway to enable it? maybe something I can change in the preference? any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can probably program them to do what you want in Xion Prefs > Global Hot Keys > Assign Key

Hey thanks winston, that worked.. wish I would've asked sooner lol

although I can only bind one set of keys (which means either keyboard or mouse for me, as I have media buttons on both) but I can live with that... hardly ever use the keyboard ones anyway

funny though, the global hotkey doesn't seem to save on exit...

so am i supposed to change them every time I start up xion again?

cerberux, you might have come across a possible bug, post this in the 120 beta thread so Cliff can pick it up to look at.
