Beta Builds of Xion. These are builds that are not quite ready for Release, but need feedback and bug submissions in order to move it to Release Status
WinstonGFX Wrote:Does the playlist not support desktop alpha yet?
No it doesn't. In order to support it I'd have to create my own custom windows controls for the playlist and text box, at the least. If I want windows to handle those for me, I can't have Desktop Alpha
WinstonGFX Wrote:Is it my understanding that the border is for dragging to resize and edge is expandable but moveable parts?
Yup, pretty much
WinstonGFX Wrote:Also, I would love to option to stretch instead of tile for border and edge parts.
Yeah, I'll look at this later. For now, tiling is the fastest method.
Give em more and they expect more just a general saying not aimed at anyone heheh
it's still early days yet for the playlist, plus unicode support +lots of other stuff, cmon guys give Cliff a break
I think the problem atm is that hardly anyone has been forthcoming with playlists or even problems related to skinning the playlist, I'm also guilty of not doing a playlist yet, I'm sure I could find issues with just doing a basic playlist let alone thinking about getting dta in there yet.
I think possibly get a few playlists sorted and then look to expand on it with some dta, I know there were other plans on improving Xion going beyond what we have now but not sure how far away that is, so would not like to speculate, I'm sure Cliff will be trying to add in dta but there is only so much that can be done
So in the meantime, just bosh up a few playlists and any issues or concerns with them so Cliff can iron out any further issues, small steps
Cliff I've almost completed my skinned playlist but there are a few things that I am having trouble with.
The little arrow that indicates which song is playing, is there a way to change the color of it from white to a color of my choice like I could with the text and outline?
The borderl, borderr, edgel, and edger are spazzing out quite a bit upon stretching. I can show you the XSF if you'd like.
Also, there are some overlap problems with the pl_list section and a scrollbar when it appears. Is the scrollbar skinnable yet?

Ok cool! Finally some feedback on the current iteration of the playlist!

Ah good point, no there is no way currently, I'll add it for the next build.

Hmm, could you send it to me to see what its doing?
WinstonGFX Wrote:Also, there are some overlap problems with the pl_list section and a scrollbar when it appears. Is the scrollbar skinnable yet?
Scrollbar isn't skinnable. I haven't noticed any issues. Do you have any special themes on?
Would have to say that windows scroll bar is fugly
I know Cliff will add in customizable support for scrollbars and scroll tracks tho
At least my post above has managed to kick start a bit of response Will try and get to looking at a playlist too, we should be excited guys considering we have ALL been looking forward to getting skinned playlists in for a long long time, perhaps it lost its momentum.
We should try and help Cliff iron out the bugs with it tho, there is much work to be done

That's what has confused me, everyone has been dying to have skinnable playlists and now that I've finally started adding support, no one seems interested
Thanks for the feedback so far, I'm making progress to change. I'll be looking back into DTA at some point though, so don't everyone throw their toys away in a tantrum.
WinstonGFX Wrote:Cliff, I think everyone was daunted by the task of creating a skinned playlist without a keyword chart.... but not I
Hehe well thanks for giving it a whirl! The keyword chart is exactly the same, just with some extra keywords that can be found in the playlist.psd in the default.zip, as I'm sure you discovered
just a general saying not aimed at anyone heheh
