Xion Community

I want to make this one really sweet... any good ideas for placement of the different controls, and/or VU animations? Thanks

Looks good so far.

I think some sort of pulsing VU in the iris area would be great. A sort of soft glow maybe.

I'm not too sure about the rim/base. I love the spherical effect and think it'd be better if the whole skin was a glass sphere with just the contols you have and just adding volume and progress controls inside somewhere.

lookin good, we have Graviton @ SC, a similar concept, i started porting it to Xion the other day

Nice skin man, how about calling it Iris . The track, time and progress could be under the buttons, and maybe volume and balance on the sides.

Nice skin man, whats the original made for?

As soon as I saw this I thought, "Graviton!"

yea which is why i posted, not to detract from KEV-Os' skin idea but to offer some inspiration and also point out we're porting the skin to xion as much as possible

we're hoping to make Xion a part of the skins process @ SC, its a natural for first parts of the almost final psd leading onto Winamp and hopefully wmp (wmp skins will be done at some point)

Ooh! I've never seen graviton before. I think mine is different enough that I'll go ahead and continue making it as long as no one objects. Hypercannon- I like the name iris... I may go with that! I'm hoping to include a lot of animation within this skin. We'll see if I find the time! haha

djinn2- I tried it without the 'rim' and it didnt look right... I think it needs something around the outside at least.

oh yea kev, wasnt trying to imply anything, just a similarity in the idea, as skry said the first thing he thought was Graviton hehe

looking forward to seeing your one develop


@HyperCannon
Winamp is the original target, will get an update fairly shortly

Beautiful as usual, Kev-O. Had to catch my breath.
