Mellon Skins V 1.3.1.0 (05.09.2011)

[heartofhate]

wow, thank you again for this great skin. hopefully there will be rc of MM4.
unfortunately this won't work for MM3 fully... for example the mainscreen is white.

one thing i noticed when i looked at your skin more closely (never noticed it before):
there are everywhere about 2px borders between the windows/scrollbars. BUT if you move the bar with the playing controls in the main window then there is only a 1px border. is this a bug by MM4 or did you just miss something?
here a screen what i mean:

I already start to work on an MM3 version ,

Well your screenshot don't shows the current Mellon version,check first post!
but yes ,the panel / window / border handling from MM is a bit curious,
it's a general Monkey problem in all versions and not satisfactorily resolved until now ,
it's already reported and i hope for fixes in future releases .

Very nice! I like the design.

I haven't upgraded to MM4 just yet, but this is almost reason enough to get me to do so.

Thank you!

good to know that you do not forget the good "old" version

Well your screenshot don't shows the current Mellon version,check first post!

actually i have updated it and it even says version 1. i do not know what could have happened there...

If you use MM4 , the mmip file store's the skin.msz into AppData / Roaming / MediaMonkey /Skin folder
and you have to delete the old Skin file in your regular MM Skin folder.
I think so

[heartofhate]

i'll try that when i am back home.

I upload a Aeroplayer version for MM4 ,
and a MediaMonkey3 version with reduce iconset and some small changes;
both are msz files and have to be store in the necessary Skin folders,

also a LyricsViewer skin and MonkeyRok skin ,
both are zip files and have to be unzipped to be stored in the necessary Script/skin folders .

for download look on first side.

Enjoy

Cheers DreadM for putting up the Aero version of the Mellon Skin, it looks top notch, I can see how you've sorted the text out on Aero and it really looks good. I'll still stick to your delletronic skin for most of the time, until I bin my laptop and get a desktop PC and i'll sure be using Mellon on a bigger screen.

Thanks again!

thank you dreadm for the MM3 skin. looks nice!
btw, there wasn't a skin at all at the mediamonkey4 folder (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey4\Skins). but well... i just deinstalled MM4 because i do not use it anyway (yet). there is still too much to develop and bugs/improvements sprout out like aspargous after every new inital release.

one thing though about the MM3 skin (i do not know if it is the same in the MM4 skin):
why did you shose a different colour for the selection in the tree and in the main window. when i mark a artist (or whatever) in the tree it gets purple and in the main window only the whole album appears purple (the selection itself is green - so the rating cannot be seen ).

here a screen what i mean:

main window:

Nice skin, but the Lyrics Viewer title fonts are too large.

Nice skin, but the Lyrics Viewer title fonts are too large.

After a few hours use, I love it more.

Very different, very cool.

I still think the Lyrics Viewer title fonts are too large, but I can live with it.

You can tweak it to your taste. Just edit this file:
C:\Users\%YOURUSERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\LyricsViewer\themesMellon\style.css

In the lower part of the file, there are some lines beginning with h1, h2 and so on, with a comment at the end of line (like "/* Song Title */", explaining its meaning.
Just edit the font-size: property in each line as you like and save the file. Then go to MM, right-click LV and select "Refresh".

They are a little larger than most skins, but my old eyes love them.

There are 3 options :
1: to change the select colors
2: change the ratings
3:or both

at the moment i give the green ratings a white border ,same as in the aeroplayer and MonkeyRok skin
looks like this:


what you think ?
