The same to you ~

Thanks your idea!

Thanks for the skin, gj =). I just noticed that I'm using it with FW V2.002.1 so i guess it works for all V.2002.X.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

hello can u update this skin with the last firmware?

Thx

muhyidin, Updated to 2.003.2, sorry i took so long.

thx this one is my favorite and i was waitin the update to change my firmware version

VERY VERY VERY nice, how long did you work for it?

I really like the way the top menu bar is transparent and has kind of a drop shadow below it.

Would there be a way to achieve this effect without changing any other thngs (symbols and such)?

Thanks.

Zaan, What is it you want to achieve?

Well, I really like the look of the background wallpaper, combined with the transparent menu bar and the drop shadow effect. Right now, I find the lackluster menu bar of the miniplayer to be one of the most 'boring' parts of the interface, so I was just thinking I might want to replace it. I have no problems with the rest of the interface though, so I'm not quite ready to go full-time with a complete skin.

Ok, if undersand correcty you want stick with the theme you are using but jazz up the top bar and add a drop shadow.

Do you have any image editors installed on your PC? I can make you a template for either Photoshop or PhotoImpact.

That's exactly right.

I have Photoshop installed here, so that would work.

However, I wouldn't really know how to go about putting any kind of template into the miniplayer's firmware, though I'm willing to learn.

You can download the templates here:

There are 2 one for the Background which has the drop shadow and the other for the top bar. All you need to do is open them in Photoshop and add whatever picture you want to use as the wallpaper on your player, then move the picture to the back so that it is behind the dropshadow\topbar and save them as .bmp files.
The topbar you should save 347.bmp, the background as 353.bmp.

If you open the resource editor (I prefer this one as it remembers the image numbers : http://www.meizume.com/attachment.ph...3&d=1176045523) then load your resource.bin file you will see a folder called "Pictures" in the left side. Expand it and go to image #347 which is the top bar. When you click on the image number you will see the image on the right. Right click on the picture and select (I) to import your newly save image, then go to the directory where you saved your images and select 347.bmp then do the same with 353 for the background (or you could just load the background through the photo viewer on your player).

Then save the resource file and load to your player as normal.

The image numbers quoted above are for firmware version 2.002.3 the numbers may differ if you are using a different version.

Thanks, /\/\@D/\/\@/\/, that is very helpful. I'll try it right away.

share u future work

Also, I must thank /\/\@D/\/\@/\/ again for the delightful help.

Ok... I'm kind of getting hooked into all of this.

I've now made a 'green' option for menu bar color, to match my chosen wallpaper thing better.

It looks like I'm going to skin this thing.

However, it seems I left out one of the side scroll-bars. I got the biggest one and another one, they are 049 and 042. Could someone tell me which other file I got to replace to totally change the Menu Bar Color?

I'm liking it very much. When it's ready I'll post it.

All thanks to /\/\@D/\/\@/\/!

i really like this skin the only thing about it is the round edges the scrollbar doesn't match it if u can make the scrollbar round it would be nice and if u cant u should make the edges sharp instead of round

You need to be using one of the newer 2.00X.X version firmware and tapping the touchpad 3 times while playing music will take you to the visualization screen. You also need to set Background Blend in the display settings to 10 - 12.
