Artist's Note

Well, this is my first ever skin! The idea was inspired a long time ago when I found the t-bar skin. I thought it was cool to have a player that sat in the title bar (of a maximised app) making it easy to control your music without it obscuring other stuff.
So here is my take - I've tried to make it nice to look at (sort of glassy, blue glowing stick thing), with enough features to make it useful yet easy to use.

Quick Summary:
- Mini-skin designed to fit in title bar area, with shrink mode to make it even smaller
- Play, pause, previous, next, mute, volume, seek, repeat mode, shuffle mode, close, full mode controls
- Playlist in standard mini-mode
- Track info (toggles between count up, count down and length)
- Mini-video screen
- Resizable midi-video / visuals screen with vis prev/next, full screen
- Remembers and restores settings from previous session

Most things that respond to a click are obvious - they glow or the cursor changes - but some are not (e.g. the track time, the playlist title), if in doubt - click it! I'm not a designer, so bear that in mind when you critique the gfx!! :) I'm planning some extensions and niggle fixes, so this is not the last version.
Any comments, questions or bug reports (AFAIK there are no showstoppers!) are welcome - hopefully not too many of the latter!!.

Hope you enjoy!!

	Arznek: very winamp.. cool idea, but it's kind of ugly. Sat, Aug 23rd at 02:36pm (6 years ago)
	report Bizzare says: Hmm, they do say beauty is in the eye of the beholder :) Although I'm biased, I don't think it could be described as ugly - that's a bit strong!! Try it and see, is my advice. You can always delete it if you don't like it... Biz Mon, Sep 15th at 05:29am (6 years ago)
	report liverbird says: I think Arznek is blind as a bat. I think its so cool and its saves a lot of space on my screen cause I have it on top. I have been using this skin now for quite some time. Everytime I boot my computer, I go right back to this skin. I have your skin link saved. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. PS: Yes, the word ugly is too stronge to described this lovely skin.
