Project Zune

Well may I introduce to you all Project Zune
A skin based on Microsoft's Zune and the spiritual brother to Winamp iPhone.



So far the album art is working, the zune menu is a work in progress, play and pause is working but im getting the main player interface out of the way first.

It will be for winamp and maybe for xion in the future havent got there yet hehe, I am using photoshop for the graphics and will have some colour themes, equalizer, the zune menu to access the playlist media library...etc and any other suggestions you guys want me to add which I need as I dont have a zune not easily bought here in Australia.
Also the windows will be themed as the zune marketplace which I am working on right now I will post a alpha version soon for you guys to try :)

ideally you do the xion skin before the winamp one, since xion loads a PSD file as skin. just look in the forums or in existing xion skins

if its in psd format all u need to do is rename the layers and flatten any layers with fx for xion, that's how easy it is
so your play button name it play_normal for example
if you get your skin in such a ready state it works in Xion then it will be easy to push out for winamp is what martin was getting at

one of the best things from Xion pov is that its a superb prototype tool for seeing your skin in action realtime from the psd, no other player does this unless you extract stuff out or add stuff thru an editor, this is you make a change and press F5, instant.
you will soon get the hang of Xion and it will help get skins ported quicker to winamp.

!!!--UPDATE--!!!

ok it still needs a lot of work but here is a alpha release of Winamp Zune it has v5.54 features which include stretched album art and the timer fix with many thanks to Martin.Deimos for that.
the component windows are somewhat themed as the zune marketplace there is no close button on it yet.
I need a bit of help with the seeker bar though.
Zune menu is not implemented yet.

Give it a try and tell me what you think :)

w/ ghost="1" you can prohibit the timers to get toggled

just saw that you use a script for the seeker fillbar.
try <ProgressGrid/> instead (see wiki for more info, or bento/cpro/wa modern for a working example)

Thanks martin adding progressgrid did the trick and ghost="1" on the timers works without a hitch :D I have a fade script which i want to use for when the menu is activated i haven't edit anything from it yet just thought you could look at it and see if it will work for what i need.

what exactly will the group stuff do?
i was also thinking of a display menu if you hit the <- button.
it could have the following entries, but is not limited to:
Now Playing (will revert to display)
Playlist (will be the playlistplus object that can also found in music show skin)
Play Mode (playback options like shuffle, repeat, xfade)
Equalizer

at least this is the menu of my zen touch ;)
but yeah your script might basically work

im not sure what stuff will do i had that maki script in a folder somewhere and thought you could figure out how i can use it for the skin i was editing it yesterday and just couldnt get it to compile im not that good with maki.

Thats exactly what im going to use the arrow for :) when pressed the menu fades in and displays text for example music (media library) playlist, radio (opens add url dialog) and shuffle, repeat well pretty much what you wrote.

which way would be better the menu fades out after clicking again the arrow or clicking now playing from the menu?

depends on how 'full' the menu is ;)
my zen touch has the now playing item, but you can also go with the arrow back to the normal display (perhaps try to stimulate what zune really does)

i can help w/ maki as soon i have more time (from 25th July on)

I think pressing the arrow to "return" to the main "now playing" screen would be ideal, one less item in the menu. also how will the volume work on the interface? is it only going to be through the equalizer?
