Topic: Concept Touch Skin

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Here is an idea ive been playing around with for a while now for my fijitsu u1010 vertically
its a 600x 1024 skin layout idea.
Unfortunately ill have to postpone it till after this summer season as ill be flat out for 5 months.
Any one else wanting to land a hand just send me a pm and ill upload the psd file.

Id love a 600x1024 made but id settle for the standard layout sizes too.
I call it virtual tribalism

Was looking for color blending for the sliders as they go up and stronger highlights for the knobs as they get turned up


comments also welcome

As it happens, ive just got my hands on a touchscreen netbook.
if you could pm me a link to your design, prefrably in BMP format, i'll give it a go to build your skin :)

There will be one problem with the skin, the rhythm area needs to be straight.

Some colors for the volume sliders, need to re look at the 2 new added deck buttons they look weird there

<songpos chan="1" orientation="circle" waveform="no" >

But it needs to be a complete circle.

Complete circle? hmm

ive not tryed the waveform="no", but i got it to find my clipmask, and i coloured my circular area properly. it just dosent follow the song as it plays :o

i'll try the above...

ok now i get further, thanks.

Next issue...

<circle x="162" y="139" r="0" anglemin="0" anglemax="360"/>
x= and y= must be the CENTER of the circle, which i was stuck on.
but what does the r="0" mean?
Does it mean ROTATION?

I have the circle starting from 50 degrees, but it ends at the top, with some way still to go.

does it have to end at "12 oClock??"

Your screen is just 5.6 inches diagonal ???

youre gonna need a fairly large font size for the browser if you want to 'touch' with your finger?

Have you tryed to import the screen grab from above? how does the text look?

Im gonna make the text bigger for the artist and song title later.


also..

gonna need to rotate the notch in the graphic round to start at the top.

then i could put a button in the gap to select the Deck...

BTW, r=RADIUS. the distance in pixcels from the center, so that VDJ knows where to put the CUE markers.

not that i use touchscreens at the moment - i am going to be interested in seeing this one.
 

Posted Wed 20 May 09 @ 6:01 am
well this is designed to work on a wide aspect screen rotated thru 90 degrees.
the graphics have been designed to work on a 5.6inch UMPC screen...
im testing it on my 7inch netbook, works great there, and looks better on my 32in LCD :)
but once im finnished, im going to do a remixed verion for bigger monitors.

great to see the skin comming along nicely.
as for the font the bigger the better...
