Forum: VirtualDJ Skins

Topic: Everyone who makes skins- pleez read!!!

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Ok, I like a lot of the skins people make, but this is really annoying me and I hope everyone listens to what I have to say!!!

I mainly use Atomixmp3 to DJ at a local club, and I have tried different skins, but the ones I use are the ones that have in the beat window:

1) A black background
2) One song as green
3) One song as red

The reason is simple- it is the easiest to see! I can't use anything else because the backgroud is either too light, or the song colors are too close together. So please, everyone who makes skins, use the classic black background and green and red songs!

You can edit the "beat window" yourself. Just copy and paste this in the rythm area of the xml file. You will need to open it with notepad to edit it. I too like the green and red mixing curves.

color chan1="1" chan2="2" both="3"

Now you will need to place a / at the end of this command, but the forum does not allow it to be posted all in one for some reason.

Point understood but as homeboy said you can easily make the adjustments yourself in the XML-file...

Being a bedroom-DJ I aim to make a smooth, ultra-pleasant look on my skin(-s) so I'll probably not go with red/green on black but rather some LCD-style look that just matches the rest of the skin..
I have however made a pretty basic , roughly sketched, skin with a flat whit background and basic shapes in different colors.. changing the beatgraph of that one should look good no matter what colors you personally would like to have :)

Unfortunately my PC is giving me pure unrestrained HELL at the moment: it crashes every 20 seconds (it seems to crash during the autostart-phase of the startup) so it's just an infernal loop of error-messages and after reinstalling the whole OS (Win2K Proffessional) it just kept on krashing :oP
..so my skins won't be ready for some time I'm afraid.

Ok guys, sorry I did not know how to change the colors myself. I will try doing that. Thanks.

If you've got Photoshop (or any other bitmap edting prog)... load up the skin, marquee the beat colour block you wanna change - and change it.
