To Fruit (and everyone interested):
Hi !
I have an updated version of this skin !

I'm not familiar at all making skins but i tried to make
some changes to existing skins, just for practice.
The Pionner cdj700 is a very complete skin but i found it
somehow confusing and overloaded,
so i changed some fonts-colors, by editing both the xml and the bmp file.
I believe that some of these changes will be usefull for the
"official" version of the skin.
I wanted to make a more "user friendly" version.
Here is a preview only of the skin.
Take a look.
http://www.imageuploader.net/images/979862cdj-700-edit.jpg
Some of the changes:
-Easy to see- the most usefull informations/controls:
loop (orange)/ fx (red), play (transparent green)
butons.
-colored (green/red) and bigger timers (the most usefull of them) gray and small the not so usefull.
-Not Easy to see- the not so "usefull" information to avoid
confusing... after 2 beers :
gray some timers and buttons (was all white before)
And a change not visible, i changed the pannel id's of the
3 basic pannels from 5,6,7 to 41,42,43 to make it compatible
with the default skin (same keyboard shortcuts if there is any)
I tried it with 2.02 demo and is compatible.

Fruit let me know where to send you the skin, and if you use
corel draw11 i can send you the .cdr file with all the components i' ve added.

Any comments are welcome.

To Clax,
Sorry for the delay, i was just waiting for Fruit agreement
before sending, anyway...
check your e-mail.
I have worked even more on the graphics/colors
it is almost perfect now, the colors are "smooth" and as you
will see the decks are not black anymore...

Very nice apopsis.
I tested the 2 xml files and I haven't noticed any difference.

Thanks to share your job.

I'm glad you liked it.
Better use the arial version -xml-, althought there must be no problem, arial is a unicode font.
Have you tried the skin in low light or in club environment ?
That was my goal to make it more usefull, less confusing,
and not nice looking... (but i think it is too)

I have in mind some other small changes before posting
the final version to the site (if i'm allowed)
Still waiting for some agreement from the creators of this skin.

Regards

Tested in darkness apopsis and I like it very much. Good work. I think that FRUiT would apreciate this adapation.

hi apopsis,
I wouldn't mind taking a look at this skin too, as I use the original one, it could be a refreshing change..

Any chance of you mailing it to me?,

Thanks Clax, I appreciate that :).

Wow this skins been made for use inside a tunnel.., any train dj's here?, hehe.

It reminds me of that episode of "only fools and horses", where they paint their mothers grave stone in luminus paint, and it's brighter than anything you've seen.

It's a nice modification to the skin ;).

Well... what' s going on here... !
I see a demand for my version of cdj-700 skin,
and i'm glad for this..
Clax you are good at promotion/sales i think !
Maybe you have to think about it ...
Bagpuss your e-mail is not in your profile (i tried to send you)
---------------------
Sorry for the delay, i was out of town and away from
internet connection (and this forum) next week, and i will be again for this weekend.

The good news are that in the meantime i have finished the skin, the version you all have is a "beta"...

Some changes are:
I re-order the timers so they are now displayed
in a more logical way, also there is now a comment field
in the place of real time bpm (was designed for atomixmp3,
but not used by vdj), even better colors, smoother colors
of the playlist buttons, etc..
The are now 3 black versions (dark-normal-bright) and also
a green and a blue version.
(so you can ... match the colors/brightness of the screen with the lights and colors of the club you're working ....!)

Well i'll see if i can post the "skin-pack" to this site next week,
and if i have the time i will write a "what's new" text, starting
a new post in the skins forum.

Best regards to all.

Good job apopsis.
The design is very well as well in the darkness.
I haven't seen the others colors yet.
