QTips skin

by **QTips** on Sun Mar 28, 2004 6:40 am

Finaly I have managed to get skins for my musicvideos and tv recordings thanks to Stevens new way to start programs binds to categorys.
This is a simple layout but very handy

examples: http://qtips.mine.nu/xlobby/
download skin: http://qtips.mine.nu/xlobby/qtips_1.zip (updated from time to time)
To get this working,all you have to do is press F2 and change path to your own folders with musicvideos and tvrecordings.In ZoomPlayer press "n" and select ultraminimalskin.
This is a 16:9 skin but I will make it 4:3 later for use on my TV.

very interesting idea....are those videos actually playing within xlobby in that window????

Oh yeah

cause with this new way to feed Zoom Player with comandline options everything is possibel.And then control ZP with sendmessagescomands within XLobby after that it almost feels like ZP is integrated with XLobby.
The next step would be a option to sort these files with date,filesize and even a deletebutton for tvrecords

what software are you using for "Filten The Movie"?

Qtips,

I agree, now the "bug" ( xlobby stealing focus when xlobby was launched )is fixed you can make ZP look very integrated. Fiinished yseterady exactly what you have for TV recordings. Works great and so far completely reliable which is rare in HTPC software

For 3D Graphics I used 3D Studio Max and for videoediting I used Adobe Aftereffects.
I made a divx of the movie too

I told you that would be nice if they can play first in a little screen

yah you always tell me things....hehehe...and no I havent added the parellel port commands yet

that zoomplayer overlay is a great idea though....I think alot of people will use it.

Very nice work...I see I'm going to have to really bring my A-game to compete with all these new skins.

the zoomplayer overlay is great...I finished my movie trailer function last week. Now when I am looking at a movie from the movie viewer page I can click my trailer button and watch the trailer for that movie. Now if I could just figure out how to keep ZP from popping my taskbar up.

It's going to be tough to choose between all of these great skins that you guys are coming up with.
