MediaStream mod

Hitcher · 2008-08-15, 20:54

Being a big lover of fanart I've knocked up a mod for MediaStream to get the most out of it (and learnt it bit about skinning at the same time).

What do you guys think? Do you mind mods?

looks good hitcher. I would remove the faded background now that you have lowered the wraplist. That would give the fanart more "pop."

I prefer the info more myself

As for mods, I have no problem with them as such. I would have though we'd have gone more than a week before we saw the first of them though (especially since we're still actively working on the skin) but then we can take it as a compliment that people are excited about using the skin and want to adapt it further.

I tried removing the MovieViewBG.png but it didn't look right as it needs some sort of texture behind the movie title and the top area. Ideally I'd edit the MovieViewBG.png to lessen the shading but that's where it goes over my head - all I've really done here is remove all the info and reposition the title/overlay, not exactly skilled.

skunkm0nkee, definitely take it as a compliment. I especially like the Album library view - it's perfect.

I like the idea, and we always knew that mods would come. I guess if I'm honest I agree with Skunk that I would have expected Mods later on..but hey, this was always a skin for the community.

When the razorfish team created the skin, it was done from the outset knowing that it would be modded, etc...and that;s cool because it proves that the community has taken something and wants to make it even better...Razorfish would never admit that we have ALL the answers...thats what YOU guys are for!

Go mod, but PLEASE respect the fact that the skin has not yet finished evolving.

looks sick

A bit more messing around today and I'm as happy as I can get with it.

It would be great if Team Razorfish added something simliar - I'm sure they'd make it much better looking than I ever could.

I can post the edited ViewsVideo.xml if anyone's interested in it as long as Team Razorfish don't mind of course.
