  • Uploaded 10 months ago
  • Works with Songbird 1.0 - 1.1.1

* Reverted last style sheet changes, to get rid of some bugs in the Volume bar.

Sadly, this update will break the "Pure Player" support. You can still select it, but it's unusable. I'll have to solve this in Pure Player, not in YABS, because other themes might have such problems, too. But it will take some time. Sorry, "Pure Player"-Users. You can still use YABS Version 1.0.1.1., if the Pure Player is more important to you than the glitches in the Volume Box.
Everyone else has to wait for a "Pure Player" update to solve this

=> Edit: This was solved with the latest Pure Player Update!

Update to get the feather ready for 1.0

Know Issues:

Feedback is very welcome!

Changelog:

* Miniplayer is ready! And it has fancy resize-grabbers :o) I hope you like it...

Changelog:
-New content-frame borders
-Fixed scrolling media-controls
-Bird in faceplate is blue, now.
-Yellow Playing-Icon and rating-stars are a little bit darker

This was probably the most difficult update ever. Not only that i had to fix a resiting bug (introduced with the new volume bar), i put so much effort in getting rid of the many glitches in the frame of the content-area. I discovered a new technique to make this possible, and on the way, i completely repainted the frame to make it look much cleaner.
This new frame finally works for all kind of content: whether you are browsing, using an media-view or just your library, the frame stays intact. :-)

You won't believe what i had to do, to get this result, so, well, you might run into some new bugs. Please report these.

Detailed Changelog:

- Fixed Smart-Playlist Edit Properties-button
- Tab Drop-Down Button
- All "download" elements skinned
- New "album view" - plugin adjusted
- System-Buttons for MS Windows skinned
- Improved Playlist-Cols: Columns like "Track Number" can be resized to be thinner than in standard gonzo. Saves space.

0.6.5.1 - Fixed two bugs introduced with last update:

- No Volumebar was shown, when Player-controls displayed at the top. Thanks for reporting, deomega!

Karma-Release ;-)

Today I did a whole bunch of mini-improvements. These changes are so subtle, that you probably wont even get aware of them. But they will get right into the karma of YABS, and your subconsciousness will cheer of joy :o)

PS: Updating screenshots is kind of useless, now. I'll wait till the next release.


For those of you, who want more detailed info, here's a very rough changelog:
- Play/Pause-Button Hover-effect adjusted.
- All elements in Album-Art pane slightly moved.
- Many small buttons (like Filter-List-changer, Add-Playlist, Hide Sidebar, Sidebar-changer) are improved and less visible. They come to front on hover.
- Statusbar-Items are a little bit transparent, now. They come to front on hover.
- Shoutcast-Header adjusted.
- Album-Art-Managers "Song notifier" adjusted.
- Tooltip-Text was white on white. Fixed.
- Notification-Bar-Colors changed.
- Some improvements in LyricsMaster-Pane
- Shuffle & Repeat Button adjusted (i'm still not satisfied with these)
- Started with Clean-Up in the css-files


Version: 0.5.0.0

Changelog:
* Media controls improved & hover-effects added
* Unobtrusive window-border added

I have an idea for a different Volume-Bar, too! Please look at the Mockup (Screenshot No. 4) and post your opinion. The main idea is to center the play/pause button. This looks nice with the service-pane, but it would determine a change in volume-bar, too. The picture shows, how i would solve this.


Version: 0.4.5.0

Fixed:
* Mini-Player working again (but not skinned, yet).
* More-Gonzo Addon (Medium-Player) isn't mandatory anymore (but still working). Thx to jp22382 & deomega for reporting this bug


Version: 0.4.0.0

Download for All Platforms
  • Uploaded about 1 year ago
  • Works with Songbird 0.7pre - 0.8.0pre

Changelog:
* Changed the color of searchbar-button to match the other nav-bar buttons.
* Volume-Bars got a more visible background.
* Changed the No-Album-Art image. (The CD is now in B&W and a little bit transparent, which looks really nice in Media-Flow :-)

Summary:
After I took a look at some extension and the options-window, I decided to hold on my planning for the media-player-controls and address the visibility first.
I got many issues, where a black font was displayed on a black background. To get totally rid of this, I changed every background into a dark one, and every font into a bright one. Now they shouldn't be mixed up anymore, not even by add-ons.
The problem with add-ons is, that some developers use their own graphics and css to achieve more beauty, but with different skins, the addons don't look like they should. So I decide to add special css-code for some add-ons to make them look nicer. (Last screenshot)


Version: 0.3.5.0

  • Uploaded about 1 year ago
  • Works with Songbird 0.7pre - 0.8.0pre

Changes made:
- Juheee! At a nightly attack of inspiration, i found a solution for the album-art-pane, that was bothering me. The pane could not be made transparent to fit the pane in the background, BUT I was able to skin it, so it looks exactly like the pane behind it.
That wasn't easy, lots of images had to been put together, and every pixel counted. That's why I'm releasing with only this change: Does it work on all OS? I'm afraid that some OS or even different Songbirds might not show everything fine. So please, if you test this, compare your songbird to the screenshots and tell me, if the album-art-display is looking ugly. Then let me know your results, please.

This is the last big issue in the overall Layout, if it works, I can finally move on and work my way through your many clever suggestions :-)


Version: 0.3.0.0

Download for All Platforms
  • Uploaded about 1 year ago
  • Works with Songbird 0.7pre - 0.8.0pre

Changes made:

- Play & Pause Buttons are more white
- Library-section is more separated from Servicepane, Tabbar & Playercontrols
- I switched the Servicepane scrollbar to the left side, so dont get confused :o) It offers me more possibilities for a smooth transition between Servicepane and Library. I hope you don't bother.
- Tabs look different now
- Song-Counter in the bottom right is visible again.

Please tell me how you like it. Compare it to the last version (I left some screenshots). I'm not sure, if i shall go on in this direction (more glossy, more shades, complicated compositions), or if I should try to keep it more simple and more flat.

P.S: If you know how to hide the background of the album-art-panel, or how to get rid of the remains of some vertical splitters via css, please tell. I didn't figured that out, yet.
