simplyBlack rsjtdrjgfuzkfg

A dark songbird including Normal-, Mini- and Netbook-Mode!


simplyBlack



Description

A dark version of the old gonzo-feather with some changes in the mini-player, and the implementation of the new purpleRain features, like the new panes.
It registers five Layouts:

  1. simplyBlack, the normal "main" interface.
  2. simplyBlack (native), a more native variation of simplyBlack.
  3. miniBlack, a mini-player.
  4. simplyNetbook, a small-screen-optimized version of simplyBlack.
  5. simplyNetbook (native), a more native variation of simplyNetbook.

Features:

Functional changes in simplyNetbook:

  • The Navigation bar got an button to show/hide the left sidebar.
  • The statusbar was moved into the left sidebar.
  • The seek bar was integrated into the display of current track information, similar to the PurpleRain MiniPlayer
  • There is no possibility to rate directly the currently playing track, you can rate in the playlist/library only.

If the Add-On doesn't work at your machine, please post here!
Please post a comment and/or rate, don't be afraid posting bugs and ideas!

Hi Pure Player - Skinners ;)

I just want to leave you guys a note about Pure Player:
After the last update, there are some small changes in the Pure Player Skins necessary. Please take a look at this Wiki entry, where I documented the changes I made to my skins. You might not need to repeat all these changes, but some of them for sure.

Thanks!

Hi
I can't wait installing all your extensions... on Songbird 1.2! Would you mind make them compliant with it?
Thanks a lot

@klint:
Cause I don't use the beta I can't test it. I can only repeat myself as posted at FolderSync:

Cause I don't use 1.2b1 I can't test it.
If you want to try it:
Download the xpi (for example here v1.2.0.0) and change in it with an archive program (for example 7zip) the file install.rdf:

Find the following:

    <em:targetapplication>
      <description>
        <em:id>songbird@songbirdnest.com</em:id>
        <em:minversion>1.1.1</em:minversion>
        <em:maxversion>1.2.0a</em:maxversion>
      </description>
    </em:targetapplication>

and change it to (bold=changes)

    <em:targetapplication>
      <description>
        <em:id>songbird@songbirdnest.com</em:id>
        <em:minversion>1.1.1</em:minversion>
        <em:maxversion>1.2</em:maxversion>
      </description>
    </em:targetapplication>

So the Add-On will be accepted from Songbirds up to Version 1.2.
Now you install the xpi and hope that it works.
Good luck! (Hope you don't need it) ;)

Please check out the page on the wiki for details.

The buttons (back, home, etc.) on 1.7.3 are washed out and hard to see. Please fix! Otherwise, I absolutely love this feather!

There's actually no version, which is installable for songbird 1.8.0b3! (1.8 is better than 1.8.0b3...)

1.8.0a should be before 1.8.0b3, isn't it?

This is the only feather (right now) working with 1.8.0 that "changes size" with the "layout.css.dpi" setting in about:config. Did you do something special that the other feathers aren't doing?

@Sunraycer:
I don't know every other feather, and I haven't looked at the most other feathers's internals... so it is difficult for me to say: Others doesn't do this.

... the only thing I don't think that much other feathers do is a so-called custom layout. So simplyBlack comes with a complete skin, and many others just re-design Purple Rain; other "full" feathers I know are Gonzo 2.0 and Purple Rain itself. Both scale with layout.css.dpi for me (Win7x64).

I have no other feathers without custom layout, so maybe those don't work?!

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I had tested Gonzo 2.0, but you are correct, that one also scales. Purple Rain doesn't though (for me), so if the others are all built off of it, that makes sense. I'll look more into the custom layout. Thanks.
