Attention!
Input selection color is changed from default to beige. It loads only when Songbird starts, a feather changing doesn't enough (it's a Songbird core behavior). Unfortunately I couldn't change the selection input color of Comment and Lyrics (LyricMaster) in the Metadata Editor. I could use some help. :P

- Animated images: Not Supported! (This skin doesn't contain animated images.)
- Volume bar: Supported! (You can collapse it if you want.)
- Shuffle/Repeat box: Supported! (You can collapse it if you want.)

- Zippy (icons are positioned to center of nav-bar buttons)
Please do not rate this down, if you do not like it, then just use something else and consider others that may really appreciate this. ) ... Of course rating really does not matter so much, but would be a nice thing to see on this one as a tribute of sorts.
Fingers crossed :)
@ Hiromacu
Two things please.. 1. Is it possible to have the lyrics font the size or that is used in YABS... this way one does not have to scroll so much to read every lyrics? Even the artist name and lyrics take up so much space, but please do not change the colors. Just s size.
2. You may have to do something with the volume bar, just for better visibility. Keyword... 'MAY'
THANK YOU.
@deOmega: I'm glad you like my work. I wanted to make a military feather since my first feather (Chrome), but the orange one (Orange County) was a request from one of my friend. So this feather pushed dawn in my to do list. But now I finished it. :)
@deOmega: OK, dude! I'll take a look on your request tomorrow (afternoon) or Sunday. Now I have to go to bed. I'll get up tomorrow early morning to drive 6 hours. ;)
this is intense! nice!
Well done, support for many addons already.
@deOmega:
1.) Unfortunately I had to change the font too not only the size. Because what I used (Courier New) was too hard to read in smaller size. This is regrettable because I wanted some kind of military text style (you know like a typed text), but I agree with you. YABS style is more compact and still readable. So enjoy man! ;)
2.) I changed the volume bar, I hope you like it.
Thanks to feedback me! :P
Well done imo. Thank you very much. This text is actually easier on the eyes too, so cannot complain.
Could you take some of the colors from the 'play, fwd and back' buttons to coordinate with the volume bar? But you know, on one hand, one may argue that it is camouflage, so why should you be able to see the volume bar clearly :)... but on the other hand, one still kinda have to do a double take to find it... until one gets used to its appearance
I would not complain if you leave it as is, or enhance it, because it could go either way. Like I said, nice job.
Thank you very much.
Maybe by simply enhancing the marked part of the volume bar, possibly make the vertical bars either closer or thicker with the same brown you have in it now??
Ahhh! I switched too this feather, and my Songbird did completely disappeared! ... Into thin air! ... oh, wait, ... it's just sitting camouflaged on my nature-wallpaper ;)
Nice feather again, Hiromacu :-)
PS: I miss some bullet-holes in the no-cover art :-D
I like that. Much clearer. :) It now looks related to the Play controls.
Also, please note that when editing metadata in WITHIN the library field, the text is not visible. To reproduce this: While in library, SLOW double click on the title, artist name or such fields, and when it highlights the name to where you could edit it, try placing the cursor somewhere to edit... text disappears. (Well,it is blended with the highlight, since the highlight and the text are the same color)
@deOmega: Ups... OK I see the problem! Thanks!
Yay, bullet holes! @=( ° )< (♪♪ Oh, oh, I'm in the army - now ♪♪)
Absolutely nice!
You know Hiromacu,
To tell you the truth, this is not only nice because of the camouflage per se, but it is the richness and blend. You could do a lot of other things with this. Simply awesome. I can honestly say I am blown away and very pleased. The color blending is simply fantastic.
Oh... and the camouflage is not overblown, it is just implied. Well done Sir!! I am hooked.
Nice work! I swear there is someone who just goes around and rates every new addon down, nothing seems to get 5 stars any more.
@nickm
I agree. I am not sure what their objective is at all. No appreciation for the details and effort that people put into the work, but if it has one little flaw... one that would be fixed anyway, they rate down i guess.. and do not even revisit to adjust their rating.
Then for all you now, they are not even rating down for any particular reason... someone somewhere maybe believes that nothing should be rated 5 stars i guess. I strongly believe that one should not rate something that they are not going to try.
Anyway, let me not crowd this board anymore. I have nothing more to add here at this point, but appreciation.
I am very grateful to you guys! You know, I always try to do the best (as I as can) and good to see there are people who value my work. This is my new hobby to make something creative. Thank you guys!!! ;)
About the rating: I don't know exactly the calculation how goes, but looks like the website round dawn all the time. So if there is an add-on rated 5 star by 500 people, but if come a other one (only one) who rate it 4 star, the total rating will be go dawn to 4 and never go back to 5. It should be works as mathematical rounding as works (from 0.1 to 0.4 rounded down, from 0.5 to 0.9 rounded up). But I don't care anymore! :P
Brilliant skin, it really has a sort of Vietnam/Korea feeling. It implements the camouflage exquisitely, enough of a camouflage element to make it really feel right, but not so overblown that it looks like some sort of MySpace profile created by a 12 year old. The buttons are pretty fantastic too and I love the volume bar.
A great skin.
Thanks.
A suggestion, just in case, as I sure there are folks that may not want the camouflage look per se. If you have the time and patience, you could change the camouflage areas to one of the nice dark green you have in this feather, (like the old school army color but darker) while keeping everything else as is. I am sure that someone somewhere would be happy for it.
Just an idea .
I am keeping this one though. :)
Or maybe the dark brown.
@deOmega: Yeah, someone somewhere would be happy if I change the camouflage pattern, but someone somewhere not. And you know, the name of this feather is Camouflage, because it has camouflage pattern.
However I'm thinking about to add an option dialog window where you can choose between the styles. Just my CSS, Java script and XUL knowledge isn't enough so I had to learn more, but at the moment unfortunately I have no free time.
Thanks! :P
OH, NO NO. :).. You misunderstood me, I meant making a NEW feather using the attributes of this one. NOT changing this one.
deOmega: Ohhh... You mean to make a totally new feather! Yeah, that's easy. OK :P
Please remember to skin the Bands etc for the equalizer. :). I think they are black on Black at the moment.
@deOmega: Sorry man but I don't understand. What Bands for what equalizer? I missed something. :P
Here you go... Notice the difference.
@deOmega: Oh is it an add-on? I didn't see it because it doesn't installable. OK. I'll download it and force install to see what is the situation.
No problem. The beta release now has an EQ. You will find it here:
http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/Developer/Articles/Builds/Nightly_Builds
@deOmega: I force installed it but doesn't work: http://wiki.songbirdnest.com/@api/deki/files/933/=equ_error.png
Yeah...wait for the next SB release. :P
The force install does not make sense to me unless you do not use the beta releases. If you are speaking about that addon by Geekshadow, that is of no use if you do not have either the nightly or the new beta that was released yesterday. The new Beta comes with the equalizer and you do not really need that addon by Geekshadow, but it is just a nice addon by him, because it places the equalizer in a pane as opposed to separate.
Awesome job. Thank you. I just happened to turn on songbird and check for updates :)
@deOmega: Your welcome! I decided to live dangerously, I installed the beta 1. :)
Thought I should let you know that this works for the latest (as of today's date) version of SB. I had to change the max version information, but it installed.
If I can say so, this feather is absolutely the best thing I've seen in a very very long time. I'm a soldier. Although this isn't the exact camo we wear, I love it. I'm not partial to the new uniforms (ACUs), so I welcome this change. Anyways. Keep creating friend, and if you keep making things like this, I'll keep using them. Thanks for contributing!
@shipleythump: Yeah sorry I know, I'm late with the update for this one. I was very busy to create an other feather (Steel), and to make updates for my first feather (Chrome) and for my second one (Orange County). But now I'm started to working on Chamouflage to update it. ;)
I'm glad you like my work. Stay tuned... :)
Any word on when my FAVORITE FEATHER will be Songbird 1.7.2b1-compatible?
@cargohook: Sorry! In the last months I had not time to work on my feathers. I have much less free time than I had before. But I'll try to catch up the drift again. ;)
