yer skinning modern skins and classic skins is hella different, both take different talents gfx wise. as stillwater has said. i think it's very possible for a classic skinner to try a modern skin and not know what to do/how to use the new ability so it can come out crap. and same vice-versa
overall i think d-r deserves to win, gfx wise and also CODE wise. i can see most people will merly rate a skin cause it looks good, and forget that more effort is put into coding good skins. (i would say resurgence (esp 1.2) but im not a prik :p)
congrats to all the winners! vector cell certainly was best pseudo os in my eyes, and the winamp skins, im not gonna complain :D
EMP2 is a good skin no doubt, but as someone else said, its a bit of a slap in the face to allow it to win opposite catagories. and as for power user, i REALLY want to know how impulse has more/better power user features, iv been looking at it and looking at it.... im not continuing the shitfight, as said we are over it, i just want some clear reasons to sort things out. :)
heh yer i pulled resurgence out of this catagory cause i thought it would do better as a power user skin, lol.......
davebo, yea i admit there are lots of icons to make in and icon package and the process is also long and somewhat tiring. but in my experience, the skins i have made for winamp3/5 have all been under a week for gfx and a number of months for the coding alone, coding which most outside people take for granted. Resurgence alone took about 2 months for myself and hammerhead to code, and we were busting our guts working as hard and fast as possible. ignorance or experience?
ok skin back in the contest now pls.......... never asked for it to be removed in the first place only a figure of speech.....
well said a-t-o-m-i-c. well friggin said :)
*agrees with vrank* face up biatch! :p j/k
Frogboy, i was talking about any further GUIO's, not any further events on THIS GUIO. i also said i 'feel like', that wasnt a request but a figure of speech. iv already gone to the effort of creating and entering the skin and it would be stupid to pull out now. hammerhead helped me create the skin as it is a huge task for simply one person to make a skin and it would also be wrong of me to pull the skin out without talking to him about it. you have misunderstood me and taking my word
i shouldv submitted a skin which looks like this: ::songtitle:: {previous} {stop} {play} {pause} {next} {pl} {ml} {eq} {crossfade} {shuffle} {repeat} b&w, boring, and utter crap. sure to win most useable!
Please, in future GUIO's (if your ever manage to set another one up), i think i speak for the experienced skinners when i say that we no longer want to be included in your petty games. Designing and coding a winamp5 skin is a long drawn out process, to make a good skin requires MUCH more knowledge and effort than to create a bloody icon package, hence why we had half the entries of the other catagories. D-Reliction and Resurgence rocked, end of story, and to be beaten by half assed noobie
not only i have decided against ever entering another GUIO, but i feel inclined to pull my skin out of the competition as a sign of protest, not simply because of my own ass raping but also for the ass raping of skins such as D-Reliction. EMP 2 won both catagories, hahaha what a joke! (tis a good skin, but not worthy of a double win thats for sure) was astounded that some skins would even bother entering such a 'high-standard' competition, for some of those skins to go on and win is, well
yes classic skins have LOTS of 'power user' features.... and ppl have a look at who is entered b4 posting crap ;) imo itl be a tossup between Cardium II and Resurgence for 1st. many of the other skins are just too buggy/cpu harsh.
nice work dude, didnt think the idea of movies would pull off but i think it will really come into play in the winamp skins where there is MUCH more to see than a still picture. Hope my skin gets a place so i can have a movie review! haha
mine was processed in a matter of hours, posted it at night and when i woke up it was published...
20CECIL: i didnt say it didnt have any usable features, what i meant was like, its not as practicle as some other skins because of its unique shape. But this is for most creative skin so this is definatly its place. ;)
1. Resurgence - Of course i rekon its the best, i made it how i think a skin should be :D 2. D-Reliction - Nice, thought out, and well coded. But things like the vis just being pointed to a frame from the volume level let many skins down. 3. Enkera - Sweet graphics, different look on skins, feels reletavly 'complete'. But not as useable as others.
