WA2QCD again

[brian]

If t_journeyman is around, I wonder if he would very kindly let us know what's happening with version 3 of WA2QCD, please? According to the website it's coming soon, but it has been saying that for months. Version 2 isn't bad, but it has some significant flaws which sometimes result in a converted skin being unusable. Many thanks.

Real life has been encroaching on my personal coding time. That and the impending (perhaps imminent?) new QCD version have contributed to the delay. I am hoping to hold off release until the next QCD version due to Paul's hints that there are some skinning changes.

That's most helpful, thanks very much.

Aha - Now we know who to lean on to get a new version out! Also, once the new version is out I won't have to check the forums every couple of hours in hopes that there's a new dev build.

[t_journeyman]

Xy,

You are talking about dev builds of QCD, not the converter, right?

[Xymantix]

Yup, I was enjoying the fact that others were playing the waiting game too. Regardless of whether it's waiting for the new QCD so that you can finish a skin, or finish a program.

so you're finishing a skin? :D

Kind of, but I think I'm using the next release as more of an excuse than anything else! I've been coming up empty handed lately creatively, so I was hoping for some inspiration in the form of new skinning capabilities.

Also, (back on track), I'm interested in seeing what t_journeyman has in store for the new version of WA2QCD...

[Young Twig]

Excuses are awesome. I need to come up with some. That skin that some of you may know about... it's still being mapped.

[Young Twig]

Boy. QCD now has the power to have some awesome Winamp2QCD conversions. Resizeable playlists and the new text info (bitrate/samplerate)... Oooh.

[t_journeyman]

Already trying to decipher the resize thing. Thanks to lich providing a skin with resize that I can take apart, I should be able to figure this out. After all, Winamp already built it into their skins.

Hmm... In all realiity, I don't know how possible it is to make a wianmp skin be horizontally resizeable.

If you don't understand how the resizing works, ask. I made GVB resizeable, so, I have a basic knowlege and so do Lich and Paul and Matt.

For those (like me) who find the new Winamp 5 Modern skin pleasing, and are frustrated that AOL has denied permission to port it, someone has just produced a Winamp 2 version of it. It isn't perfectly executed, but it's pretty decent, and in my view comes out pretty well when converted to a QCD skin using WA2QCD v.2. The only slight drawback is that it comes out with the name `Winamp' still on the top bar, but that can easily be edited out afterwards in a graphics program if it gives offence. I was going to post the URL for downloading the Winamp 2 skin here, but the forum software evidently can't cope with it, so if you're interested just go to the Winamp 2 skins pages and browse the `most recent' section.

That's strange, since I downloaded it only a short while ago. I'm attaching the skin to this post as a zip file; you'll need to rename it as a wsz file.
