Skins

There are a lot of comments related design, look and feel, window size and so on. Yes, this is important. Via proper design one can express his mood and his view on the reality. :)

The problem is that I’m not a designer – not even near to it. :)

So, designers! I’m inviting you!

In the latest version you can find a folder “Skins” inside the application folder.

A skin is just an xml file called “skin.rsn” inside skin folder and images around it. Very simple. Structure of XML is also very simple, you can play with it. One note is – the color code is like this “A,R,G,B”, where A is alpha (means transparency), R,G,B is a color.

And you can press F5 when you change the XML, so it will apply the changed skin. A skin can be choosen in options on page “Advanced”.

You can edit this XML file with this free tool: Free Microsoft XML Editor.

I know few people will like to create profesionally looking skins just for free. So, if you want to create very nice looking skins and want to sell it here please let me know I will think how we can do that.

Let’s start to create nice and beautiful skins! ;)

  7. Hi!

    Here are the informations about the skin:

    1. Skin Name – Orange Wave
    2. Description – a discription for your skin, preferably 2-5 sentences. – This is a simple skin with orange texts and buttons over a tech glossy background. It’s like a home sound system, on wich we have light indicators and visible buttons.

    5. URL where to download the skin file (should be ZIP archived file only) – http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=952E77191 (the box.net site is not free, so I uploaded to fileshost.com)

    I don’t know if you host these files on your server or people download it from third party sites.

  10. Hi!
    It’s me again.
    I like create new designs, so I created a few more skins for the Radio Sure. I liked it. What do you think?
    Here are the info about them:

    Description: This skin was inspired on a Bang and Olufsen Clock and has a minimalist design. Its functions can be accessed in a panel similar to a lcd monochrome touch screen display.

    Round Sound Blue and Pink (maybe it can be download together)

    Description (both Round Sound Skins): Its retro/modern style allow us to travel into its space, in the mood of the song, while we watch the spectrum following the beats. To fit the list inside the interface, I had to make it bigger, so I don’t know if it looks nice in low resolution displays.

    В начале нужно загрузить *(dark), (red) or (grey) rsn.zip. Дополнительные фоны находятся в Win XP.zip и Win 7.zip из этих папок можно устанавливать ТОЛЬКО после того как вы установили полный скин (dark), (red) or (grey) т.к. в этих папках находится только bg1 и bg2. Все установки происходят простым перетаскиванием в окно RadioSure (смотри видео инструкцию).

    In the beginning it is necessary to load * (dark), (red) or (gray) rsn.zip. Additional backgrounds are in Win XP.zip and Win 7.zip from these folders it is possible to establish ONLY after you have established full skin (dark), (red) or (gray) since in these folders is only bg1 and bg2. All installations occur simple dragging in window RadioSure (look video instruction).

  14. Hi,

    Well, there are many people who like making skins, so what do you think about opening a webpage, inside this site, listing all the skins and respective authors, since you don’t host the files here?

    This is just a suggestion. Thanks!

  16. Very nice skin! :)

    One issue – I cannot click on the spectrum to mute it. It looks like some element overlaps with the spectrum. Check it please.

    Also the list of stations can be transparent – you can play with it. :)
