DigitalCD skins

Colour | DarkWorld | Forester

These skins have been designed by Martin Bazley for use with DigitalCD, a popular desktop music player for RISC OS computers. Skins provide an alternative look and feel for the program's control panels.

Each skin is distributed as a directory of files within a Zip archive. You can also download a package of all the skins shown here (36 KB Zip archive). On RISC OS computers Zip archives may be opened using SparkPlug, SparkFS (commercial) or Infozip.

Over to Martin...

Colour

My first attempt at a truly new skin, being virtually indistinguishable from the skin I used for the base ('Hedgehog Love'). Absolutely psychedelic, is it not?

The song used for the preview is Boyzone's 'No Matter What'. No particular reason, I just thought it looked good.

There is a reason the font on the preview looks so crap - if you have an old version of the Font Manager, it does weird things with the blending and the text becomes virtually unreadable. Unfortunately WinEd doesn't seem to agree with me changing the text colour (why?), or I would have done something about it.

DarkWorld

My second skin, based on 'Ferrari'. Spooky, eh? The skull icon is a touched-up version of that from 'Evil'.

Goldfrapp's 'Ooh La La' is on the preview. This is a wonderful song, and everyone should buy it. Otherwise, no reason.

Forester

An improved (I think) and more colourful (definitely) version of the Default skin for DigitalCD. Actually, there's a reason for the strange colour scheme - the Default skin only has 16 colours to its name, and I was forced to stick with that.

Contains my first experiment with templates - before now, I've just left them alone. I extended the position bar across the entire width of the skin, and I think it looks a lot better.

The tune on the preview is the Kaiser Chiefs' 'Everyday I Love You Less and Less'. Highly recommended. Still no reason for choosing it though, except maybe to show off the length of the title field.
