I wish this could be supported on wincustomize

Xion Audio Player

from WinCustomize Forums

I've been using xion audio player for awhile now, ( http://xion.r2.com.au/ )and I really wish wincustomize would make a section for it. The cool thing about it is that it is amazingly easy to skin since it takes raw .psd files, and creates the skin. All you have to do is name the layer with the play button "play", etc. Here's a skin i recently made for it:

I like 'Thump' better, especially as FLA is played there.

Would be a skinners dream...reading photoshop layers?Why didnt I think of that?

Your skin was one of the better ones I saw there.
Unless I'm behind the times...WMP cant use the translucency elements I see here.  I gotta try this.

Carl...what do you mean 'thump'?Is that a skinnable media player?

I don't really use skinned mediaplayers cause I keep it minimized all the time anyway.

But I love the skinning engine in this. Skins which are PSD files. Great. I think it's worthy of a WC section.

Yeah I love that program...

PS- if anybody wants to play around with Xion a little bit, I recommend going into the forums and grabbing the latest beta since they have more features.

FLA is a band = Front Line Assembly.

It all becomes clear now Carl.  

I like how this player installs new skins,just drop the zip with the Ps file onto the player and it switches.

Looks like I can finally do my analog vu meters with this.  
It'll be huge,it'll suck cpu cycles...clog the screen!I dont care...they will finally work.

haha Actually xion usually doesn't use above 3% of your CPU unless you have some crazy massive skin!

I'm loving it so far.

So what's the actual criteria for adding a new section in wincustomize.com? Xion would be a nice add since the whole thing was literally made to be skinned!

The app needs to be popular, alive, and thus prominent, really.

I think the skinning 'method' makes it a contender....[and the 'au' in the addy doesn't hurt....wink]...

You mean like your Overdrive skin? That uses over 40% cpu on my system   Anyway I thought I'd add my (djinn2) support. Put Xion on Wincustomize I say!

I agree with the 'au' part I'd love to see a section here for Xion. I'd even have something to contribute to the section

Edit: Pfffttt... I broke the quote...

Hey now... the skin is called overdrive... I mean if it didn't eat your CPU for lunch, I'd feel dissapointed. haha

So who has the power to add sections 'round here?
