----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESIGN:

This is a basic multi-device version, with iPod Video, Nano and Shuffle devices (use the "hidden" button at the top-left to change device). In addition to the deviantART styled backgrounds, there are classic black and white (including a black Shuffle), along with my impression of U2 style iPods in all three versions.

Credit (again!) to Juan Hernandez (juanchis) for his iPod Media Player skins. They inspired me to try skinning myself and I needed an excuse to learn a bit of XML and JScript! Thanks Juan :-)

See also my iPod Clear skin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOOLS:

I use Xara Xtreme (www.xara.com), to build up the graphics for the skins, which are defined as vector images with named colours so that I can create different colourways quickly.

I use TextPad (www.textpad.com) for creating the XML and JScript files.

Enjoy!

No worries :) Your avatar makes perfect sense ;)

I admit that keeping the icons hidden is a bit "mystery meat", but it keeps the skin clean.

Many thanks for your comments.

Wow, they look great, I was thinking of something like that interchangeble thing with my next iPod skin, iPod Touchscreen. I start working on it late last month and i had some verry neat ideas for it. I hope to have it ready soon, I'll send it to you as soon as I'm done.

this is an awesome skin! thankyou! i do regret however, that i have the same trouble that ~purplelicious did... how do you change the color? :confused:

Hi ShellCandy,

To the right of the screen (or the right of the click ring on the Shuffle), you'll find a couple of "hidden" arrows (up and down). Just click on those to change the colour of the current device. It keeps an independent track of the last used colourway on each device.

Thanks for your comments :)
