Alternative OSDs for Blue Two (1 Viewer)

[Inker]

Hey there,

Thought I'd try some GFX Design for a change, and since the Video OSD is the part in MP I personally see most often (hey, afterall I use it to watch stuff and not hop around in the menues right?! ;-)), I thought let's see what I can come up with.

I tried to stay with the Overall Theme of BlueTwo. Also I never really used any of the buttons, except maybe the Play/Pause one, so I removed them. The Text Video very lightly shimmers through the video in the background, so those a small area around the play/pause button. I kinda like that effect.

Anyways, heres the result:

You can download it here.

0)Back the old files up in case you don't like it.
1) Place the xml into the BlueTwo Folder, and
2) the osd_bg into the BlueTwo/Media folder.

3) Tell me what you think

Thnx

Made some more changes today. I added the Video's Title, so that you can see what your actually playing, and I also added the current Time (not playing time). Last, I moved the current play Time to a what I think more appropriate location.

It looks nice! I try it tonight! Otherwise I am using bluetwo mod gold but for this I make an exeption!

 

[Inker]

Hey,

Thnx for your comment. I colored it Gold for you Personally gold is too.....well, bright for me. But I think this should match the gold version.

right click, save as and rename it to osd_bg.png and then put it into the media folder.

Of course you will still need the other zip for the xml and the resized progress images.

any other comments?

Yeah, that looks nice and fits my needs too. Maybe you can also make a version for the dark mod of the BlueTwo?

 

[Inker]

Hmm, I'm having some trouble with that color, never sure when its too dark or not dark enough.

anyways, does this do? Right click save, then rename to osd_bg.png and copy into the media folder (same as above).

Thanks for your comment.

Anything you think should be moved around or something?
