Description Important Notes //

I want to thank all of the judges of the 2008 Winamp Freestyle Skinning contest for taking the time to look through all of the submissions and for choosing KrazyPlayer as the 1st place winner. Be sure to check out the other winners here: [link]

I also want to say thanks separately for the Daily Deviation - It is a huge honor to be famous for a day I really hope everyone gets a chance to use the player and enjoy it in action.

Info //

Current version of KrazyPlayer: 1.00 [RC1]

A new version with new features and fixes will be in development shortly. So stay tuned.

KrazyPlayer has been in development for more than 9 months. Our baby is now ready for life! [Pun intended]

Designed by Tim Silva [krazytim] | URL: [link]

Developed by Skin Consortium | URL: [link]

Developers:
- SLoB
- The Elusive Melon
- martin.deimos
- Quadhelix
- WinstonGFX
- pjn123

define: "Teamwork" - (1 result) - "The Skin Consortium + KrazyTim."

Additional Graphical Assistance:
- xdreamer (Merz Manuel) | URL: [link]

WALLPAPER Version: [link] - (1280x1024)

I hope you enjoy this massive effort we put down, this player is extremely functional and usable, and every little detail was payed attention to closely. There are tons of features included in this skin, and it is beyond fully loaded. Lots of people put hours of work into making this happen, so hopefully our efforts can be respected within the graphical and developmental communities. The skin started out a pure eye candy, but now it is eye candy and a working theme, the best of both worlds.

Promo Picture Information //

The song playing is "Vanishing" by "A Perfect Circle" from the album "Thirteenth Step" - They are one of the greatest bands of all time, with a total cult-like fan base If you are bored and want to hear some awesome music, check out some of their music I chose A Perfect Circle for a very personal reason, and I found it interesting how the LCD for KrazyPlayer is not actually a perfect circle, it is skewed. Maybe its worth thinking about...

The visualization chosen is called "Eo. S. - starburst 01" and it is from the "MilkDrop 2.0d" visualizations pack. It is included in all new versions of Winamp, so you probably already have it. Open Winamp's preferences, go down toe "Plug-ins", and select "Visualization". Next, click on "MilkDrop 2.0d" and press "Start". Now, open up the visualizations box, press "L" on your keyboard, and scroll down to "Eo. S. - starburst 01". They are listed alphabetically, so just press "F", and then press up on your keyboard once to select ""Eo. S. - starburst 01". Now, just press Enter and then press Esc. ENJOY!

Design //
This is my most advanced project to date. I made so many different versions of this player, that I cannot even remember making most of them. It started out as a personal growth experiment with advanced layering and lighting techniques, but after a few hours, I felt like I was onto something.

Development //
People started to suggest that I have it skinned for use, and I said "Ok, I'll look into it" or something along those lines... but I actually did. And several weeks later, it was starting to develop. There was a major period of time when the player wasn't be made, but several events inspired it to get started again. I want to properly thank the developers for here for making something incredible out of my idea. It is even better than I imagined it, and I have The Skin Consortium to thank for that. So, here is a huge block of links to their website:

Well I think it is definatly an amazing skin. And putting in that color customizer was a smart move on your part. Makes the customization endless

I agree It was the idea of the developer SLoB > he really wanted to implement it into the skin, so he gets full credit for the awesomeness.

Hopefully the next updated version will have more controls for the RGB changer.

Hmm ok, it looks amazing..... but the buttons for the menus..... cmon man..... you can't crank out an amazing design like this and then just make the buttons really simple like that. Have you seen the equalizer? You gotta get that complicated, intricate style into every little piece, I love the main window, and the media library, its the other menus that bother me... Just some friendly advice. This is V1 right? Will there be a V2?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

krazytim In reply to Sab0r [2008-03-09 22:11:23 +0000 UTC]

Yes, there will be a v2

Do you mean the dark grey buttons with the blue text? For those I wanted it to be dark and simple. The buttons have to resize for different text sizes, so I didn't think it would be worth it. But I'll keep that in mind for the next version.

Hope people like the RGB element of the skin

Was cool to co-develop on this project, team work makes the dream work
I think we helped to realise the skins potential in the end and there are no shortage of ideas for an updated version once we have gathered information, so krazyPlayer should just get better and better

krazytim In reply to SLoB [2008-03-09 21:46:03 +0000 UTC]

Ya, same here. Its the coolest part (besides the vis )

I will start to write up a list a few days after the competition is over.

Very nice skin, now you and ofcourse we can finally see the final product where you waited for. I see there came alot of other graphics with it but those really fit the player it self.

I'm not really a fan of skins with boxes arround the player itself, so i wont use it but still it's very cewl.

The future i love very much is the rythm in the 2 blue sidebars, haven't seen that before

Ya, it has tons of those little details, I wanted it to be filled with small stuff.

I may design a more boxy look to in the future. Lots of people don't like ones with curvy shapes, I am like that too most of the time

It doesn't have a shade more or anything. We will be releasing an updated version in the future, and I might add that to the "to-do" list

lethalwire In reply to krazytim [2008-03-09 02:31:28 +0000 UTC]

Most of the skins out there have a slime mode, and 2 other modes.

The skin is great though. I can't believe it's so good.

krazytim In reply to lethalwire [2008-03-09 11:22:15 +0000 UTC]

Ya, most that I have seen only have 1 or 2 modes, but I felt like the one was good for now. In the future version, I might make a small design, maybe a little box w/ controls or something.

Thanks again
