Description UPDATED: ADDED MUSIC PROGRESSBAR
For updaters, the weather location and music player will be reset to default, be sure to change them

Emphasis on Simplicity

Looks great with most minimalistic wallpapers

INSTRUCTIONS
To set weather location, right click on skin > edit skin
Then in the file, find "Location=USNY0996" under [Variables] and replace "USNY0996" with your weather code, then save file, refresh skin

To set music player, find "PlayerName=Winamp" under [Variables] in the file and replace "Winamp" with supported NowPlaying.dll player name, see [link] for list
Save file, refresh skin

Features:
-Music Player (Hover to expand)
-Analog Clock + AM/PM
-Weather (Hover to expand)

(I've decided against adding a battery meter as it ruins the aesthetics. I've also decided not to add color customization as some elements will remain black and white since they are .pngs, which will make the skin look rather unappealing. If either is desired, I can try to work something out )

Changelog:
Version 1.2.0: (5/17/12) Added Music Progressbar (appears circularly around the play/pause button)

Version 1.0.0: (5/7/12) Initial Release

Wallpaper: [link]

Music/Weather Expanded View: [link]

Enjoy!!!

how do i play music through this?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SolarPhoton In reply to naruto76767 [2013-05-29 23:21:47 +0000 UTC]

This theme simply plays/pauses, and forward/backward tracks. So a music player, such as iTunes, has to be open first, and then the theme simply acts as a shortcut to the controls.

Instructions for setting the theme to recognize the music player is in the description.

I hope this helps! Enjoy!

DarkWolf80s In reply to Hatsodoom [2013-05-27 21:55:26 +0000 UTC]

I was just about to say the same thing but if you noticed, the Steam logo has 3 circular loop chain but his has 4, including the embezzlement of the circle itself is in a different size. The work is different than the Steam logo but we can all mistaken it because our eyes are used to that shape. So it will automatically click in our heads Steam and not that.

This happens in real life like hardware as well. Perfect example is Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPhone. Design looks similar and it actually confused people which was which.

Sorry for the late reply!
You have to right click on the skin then click "edit skin". A txt file will pop up. Find the line "PlayerName=Winamp" and replace the word "Winamp" with the player code, which can be found here: [link]
After that, save the txt document then right click on the skin, then press "refresh skin"
That should do it
