New Skin: Chameleon

[Fatman_do]

I have uploaded all the MCE2 style buttons as a skinpack.
I will use this method to try to keep the Chameleon upload/download smaller.

These buttons are based on the BlueMCE2 skin which is a MedaiPortal port maintained by Dottore.

This was a double post, sorry.

Did you see the ImageEditor program that was in the AdVisor tutorial ZIP.
That program is perfect to change colors, contrist, brightness, hue, saturation and all other color things on an image.
I use that program a lot....and UltimatePaint a really good freeware/shareware program, similar to Photoshop. (Photoshop take to long just to start for small edititing)

Paint Shop Pro v. 7
I am playing with the 30 demo of v X.

Have also messed around with Gimp (free).

I am no artist though, and am limited in ability.

Renamed some images (Again! I messed it up last time). Please delete previous versions before installing this one (not required but you will have 2x number of buttons than used).

I also tweaked a few more basic skins, and have dropped in X-series and My Series (beta) plugins to start working on those. These are developer original blue skins at the moment.

I am in the process of creating new task images right now so that will kill any new skinning this week.

The .zip file downloaded from wiki now contains Chameleon.exe, a Nullsoft installer volume that gives the user path options if gbpvr is not installed in the "C:\Program Files\...". directory. Otherwise default installation is in "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\".

Here is a new button style, download [ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND] and extract to
C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Chameleon\Appearance\ButtonSets\

This is an example using a minimalistic approach using a black background from COLORS using appearance manager.

New task images are still under development but can be found here.

Minor updates again on wiki. Sorry my progress is slow but I cannot give this as much time as I would like.

I have created a buttonset download on the SkinPacks wiki for the LED buttons. I also darkened up some of the MCE2 style buttons.

Fixed a problem in last version.
Removed version number from screensaver logo and altered it some. I know it kind of looks like a Chameleon "humping" the GB-PVR logo. If you think so also, it just means you think like me, which is a bad sign really.
(As in last version, the skin version can be found in the System plugin.)
Also ignore the fact the version is v.06.04.16 instead of v.06.04.15 in this screen. It really doesn't matter since I only update once a week. I thought I would do this tomorrow (Check local dates in your area ).

Also started on a "Laser" style buttons and screen effects. Sorry no sharks with frickin' laser beams on heads though. It is a "work in progress".

And since I am a total tool , I just discovered winmerge and am now able to run through and make this skin more BaseSkin compatible.

[Fatman_do]

Added more plugins. Getting closer to the end. I only have the music plugins and the My series to do.

I also finished up the "Laser" skineffects and buttons somewhat. I kind of feel like there should be more to it, but I suck and I am not really pleased with it. I may improve on it. I may kill it off.

I am also thinking of Lego style buttons, backgrounds and what not. I will need to see if I can find some tutorials on creating those images though.
