Hope you don't mind me 'dipping in' here but it sounds exciting and looking forward to the firxt beta

All the main bits and bobs are there. I think we just might need to tie it down, make sure those bits and bobs work.

Lots of ideas here. I've tried to update the Tasks page on the wiki to match.

I was also wondering if we need the MediaFolderIcons and NoCoverArt folders in the resource folder?).

What do you mean by this?

We'll need to create CS_Blue and CS_Blue - Dark theme layouts, I tried to load the graphical elements and save the themes but it didn't work out for me.

Will have a go at this myself.

I think the key lies in reviewing the SkinPluginConfig.xml file. Then we can release a beta and then add any polish

Agreed

I see you're on Vista - us 3 are on Window XP, how would you like to be the "Official" Vista tester?

[McBainUK]

Noticed that ListButtons, MediaFolderIcons and NoCoverArt resources folders are empty. Is this intentional or just a todo?

[McBainUK]

Is the CoreImages install folder up to date? I've found that some of the images don't match what's in the resources folder, eg More_Left/Up/Down/Right.png and Up.png/Down.png.

edit: 5 posts in a row, will shut up now...

The more testers the better, but I've been on Vista exclusively since I set up the VMware dev client. So you've been Vista testing without even knowing it

Listbuttons: I don't know where these are used and I've never done graphics for them before but I'm more than willing to if needed.

MediaFolderIcons: I feel these are covered with the graphics in "FolderIcons", but again just let me know.

NoCoverArt: I also feel that this is covered by the hardcoded FileIcons (which have a transparent option included for the skinplugin) (*)

I was thinking that the best course of action would be to lock down the resource folder:

• Options/choices
  
• Structure/naming
  

I'm in favour of just having what's needed and/or requested by users. If you look at the old CS, stuff can tend to creep. So I'd be in favour of keeping it as minimal as is practical.

I'll try and fill the layout folder with the xml (meta) options. I just need to get around to double checking them.

Once the resource folder is set, then we (as in the royal we ) can build a SkinPluginConfig.xml that reflects those selectable options, then it'll definitely ready for a beta.
