Title: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on July 28, 2010, 09:03:50 AM
Forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't too sure where to put it.

Anyway, I did a search at some point for Touhou skins for Windows Media Player. Coming up completely dry, I decided to do one of my own. As usual with many of my projects, I started with Flandre.

[attach=1]

Large blue crystal controls the volume, large green crystal is the tracking bar, and the buttons are her wing crystals: on the right, top to bottom, is play, pause, stop, next, and previous; on the left, return to full mode, close, and minimize. It's pretty basic. No visualizations or a way to select tracks in skin mode.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0frfivju2h94xih

Going to try one with Yukari next. Visualizations will be included with that one. After that, I might take requests, if you guys have any.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, for those that don't know, the extraction path for the files is probably C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins .

EDIT2: Updated the Flandre skin. This version, if anyone wants it, has a new download link.

Post by: swamp147 on July 28, 2010, 07:12:18 PM
Looks really nice :)
Have you thought about doing a Gengetsu one after you finish Yukari? ;)
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on July 28, 2010, 08:57:44 PM
Thanks, guys. Glad you like it so far.

Gengetsu did not cross my mind, but if you have any pictures of her you can recommend, then I can see if I can think of something.

[attach=1]

Finished up Yukari today. The eyes are the buttons, same orientation as Flandre's. The gap she's sitting on plays visualizations. I wanted to make the volume bar and the tracking bar animated, but that lagged too much.

Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on July 30, 2010, 07:01:06 PM
Yet another is done, if anyone is interested. This time it's Reisen, done on request from a friend who's a fan of hers.

[attach=1]

Eyes in the background play visualizations, the bullet on the left is the volume bar, and the bullet on the right is the tracking bar.

The row of bullets, from right to left, goes like this: play, pause, stop, next, previous, minimize, close, and return to full screen.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?hgtl3uwd7bevl74

Might do a Patchouli one next, not sure.
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on July 31, 2010, 08:57:38 AM
Flandre has now been upgraded to the quality of Yukari and Reisen!

[attach=1]

Same thing as the first version, but this time the symbol/logo/whatever plays visualizations.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?e2tbbe6scc55o4g

Also, the first version is still there, if anyone prefers it over this. I changed the download link in the first post.
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: swamp147 on August 01, 2010, 01:34:50 AM
Wow dude, these are really well-made. Your upgraded Flan one is the one I'm using now :)
Is it possible for you to somehow make one out of this picture? Maybe using some of the tiles and/or eye/bat things as buttons... but you're the pro, so whatever you feel would look the best!

You would really put a huge smile on my face :D
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on August 01, 2010, 09:39:39 AM
Well, that was interesting.

Elly's done, and I think she turned out quite well. Thanks for the suggestion.

[attach=1]

Bat things are the buttons, same orientation as Flandre's, but reversed. Right half of the apple on the bottom is the volume, left half is the tracking bar. Visualizations play on the apple in the background.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?apz788zyv9ewdb3

I would do Gengetsu, but I can't find any good pictures of her. The same friend who requested Reisen also requested Meiling, so she might be up next.
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: swamp147 on August 01, 2010, 06:45:02 PM
That looks amazing! Thanks!! Using it now :)

I was actually looking for Gengetsu at first, but like you said, it's hard to find any good ones that would also fit as a wmp skin. I stumbled upon Elly during my search, and though this one would look cool.
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Sriggle on August 01, 2010, 08:39:12 PM
Hmm, do you think you could do Wirggle Nightbug next?

http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/665122/absurdres-antenna-cape-fireflies-foreshortening-fr

If it would be OK...
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on August 02, 2010, 01:06:13 AM
I don't think that picture would work, but I could certainly do Wriggle. She'll be quite easy, so I think I'll do her before Meiling.

I keep wanting to refer to Wriggle as masculine...  :ohdear:
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on August 02, 2010, 05:08:59 AM
Forgive the double post, but Wriggle's done. She was harder to design than I thought she would be. I hope it came out well.

[attach=1]

The large fireflies on the upper left are the buttons. I'm not sure how to list them for this one, though. The butterfly on the bottom right is the tracking bar, and the one on the bottom left is the volume. Visualizations play on the firefly swarm behind her, but it works best on a dark background.

And Meiling is finished.

[attach=1]

Buttons on the left side are, top to bottom, play, pause, stop, next, and previous. On the right, it's return to full mode, close, and minimize. Volume is the upper symbol on the bottom right, tracking bar is the lower symbol.

After a bit of a break, I got another one done. Utsuho Reiuji this time.

[attach=1]

Top row of radioactive symbols has the play buttons, second row has return to full screen, minimize, and close. Upper biohazard symbol is the tracking bar, bottom one is volume. Cape plays visualizations.

Pretty much the same format as Meiling. Lower left spear is the tracking bar, lower right spear is the volume.

Finished Kaguya.

[attach=1]

The artifacts are the buttons. I wasn't able to fit the symbols on the branch's spheres, so I decided to leave the symbols out of this one. The buttons still say what they do if you highlight them, though. Cape plays visualizations, moon on the left is the tracking bar, moon on the right is volume control.

Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Janitor Morgan on November 01, 2010, 04:19:53 PM
Just a general reminder that posted images need to have 640x480 dimensions or smaller, and also less than 150 kb in filesize. .png images in particular tend to be pretty huge in filesize. If the images are larger than 640x480 or 150 kb, please post a thumbnail or a link to the image.

I've gone and reduced the images thus far to links, except for the Flandre in the first post, since I think that one's small enough that it fits in the filesize limit. (EDIT: I saved it to check...it's too big. Sorry. :<)

Also, when you find the time, do you think you could make a Patchouli skin?

What version of WMP do you have? I would think being it Win7 you would have WMP12 right? Where have you put the files and what is happening with the? WMP 12 can be tricky, It doesn't seem to like going into skins when clicking the icon in the library to go to the compact mode, instead you could try pressing ctrl+2 to go to skin mode and ctrl+1 to get to the library.
Title: Re: Touhou WMP skins
Post by: Unassuming Squid on November 17, 2010, 01:50:44 AM
I've tried them on a computer with Windows 7, and they worked just fine. I can't access that computer now, though, so I'm afraid I can't help there. Just tinker around with stuff and see if anything works.

Also, new skin. Patchouli this time.

[attach=1]

Candle flames are the tracking/volume bars, circle behind her plays visualizations, and the books and crystals are the buttons.

Cutting that symbol was a pain. :/

I don't know who approved your post but, the post before yours was over 3 years ago. Also, the creator of these skins hasn't signed in since 2012. I think we can officially call this vaporware.

Locked.
