BETA 6

Sat May 12, 2012 3:39 pm

Here is the sixth beta of the skin system:


WINDOWS: http://www.coollector.com/Coollector.exe

MAC OS X: http://www.coollector.com/Coollector_Movie_Database.zip


To start your experiments, click the menu "Tools->Skin Editor (BETA)".

A lot of things don't work very well, and some don't work at all. If a setting doesn't have the expected effect, just move on, as it's probably not implemented yet. For example, changing the width of the borders doesn't work at all with this version.


What's fixed with this version:

- implemented several background settings.

- implemented several border settings.

- fixed a crashing bug that occurred while resizing the main window.



What remains to be done:

- fix everything that doesn't work as it should...

- border widths

- sizes

- redo the media icons (DVD, etc...)

- new skin info => author & credits

- new grid style with less text

- new grid style with no text at all

- filters & string search => highlight text using bold font, instead of outlining

- skin folders => deletion and management

- discovery and download of new skins, with a search by skin release date, author, or popularity

This Beta 6 shows up as Beta 5 in the skin edit menu.

Just played around with it though, so it's just a typo. Not important.


Video cell colour and resizing errors both fixed! Thanks for your hard work! :D

Sorry, forgot to change that.

Also the Cell1 text, and a few other things.

You can send them my way for cleanup if you like.

Thank you very much for the nice offer, but I will be ok.

Those are icons I have easily found vector versions on the internet. It's more the programmation that requires work, as I will do things slightly differently. And I'm rather satisfied with the clean and simple solution that I've found :D
