[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley yes a base colour as set by a global variable but for gradients i need to use an xml drawable which then overrides the value

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley i tried a few different approaches but without any luck. The artifact TopListWidget is used for both library and main ui views. By setting the background, the albumblur (milk) is overwritten. It appears it is not possible to separate the 2 views. I imagine the fact that the same widget is used for both main ui and library has something to do with the transitions.

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley I have not been able to preserve the blur as well as gradients at the same time. perhaps some more investigations

at the moment:

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Latest release V145 has been published on Google Play. Keep an eye out as tt may take some time for it to show.

The gradient is created by setting a start colour, mid colour and an end colour. The spread of the colours can be altered by changing the angle of the gradient and/or changing the X and/or Y positions

At the moment there are 26 colours to choose from giving you 26³   (17576) possible combinations so you can create your own unique background

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Coming up in the next release.. Choose from a range of colours and create  your own gradient background. In addition, you can change the angle of the gradient and move the center left/right/up/down

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Latest release V144 (published 29/05/21) has  new app and option icons

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

It just keeps coming ...

in the next release:

- above mentioned issue with navbar colours haas been resolved

- additional option to size the equaliser sliders, 

 

added setting corners too

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley yes, will need to be fixed. It will go black when transparent

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

 

In the next version (143) you will be able to set the gradient colours  buttons on the equaliser screens independently. You can go crazy with the colours

 

 

[One click song deletion w/o confirmation possible now?]

@CapHif you toggle the option shortcuts in the "Hide" options then 2 buttons will appear. One for track deletion, the other for adding to playlists

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Google is taking its time in releasing the latest version but I can promise you it is going to blow your mind !!

Once it has been released, a nice challenge for the users, post screenshost of your design !!

The possible variations are endless

Here is a taster

 

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Coming up in the next version:

for each main group of colours, I have added a gradient colour.  So an additional 25 gradient colours giving over 200 colours to choose from. 

The big difference wih similar offerings in other skins is that you can apply different gradients to different elements so it is totally up to you where  you apply a colour or gradient colour.

below and example

 

[Android Studio - Gradle upgrade breaking spectrums loading]

@maxmp 4.2.1 , 10 may 2021

[Add #EXTINF data to playlist exports (for Soundiizz/etc compatibility)]

@6b6561 try my app New Playlist Manager, it reads from the Poweramp media database and creates .m3u playlists with the required information

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley fixed the pause issue and button animation (which was not working correctly). V140 published on Google just now

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@andrewilley i did work on the playbuttons. Now each button uses one defined parent style rather than each button having its own. Code becomes a lot easier to maintain that way.

I will check the pause button.

As for the gradient grey, i created those using adobe illustrator which creates vector images. These types of images can scale without losing definition, unlike bitmaps or .png.  Android Studio is able to import these but then you cannot change them.

[Android Studio - Gradle upgrade breaking spectrums loading]

@maxmp one user reports waveseek was misbehaving too, now fixed with my new release reverted to previous gradle

[Android Studio - Gradle upgrade breaking spectrums loading]

@maxmp, I was not able to post in Developers area hence this post here. Basically a request for help/assistance

After my latest upgrade of $YAPS$ skin (v138) recently some users made me aware that the spectrums no longer loaded and defaulted to Poweramp - spectrum-centered. 

To make a long story short, it turns out that the Gradle update from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
to
 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'

causes the problem. 

below some stacktrace

it is worth noting that the error:

05-14 10:24:52.246 3579-3579/? E/SkinInfo: fillFromXml bad tag=resources at Binary XML file line #2 app=skins.v3.Poweramp.apowerampskin

shows even when things work as expected.

Reverting back to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3' resolves the issue

 

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@MotleyG as always, make and model please

[Melodi - Poweramp Skin]

@andrewilley it is a particular setting in the item Listsubstyle, my car mode uses this.

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

Next release V137 (subject to Google's release)

- additional option Poweramp V2 style play buttons

- additional option to apply PowerampV2 style to the front 4 buttons, time elapsed, duration, play count and metadata 

- improved graphics for the silver button in the equaliser screens (a more skeuomorphic design)

 

 

[Will not recognize ratings tags]

@Kronep a few points, ratings are saved by Poweramp but only in a playlist. The number of times played is not though. However my app new playlist manager has functionality to backup and restore ratings and times played. It also has functionality to read and write ratings to the popm tag of the track itself. You may find reading and writing to the popm tag does not work for music located on an external sdcard under android 11.

Update: just tested the reading popm and update Poweramp Ratings and it works fine. (one small issue under android 11 wjich does not affect the updating, but will be resolved)

[Seek more than 5s ? Car skin ?]

@mite_jan the only skins with layout adaptations for cars are my skins Bigyaps and $yaps$. The latter even has a special layout called car mode. I am not aware of any others

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@Xander71 it was not  suggested that no one uses these buttons, just that i do not. Anyway, issue has been identified so no doubt will be fixed in the next release

[YAPS goes where no other skin has gone before]

@Xander71 yes, these icons always showed like this. I do not use the buttons myself so have not paid much attention to them. Clearly not correct so will be fixed. Thanks
