Ah, one thing though, have a toggle to make the main player "flat". Our friends minar and gcantoni's Material2 has this option and I find it nice! The best of both worlds would be awesome. Having the minimalistic flat look of the Material2 skin with, the thinner waves and minimalistic icons combined with the options and layout of Andrew's skin would be perfect. Than all we need is a selection of different (smaller and minimalistic) play and seek buttons and it's too good to be true 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can PA determine the AA is white that it will automatically switch to black? The background sliders in PA settings is for adjusting for this.

andrewilley Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I just saw a posting in the main 810 build thread which included the below positional example, which would be even more perfect for adding your simple thin seekbar (in the gap just below the buttons) and thus keeping an upper waveseek, the five pro buttons, and a simple linear seekbar all on one screen and clearly separated: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been tweaking that already but thanks for chiming in. What I really want is to invert (white vs black, vice versa) the coloration of the controls/functions in which Andrew mentioned a deeper understanding of the app, hence, not possible, probably in the near future.

They do two different things: The lower narrow traditional seekbar provides a convenient start-to-finish view of the whole track, and the ability to visualise exactly how far through the track you currently are. You can also move linearly (albeit in rather coarse jumps for longer tracks) to a new playback position. The new style waveseek facility provides the ability to move in small and controlled increments backwards and forwards. This is very useful if you are listening to a long track (for example a two hour podcast or concert) and want to nudge back a few seconds to re-listen to something, or skip past a few minutes of adverts, for example. However it is not very good for moving large distances, such as to near the start or end of a track which takes several swipes, nor for seeing visually roughly how far through a track you are. The combination of having both methods available at once is very powerful. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew0 Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 @Parth Rathore @andrewilley How do you activate the half waveseek? Update! * Now track counter and label match transparent/translucent option. * now track counter, label, elapsed time and total time matches round/square. I'll be working on the other requests soon P.S.: Just updated, so it should be available soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know about the half waveseek bar that means it is something unintentional or might be a visual glitch I'm not sure I absolutely love this design and it's not interfering with other options of the skin. It looks gorgeous with my personal gradient settings Please don't disable this & it also works with your latest update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I have a question before falling in love: Do we get non-square covers, tall or wide, cropped on this skin? I don't want to fall back on my old workaround of making transparent PNGs for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to fall back on my old workaround of making transparent PNGs for this. I could be wrong, but I think the cover artwork is provided from PA's own database of images, so ratios will be whatever PA supplies to the skin. If so, that question is still something you need to take up with Max for inclusion within the core app. Personally I tend to agree that rectangular covers should not be cropped into square ratio boxes - for example I have a number of source movie soundtracks for which vertical poster artwork is embedded in the file rather than there being a nice square CD cover.

invaderzim Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 @Andrew0 Awesome update! The audio/track info should not be transparent when tapping long on the metadata line for it to be readable. Should be the same as Info/Tags below. This skin is becoming more perfect! 👌Thank you!

LFB Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 OMG my UI is awful why is that? Too much spaces... Cover is adjusted awful... My device Nexus 5 5 inch display 1080... Expanded escreen with no navbar. Any way to solve this? I think is happen with default PA also... Thats too ugly... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because it's not adapted properly to your phone screen size, only to small screens… This is not an isolated case either because I think I've seen it elsewhere in this forum!

invaderzim Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 @LFB Try playing around with the seek bar toggles. But yes, it's an issue with the dimensions of the PA core app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmahdi Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 @Andrew0Are devices with a 6-inch (phablet) screen in your app defined, maybe because of this I can not use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Just a couple of minor comments that I noticed last night: 1) The top of the play icon is being cropped by the panel which contains the shuffle/repeat/etc icons. I'd suggest allowing the two to overlap transparently instead, as there is actually no clash of the actual content, just the placeholder panels. 2) The position-count and total-time boxes should match the rest of the interface in terms of style (i.e. should be grey not black in the above case). 3) Also, the count boxes should be left- and right-justified so as to be lined up nearer to the edge of the screen (probably aligned to the edge of the widest element of the interface, in this case the Visualisation and Shuffle icons). Not sure whether the position of the metadata line can be dynamic, based on the changing width of the current timer content, but it's quite possible that both timers could easily contain up to five digits.

Andrew0 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 @invaderzim Fixed the transparent background. @andrewilley position should be fixed now, can you confirm this? as you have a smaller phone than me @Prosenjit Can't fix the problem on the help screen. I have to ask max for fix as I can't reference that screen. UPDATENew option added: * track elapsed time and track duration time background can be now set: "transparent", "semi transparent" or "solid" I will take a look to the other things on this days.

There's plenty of space for the buttons and seekbar, but the panel above it seems to be cropping the top off them for some reason: Transparency of the counters is fine now by the way. This is becoming a very flexible and configurable skin indeed. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This app is doing amazing but, can you do something so I can have the buttons of the first image but the flat bar of the second image? I'm sure that there aren't any options to do it in the actual version of the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonluciano824 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 First of all, I love this skin. However, I have an issue with the size of the album cover of songs. The device is a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (1440x2560). The no skin default original alternate layout artwork size comes up properly. The skin no alternate layout shows proper sized artwork also but it doesn't when picking the alternate layout. Basically I want the first picture with the seekbar instead of the waveseek without the album artwork being scaled down.
