andrewilley Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The gradient tone background looks nice, but I can't figure out how to enable it for the library list screens without it also overriding the normal cover-art blur background on the player screen?

flyingdutchman Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 @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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Strange, as it's possible to have different background base colours and still use the album blur effect. Maybe Max might have an answer? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 @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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 The latest release Customisable gradients for the stroke(borders) with which you can create some nice effects by changing the gradient angle and x,y positions. Separate options are available for app background gradients. To achieve the look below Circle Custom Gradient: ====================== Start Colour : Black Center Colour: Blue Grey 700 End colour : Blue Grey 100 Gradient Angle : -45 X position : 0.6 Y position : 0.2 Custom Gradient Background Colour : =================================== Start Colour : Blue grey 1000 Center Colour: Blue Grey 700 End colour : Blue Grey 400 Gradient Angle : -135 X position : 0.0 Y position : 0.2 Buttons Background Colour: ==================== Gradient grey Here is another "gold" effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Might not be related, but I recently noticed that when the control button backgrounds are set to an Opaque colour, the transparency value of just the central Play/Pause button seems to change slightly when it transitions between states. Wasn't really worth mentioning on its own, but in case it's linked: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingdutchman Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 @MotleyG yes, the same range of colours is available. My main issue at the moment is when transparent background is selected for certain items as the border (stroke) is not really a border but an underlying layer which sticks out a little bit(the thickness the user sets in Fine Tune. Circles). When you the set the top layer to transparent, the underlying gradient layer shows. Currently working on how best to resolve this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingdutchman Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Version 148 has been released. Setting certain fields to transparent no longer misbehaves. However, circles and transparent fields cannot coexist so you will lose any coloured/gradient circles(borders) Any issues please email me rather than posting here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 You get a nice effect when setting backgrounds and circle gradients of the same colours. In this example I have chosen Lime Gradient for the buttons and different Lime colours for the circles. and for Teal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not post your design and settings ? I know in my case, I'm not overly interested in details around gradients and such and I'm not enough of a design person to end up with a good result if I miss with those things too much. I honestly bought the skin hoping it would make Poweramp more usable while driving, but the limitations you're working with within Poweramp limit just how much you can do in regards to moving items around and resizing them.

flyingdutchman Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 @greynolds you must have tried car mode or reflective layout? Do they not meet your needs?. Alternatively there is a free skin bigyaps, big play buttons, no albumart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively there is a free skin bigyaps, big play buttons, no albumart. Yeah, we discussed the problems via email several months ago and IIRC, some of them are things you said you can't address with the skin engine. We also discussed this some in the Looking for a skin for Android headunit thread. I haven't used Poweramp in a while largely because there just doesn't seem to be a way to get the available skins to work really well on an Android headunit. If you want to revisit any of this, I can try to find some time to try out the latest version and get back to you with some screenshots showing what the remaining issues are, but from what you've said in the past, there isn't too much of a chance that you can address them without some companion changes in Poweramp itself.

Would be nice to be able to move the artist, album, and song titles to the far left above the album art though to allow longer text values to display. Is there a way for us to share skin configs with each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingdutchman Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 @greynolds if your display is diffferent than the screenshot, drop me an email with model etc of your device.
