Noobs How To:
Download the .zip file below,
Don't follow the instructions of the old .doc.( this file is obsolete)
Unpack the .cab and transfer it anywhere to you device,
Start the cab file,
Select the drive of your Coreplayer installation,
Fire-up your CorePlayer.

Enjoy.

What's next:
YouTube, if I can find the solution.
Landscape mode update. But no hurry there?
This is part one, so anything is possible.

Suggestions:


Black Grease 0.40 first public release
Black Grease 0.42 style update
Black Grease 0.42.2 very minor adjustments+added .cab version update: 12-03-10

I want to thank:
DavidVD for his assistance with some graphical parts of the skin. Cheers mate!

You did an amazing job :):):)
But I found 2 problems in the File Selection page that I think are important:
1. not show the path
2. not show the selective boxes

Can you fix these?

My device is Touch Diamond (VGA).

Also in YouTube page not show many things like settings button and fonts in main window

You must be replace the black fonts color to white,
in YouTube logo replace the black fonts (You) to white,
the search frame replace the black to white
and I believe the icons must be more "attractive".

Thanks ebsbow.
Great job!

Maybe its nothing, but the color of the selector should be an other color I think?

ebsbow,

As said yesterday, after a day of use, first point to say is CorePlayer looks nicer than ever.

Now time for the points to improve from my point of view:
- No timer anymore, I don't know how long the movie I want to see will last.
- As stated by kastel71, it is a bit difficult to choose a video file. That leads to strange behaviour such as viewing a movie you think you do not have selected.

I hope you can fix these things.

OK!
I made some small changes:
1. youtube and dailymotion icons
2. youtube logo (from black "You" to white)
3. close, meta (info) and net (beside full screen icon) icons
4. directory path font color (from black to white) at File Selection page
5. highlight color (from green to dark gray)
6. search background (from black to dark grey)

But I don't find yet how to make visible the checkboxes and I 'm still working on it.

Thanks guy's for the comments sofare.

@The_Steph: Yes, the timer is an style thing. Hav'nt yet figured out how to place it into the style. I considered placing it over the image, but that looked very sloppy.
Let's see if we can place it into the other view.

@kastel71: Nice work!
Definitively going to correct the file path color, and the Google search box.
The check boxes are still eluding me aswell.

@Bardok: Yes indeed, the color needs some tweaking still. Looking into that.

@PollPixx: Thats wierd, but I don't think its related to the skin. Though if someone else is having an similar problem, then I will certainly look into it.

edit;
Anyone have an working YouTube?

It looks awesome, but....this must be a coincedence, but after adding your skin to my coreplayer it plays not well anymore. The image is stucking after 3 seconds, the audio keeps running. Anyone an idea where this is coming from??

Edit, after re-installing coreplayer everything seems to be working again...

Cheers,
Arnold

@PollPixx : I don't think that's related to the skin. Atleast, never came across any comment relating to that kind of skinning problem.
But I will surtenly look into this if others have the same problem.

No worries, I just mention it...it may mean nothing. As I set I re-installed Coreplayer and now your skin is working, maybe I had an older version of Coreplayer at first. Looks great!

Cheers,
Arnold

Hey,

so first of all the screenies look amazing and I will give it a try :)

The problem is I followed ur advices and installed it on my device, I am not quite sure whether I installed it on the main memory or store card, so I tried both.

After installed to the main memory respectively the store card I have made a reset :eek:

No changes at all :)

What am I doing wrong?

Appreciating ur work!

@impreZzA:
Coreplayer must be installed in the default folder, on the card or other wise. The application should work for you. Just execute the cab file and select the correct memory location. Also be sure you have an recent version of CorePlayer.
