My iPod Skin for VLC 0.8.5-test1 and above

The Skin


The Download

Hi,
there are many errors in your XML, as you can easily see if you try to open it with a web browser for instance.

- line 32: a " is missing after "#FF00FF
- line 39: the line ends with '/>' instead of '>'
- line 54: the "id" attribute is missing
- line 60: the line ends with '/>' instead of '>'
- line 75: the line ends with '/>' instead of '>'
- line 79: '</Window>' is missing before '</Theme>"

as AsMaX says, if you use an editor (or at least a viewer) that colour codes your xml you'd find errors much more easily.

editplus is good if you're windows based. unfortunately it's not "free" in the open source sence and not officially free in the monetary sense either. it has a trial period that will go on forever if you choose not to pay for it.

mark.

thx a lot, now coding with evolvED
didnt see the errors in notepad

Nice skin

Have been sick for some days so could not continue work on this skin. But now im back up and continue the work

Finished the skin today. You can add it to the download list now Hope you like it

Added, thanks.

Hum, the skin doesn't work here (problems when opening the png files it seems)

Don't know what causes it, but i found a way working around.
Just load another skin before you load the iPod Skin, then it works.

ipkiss: do you know how to fix this?

Hmm the problem is that when a skin is compressed in zip format, the file names are converted to lower case when extracted (I did that to solve issues with winamp2 skins). But as you wrote "iPod.png" and not "ipod.png" in theme.xml, the file cannot be found on linux as the file system is case sensitive.
Please always use lower case to avoid problems...
I've just uploaded a fixed version of the skin on videolan.org and it works fine now
