Skining Guide

Welcome to the skining guide! (UPDATED WITH XPLOREME 4.1 FEATURES!)

you can make a customized skin for XploreME player!

the skins can be placed inside XploreME's jar file
or can be loaded via folder at the phone's filesystem

every skin have its png files:

for the picture viewer:
box.png - the details box background

for the media player:
0.png - the player background (pause button should be pushed)
1.png - shuffle on
2.png - repeat on
3.png - play indicator
4.png - stop indicator
5.png - pause indicator
6.png - play button pushed
7.png - stop button pushed
8.png - lock indicator
9.png - progress bar image

you can change the default vals of the skin (positions,colors etc..)
in order to do that you need to place a file named: "player.ini"
in the player.ini file you need to write only the vals you want to change
you DONT NEED to write all the default vals .
the syntax is:
name=value
make sure the file dont have unwanted spaces and not saved as unicode text!

after you make the skin, dont forget to update the skin name in:
skins.ini file that in skins folder. (if the skin is installed on the JAR)

please submit the skins you make in this forum!

happy skinning!

Appendix - Font of text:

In order to make a code you need to select a style,size,face
and sum their values from the following list:

Value 0 is assigned to STYLE_PLAIN.
Value 1 is assigned to STYLE_BOLD.
Value 2 is assigned to STYLE_ITALIC.
Value 4 is assigned to STYLE_UNDERLINED.

Value 8 is assigned to SIZE_SMALL.
Value 0 is assigned to SIZE_MEDIUM.
Value 16 is assigned to SIZE_LARGE.

Value 0 is assigned to FACE_SYSTEM.
Value 32 is assigned to FACE_MONOSPACE.
Value 64 is assigned to FACE_PROPORTION

For example the code for bold,small,monospace font is 1+8+32 = 41
