Hey mates!

The seventh featured skin was a very clear decission. Browsing through the submissions of may, i first thought i had to feature my own skin "Hal's eye" but I didn't feel good featuring my own skin. So i was very happy to find Leviathan from

submitted on deviatart. I already knew it from the GUIOlympics and love its features, its compact shape, its useability... so the winner was almost instantly clear to me

Anyway, here you go, have a look at the great skin Leviathan Winamp Modern Skin made by *koregraphik

Congratulations!!! Awesome skin you made there!

Authors Comments: A skin I started working on when the 2004 GUIOlympics started. I had spent about a month and a half working on it. It has been entered into the competition, but as of writting this description, I have yet to win anything (...and I doubt I will, too). Graphics and coding are by yours truly.

One thing I should note:

Soon, I will be accepting color themes from anyone that wants to submit any to me to increase the already 30+ color themes the skin ships with. The themes people submit will have to be approved by me, and will be included in an update. I will probably be accepting color themes on my forum over at my site: www.koregraphik.com/

Features:
Custom Visualization
Switch from a "normal" to a "fullscreen" visualization.

Skin Configuration
Toggle certain visual elements on or off.

Smooth Transition Play-Pause
Play button fades to Pause, or vice-versa, depending on what the player is currently doing (Stopped, Playing or Paused).

Glow Effect
When on, if you mouse-over the buttons in the main player, the display and orb-like buttons will glow.

Video Window Display Bar
Exclusive to koregraphik.com skins, this bar, located below the video area in the video window, displays the video's playback-related information (name, fps, etc.). Also, if the user chooses, they could toggle the bar's visibility.

Customizable Buttons
The two buttons on the right of the player, which by default open the Playlist and Media Library, can be customized to open something else. Just give either one a right click.

There's also an Easter Egg included with the skin, which I won't really say much for, except that it involves a certain key combination followed by a click.

How are skins getting featured?
In the end of every month i'll have a look at every skinsubmission that was done in this month and pick the best FINISHED i can find. With finished i don't mean that everything has to be skinned, i only mean, that the skin mustn't be in betastate anymore.
please tell me if you don't want your skin getting featured.
