From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
The Audio Wonder from Downunder!
Published on July 25, 2007 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Today we're kicking off a new feature on WinCustomize; The Developer Interview Series.  We spend a lot of time talking to and about skinners, but not so much about the folks that really make the hobby (or profession for some) actually possible.

To kick things off, our first interview is with the lead developer behind the Xion skinnable media player application, Cliff Cawley.  Xion is our most recent gallery addition here at WinCustomize, and one of our most quickly growing!  Xion is a relative newcomer to the skinnable application area, having just been released to the public a year ago, but it's already developed a strong following due to how easy it is to skin the application.  Instead of building the art in one application and piecing together the skin in another, artists can visually layout and build their skin entirely in Photoshop using layers.

Click the link below to read the full interview with Cliff for a peek behind the scenes of one of the more popular skinnable apps on the net today.

Do I need to maintain the layers when I export it?


I'm betting yes, since Xion is applying the layers

Do I need to maintain the layers when I export it?


Yes...each layer is critical...each has to be named as to its function...play,stop,etc..

see, I don't think naming the layers is even possible when exporting from Coreldraw. Oh well...

I think Xion is the coolest skinnable audio player I have found.
