Description ABOUT |one of the benefits from frequently browsing the deviantART galleries is that every once in a while i pretty much get inspired by some more or less magnificent artwork. for instance i stumbled over a very decent looking webinterface the other day. nothing too special actually, but i very much liked the overall appearance and the alignment of all the various elements. well, that's when i thought: "hey, this one might look cool as a CAD fullscreen skin!"

so, one thing lead to another and after 3 days of work i have so much tweaked and customized the whole setup, that apart from the elements' alignment, it's now hardly possible to still see a resemblance with the original webinterface i've mentioned above.

this was basically the reason why i decided not to ask for a permission to use any part of that artwork, because as a matter of fact i'm not using any of the original artwork's graphics. besides, i didn't feel the need to ask for a permission to align my skin's elements like the way i did.

however, it is fair enough to mention the artist behind my source of inspiration. so, please make sure to visit the gallery of...


TIPS |ThaFileScope is also featuring a fullscreen substyle which can be used on all screen resolutions equal or above 1024x768 pixels.

granted the fact that you have CD Art Display 2.0 installed, you can easily install (apply) this skin by dragging/dropping the ThaFileScope.cskin file onto a running CD Art Display or by simply doubleclicking that file in your windows' explorer.
i hope you like ThaFileScope and i'm very much looking forward to your feedback.

I really like the graphic line u use here, the font avant garde -Isn't it?- was a great choice, the black with its percentages and the metal gradient look very good with the red, For my taste i'll remove the ornament from the back but that's my very crazy taste so, don't listen to me.

I like everything, except that this time the skin is not for me, cause I never use fullscreen skins, but U did it again well done.

thank you very very much!

don't let the preview image misguide you.
although a fullscreen style is part of this skin it is however not a fullscreen skin only.
there are three more styles to choose from, which perhaps might meet your liking.

although avant garde is a fantastic font as well i decided to go for CenturyGothic this time.
as to the "crazy" ornament... well, i had a long thought about that for myself, but in the end i just thought that the skin would look a bit too empty without any extra something on that banner-like background. afterall i think the ornament isn't that bad.
i can understand that you don't like it that much tho.

anyways....
....thanks for your precise examination of the preview image and also for pointing out the things you like the most about it.

that was a great feedback of yours.

now go ahead and try this skin's non-fullscreen styles, will ya?

it's actually quite difficult to tell both AvantGarde and CenturyGothic apart.
especially if they are watched in UPPERCASE mode (like in my skin).

...i'm just thinking, maybe i should add a non-fullscreen style of this skin to the preview image.
what do you think?

in fact i've read your comment over at cad.com a few dozen times now.
actually that's pretty close to repeating yourself.


thanks so much for your kindness, bro.

Hi Otis, mein Freund.
Heute mal auf deutsch, wenn es recht ist.

Ich habe ja schon im CAD-Firum meinen Senf dazu gegeben. Sehr schon aufgeteiler und stylischer Skin, der für meinen Geschmack etwas dunkler sein könnte.

Ich liebe den Effekt des "Versinkens" in den Hintergrund an den Seiten des Case, sowie den abgerundeten Schatten oben und unten. Die "exposed" Version ist mir definitiv zu groß für meine 1280x1024px.

Aber heute bestelle ich mir endlich einen 24"er. Dann sollte diese Version auch gut auf meinem Desk aussehen.

Das filmstreifenähnliche Design gefällt gut (soll es das sein?).
Mir ist noch aufgefallen, dass diesmal kein LyricPanel dabei ist.

Alles in allem, ist dir mit diesem Skin mal wieder ein Design-Meisterwerk gelungen. Und mit den vorhandenen Styles wird jeder Geschmack bedient.

Thanks for sharing... (und , da ich deinen Kompositionen keinen Widerstand beibringen kann )

OtisBee In reply to barberioX [2008-08-26 13:42:29 +0000 UTC]

ein 24"er?
vom feinsten!
du wirst es lieben.
ich selbst hab auch einen und nun wird es immer schwieriger mich bei manchen skin grössen (stichwort "exposed") zurückzuhalten, denn sie sollen ja auch auf meinen 1920x1200 noch geil aussehen.
oh ja, ich kann mir dein fettes grinsen schon vorstellen, wenn du das erste mal einen fullscreen skin auf den 24"er lädst.
ich denke da können wir bald auch einen fullscreen skin von dir erwarten.

FULLSCREEN SKINS FOR PRESIDENT

vielen vielen dank für deine feinen worte und natürlich auch für den !!!!
