After over a 4 month abscense from the WMP skinning forefront, and over 10 months since the last installment of BASIC, BASIC Version 5 is Finally available to the public.
As is with all of the installments of BASIC, this skin is based around being the most easy to use, functional, and sleekest skin that I could possibly make. Graphics, as many of you would say "unfortunately" have taken a back-seat, but the coding and functionality shines through in all it's glory.
This skin has nothing obvious and special to boast about, other than how it is a skin that you will keep coming back to, I can gaurentee that. As always, I can gaurentee that this code is completely bugless, no matter how much you hammer on this skin, it will always work. I gaurentee that, it's earned the "Reeses2150 Seal Of Approval".
This skin has 7 differant themes, which is a first for the BASIC series. Almost every element of this skin was remade completely from the ground up, using very little coding from the previous BASIC skins. I'm also really proud of the customizability of this skin, almost every element has SOME bit of customizable preferances you can set. That's especially true for the Playlist, which for once, you have COMPLETE control over what is displayed.
I've made this skin with efficiancy in mind, and due to that, sometimes, it may get a bit confusing to operate some elements at first. So I made a special HELP menu to be shown when you first load the skin, and then to be accesible anytime you want. The HELP window here is a lot differant than you'd think. When the HELP window is open, whenever you bring the cursor over almost any part of the skin, the HELP menu will instantly display Info/Instructions/details about that element, so It's easy a sin to use.
This is probably going to be my last solo skin, definitely my biggest. I'm planning on everything from here on out being collabs between myself and someone else doing the graphics. But knowing myself, this may or may not be true. So don't count me out just yet...
Official Count: 2480 Lines Of Code, 80000 Characters, 39 Images, 3 Months, and 372 Hours Total.
