I know about the Creative Commons license but I still feel that asking his permission before touching his hard word for a 'remix' is the most respectful way to go :D

@Dark Eiri, I've gone ahead and replied to your PM regarding your port. :)

@JEEB, feel free to let me know if you would like to see something different in v2 of my Flatro icon set.

[patong]

@nautilus7, Thank you and if you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to post them :)

@vBm, I'll be sure to add the requested file extensions from user Stanzilla in the next coming days. Thank you.

@Dark Eiri, Sounds great! I look forward to seeing your port :) I plan on expanding the icon library with any requested file extensions I receive from users. I'll have the .ico files available to you and anyone who would like to build their own custom lib.dll in upcoming Flatro Theme versions.

In regards to the seekbar customization, I've been researching how to change the look of the MPC-HC seekbar since I began work on the Flatro Theme. But according to MPC-HC's Project Manager



Since I am not very familiar with the programming languages used in MPC-HC (such as C++ etc), I would definitely need assistance from the MPC-HC project developers to make such a large undertaken happen.

But I will keep on improving the Flatro theme and maybe even compile a custom installer (instead of the end-user having to replace files from a pre-existing install).

Whenever someone asks me what is a great multimedia player for them to use, I always recommend MPC-HC. But unfortunately, the first thing I hear out of their mouths is how dated the GUI looks. This reason alone is why some users switch to other media players like VLC and Potplayer. But to me, because of MPC-HC's small footprint and overall playback quality (among many other advantages), I've always preferred MPC-HC over the rest. Especially with the addition of madVR.

In terms of customizing MPC-BE, I'll have a look into this media player when I have some more downtime.

I also want to personally thank you for your support, feedback, and kind words on my little side-project. I too have been a fan of MPC-HC since I discovered the multimedia player one year ago. Put off by its current GUI, it has lead me to customize bits and pieces of the player to help give it a more updated/modern look based off of current metro/flat/semi-flat design trends.

Here are some elements and overall design changes I would love to integrate into MPC-HC's GUI with the help of the MPC-HC team...

I really like your design scethces! Any news on getting them integrated into MPC-HC?

Patong, those aren't my sketches. They are just some examples I found via Google of how I would like the future MPC-HC's UI to look like.

I also do not see the current dev. team implementing any UI changes to MPC-HC any time soon, sorry.

Armada was semi active for past 6 months. Now that he's back-ish, I guess he'll do whatever he can, as soon as he can :)

Enjoy! :) Any feedback and or requests would be much appreciated.

This has been bugging me for a while and I couldn't find an answer. In MPC-BE, when I open audio files it has a speaker background that can go full screen. In MPC-HC, there's none and I've been trying to find some way, if any exist, to place a background while playing audio files. Is it possible to use a background in MPC-HC while playing audio files?

[Doom9]

Has anybody tested those in a HiDP scenario? MPC gets a pain to use beyond 125% scaling so it would be nice to have something that scales properly.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible in MPC-HC.

twtrade, any ETA on 1.7.6 compatibility ? (seen few folks asking for it on IRC)

[nautilus7]

Why don't you include the application icon into the mpc-hc.exe?

Hello, my 1st post here and already bumping up an old thread, but I've made a couple of toolbars to match Windows 8 metro style, so I thought I should share them. They both come in 32x32, 24x24 and 16x16 icon sizes.

I've uploaded them at deviantart (http://fav.me/d987brj) a few days ago (along with a background logo, this one's not a Metro style one though). You can download them from there. There's a preview/overview image there, along with a download button (at the top right of the page).

I hope they prove useful to other people too.

PS. Does anyone know if and how I can also submit them to MHC-HC's toolbar_images wiki (https://trac.mpc-hc.org/wiki/Toolbar_images)?
