Description Finally ! after a lot of work i can finally say this is good enough to be released, well, i think xD

First of all, the wallpaper is not made by me, the wallpaper can be found here [link] and its made by casperium , thanks casperium for making such amazing wallpapers so, if you like it, go download it and add it to faves and comment guys.

The configurator is a mod of the awesome fediaFedias configurator applet found here [link]

PRIMUS is a theme based on metroid primes HUD.

The theme includes:

Memory Meter (the one bar in the upper part).
CPU Meter (that circle one in the left).
Hard disk meter with launcher (wich you can multiply if you want more than one).
Media Player Controls for VLC, Winamp and iTunes.
Shortcuts to browser, messaging,mail,image soft, and media player.
Folder launchers.
Media Player Info skin for VLC, Winamp and iTunes.
Date,Clock and Weather, each on its own skin.
Configurator for a relatively easy set up of the thing

The theme resizes itself based on your screen resolution, its been tested on 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and seems to work fine on 5:4 (1280x1024) too.

The media player controls are made for VLC, so you need to configure VLC to use them or they will throw a nasty error message, you can find out how to do it here [link] .

You can duplicate the drives and folders an mod them to have as many as you need.


Well i think thats all for the moment, enjoy



########UPDATES########

------------------------------------------------
08/March/2011 Updated to Version 1.2
------------------------------------------------

The skin finally has full support for winamp and itunes, the itunes one works exactly the same as the vlc one, you just need to change the variant of the left skin, and go into RainBrowser to change the variants of the Media_info skin to the itunes ones, for the winamp one, the only media info used is the track, because i wasnt able to find a way to split it into track, artist and album, ill keep trying tho, but for the moment, it looks pretty alright the way it is...

Edit 1. The Winamp mode also works for Media Monkey.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy it, any bugs or advice, leave me a comment...


------------------------------------------------
26/Nov./2010 Version 1.1 Fix 1
------------------------------------------------

There were some issues with the drive skin and some other things, so i fixed them and now its working nice, also, yestedray i forgot to reset the color to the original blue and i packed it white, well, it is blue again .

------------------------------------------------
25/Nov./2010 Updated to Version 1.1
------------------------------------------------

Well, i worked a little in the resolution issues, now the left and right sides of the hud have 3 variants, 16:9, 16:10, and 4:3, so its compatible with almost every resolution out there, i also fixed some issues with the size of the drive and the folder skins, in 16:10 they resized the wrong way, well thats fixed now and they resize as they have to.....

Anyways, i would love some feedback on the 4:3 variant, as i dont have any 4:3 monitor to test it myself, and of course, if something its wrong or missplaced or you find some issue with the skins, let me know in the comments so i can fix it and make this as good as it can be.....

On this theme there's a settings button on the top right. Click on it, and set HUD alpha to 500 instead of 300. Or as high as you might want it to be. Just anything above 300.

i have winamp and itunes versions of the left panel ready, and im working on the media info thingie, been a lil short of time lately, and been thinkin of ways to do it because it bugs me a lil to have, for instance, the media info part consist of 3 skins, and itll be 9 with the winamp and itunes support, so i was thinking about releasing them sepparately, i dunno, what you guys think about it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kraid08 In reply to H1B1K1 [2011-03-06 18:34:01 +0000 UTC]

Can't you try to let the user choose what media player to use within the settings thing on the top left?
If not, then how about creating seperate .ini's for each player? (like Primus/Player/Album;Artist;Track/Winamp.ini;iTunes.ini;VLC.ini )

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

H1B1K1 In reply to kraid08 [2011-03-07 00:25:01 +0000 UTC]

yes, thats what i was saying, but it gets kinda bulky, because the left side already has 3 .ini, so, for full winamp and itunes support, i would need to add another 6 !!, 9 choices of ini could get confusing, also i dont think it cant be done in the settings, those are mostly for numeric values and stuff like that...i guess ill end up just adding the 6 ini, is that or releasing those 6 in a separate skin...

Oh its awesome! Thank you!

The memory override sizer isn't working for me, but I managed to manually shrink it to fit my smaller secondary. I'd love to see new features added later on, because this is fun skin to use! Maybe a mail icon variable can be the gmail notice, with a superimposed number for new messages? And I'd love to see the VLC player work with iTunes, though I might have to switch to VLC just to see it in action.

yes, unfortunately, with rainmeter skins its almost impossible to make something compatible with every resolution, and with all the standards out there, but dont do worry, im actually working on a 4:3 and i may upload it later.....thanks for the watch and the fav by the way
