Mmm... once again, I find myself enjoying another Otisbee skin. This one screamed to me "put on your sidebar!" And put it there I did.
The subtle gradients on the album art display adds a lot of character to the skin, and oftentimes to the art itself (although it does look a little funky on some of the lighter artwork.) I'd rather have it there than not, to be sure.
The rating system is well implemented, subtle, and wonderfully animation. Speaking of which, my favorite part about this skin is the two little "lights" on the bottom, constantly pulsing back and forth. Most of the music I listen to happens to be about 150 BPM, which makes there little lights quite... mesmerizing.
Overall, it's a wonderful skin I think anyone would be more than happy to add to their collection. Great work.

i was often wondering about how my style could be described best (if there even is one).
now, to have it all sumarized and referred to as "quality" is something i haven't had in mind before.
i like it.
thanks a whole lot, my friend.
...and thanks as well for your fav.

The Ballad of the Abandoned Otis
There once was a young boy named Otis,
whose potency was widely acclaimed,
"So sexy!" "Cute ass!" & "Wtf!" was exclaimed,
As he sketched his CAD skins on parched lotus...
But one day, the girls stopped paying attention,
"+fav"'s and "+devwatches" faded into the ground,
Photoshop gave him heartburn - the phone not a sound,
His CAD skins received neither adulation nor mention...
"O treacherous fate!" He cried, "To be so abandoned!
My libido must warrant a more tempestuous applause,
Should I switch to Facebook? A wallpaper for Kaws?
Now that my lover has left me for a handsome Ugandan...?"
But has luck would have it, before he reached Forty,
A wondrous transformation finally occurred,
His hair grew back, no longer the CAD nerd,
His breath smelled of peppermint, and not roccaforte...
The moral here, my friends, is somewhat complex,
(Sensitive minds might fail at a task so demanding)
Erogenous zones in the Mac GUI notwithstanding -
Photoshop should never be a substitute for sex!

could as well be named "The Ballad of the Abundant Otis"
..and you're right, "My libido must warrant a more tempestuous applause", indeed.
...now you got me waiting in front of the mirror to hopefully watch my hair grow back soon.
16 days to go and i can't even taste a distant hint of pepermint, yet.
you also got me wondering: is the parched lotus lying on the floor? why else would anybody refer to my ass as being cute? i mean, do i sketch my skins crouching on the floor with my ass lifted up high in the sky?
perhaps i should try that one day.
excellent ballad, dude.
i feel deeply flattered and also a bit concerned.
according to "Sensitive minds might fail at a task so demanding" i'm tempted to say:
....."what did you say the moral was?"
thanks a lot, DUDE!

Respekt, mein Lieber!
Mit dem Skin hast du genau meinen Geschmack getroffen. Besonders angetan haben es mir auch die kleinen "Partykugeln" links neben der Zeitanzeige.
Das einzige, was ich mir unter Umständen wünschen würde, wären einige Farbvariationen (blau, grau, rot)
Anfangs sah es etwas ungewohnt aus, dass alle meine Cover jetzt einen kleinen Grünstich haben, aber mittlerweile finde ich das richtig cool.
Ich muss die Tage mal einen Screenshot von meinem Desktop anfertigen und hier hochladen.
Ach ja: Ich sollte dich da noch an eine gewisse Wallpaper-Variation erinnern
Halt die Ohren steif, mein Freund!
Bevor ich's vergesse:

Partykugeln find ich ja geil.
das mit dem grünstich hab ich ehrlich gesagt gar nicht so wahrgenommen.
schätze hier kommt meine rot-grün-sehschwäche voll zum tragen.
es ist komisch. ist das bei dem normalen Abandon Otis skin auch so gewesen?
denn eigentlich habe ich nur den gleichen ebenenstil von dort in diesem skin auch angewendet.
wallpaper kommen noch.
habs nicht vergessen.
vielen dank für deinen
..und ich freu mich das dir auch dieser skin von mir gefällt, mein freund.

Der Grünstich fällt eigentlich nur bei sehr dunklen (oder sehr hellen
Aber wie gesagt, mir gefällt's

you can't be serious.

I'm using AIMP2 player [link] , which has great sound and works on BASS Dll's. CAD is only for Winamp, yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
here's what the CAD homepage says:
Supported Players:
"...CD Art Display fully works with AlbumPlayer, Helium Music Manager, iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player, MediaMonkey and partially supports qmp, MP3Toys, musikCube and foobar2000 (Winamp API Emulator plugin)..."
and it even supports AIMP2.
on first install (or later in CAD options) you'd have to choose winamp as your player and then browse for the "aimp2.exe" manually.
save your changes and from now on CAD will work with your AIMP2.

Thank you, Otis. I did not know that it supports AIMP2 player. I'll try. But, I have one question, when I want to open CAD, should I open the player first or there is no need to open the player?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there's an option in CAD where you can set it to autostart when your player is started.
or was it the player to autostart with CAD?
i'm not quite sure, actually.
i guess you'd have to try it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, Otis. Definitely, I will try it.

ja genau, ~Thoomii hat das schon richtig erkannt!
k, Skin lad ich mir runter, schau ich mir an...
Aber ich denke, dass ich schon insofern sagen kann, das es wie immer nah an der perfektion ist.
Hab ja nun auch schon mit dir gearbeitet und von daher ist mir deine penible Herangehensweise vertraut! *HARHAR*
Und wieder einmal ist auch das preview mehr als herausragend, wobei du darauf achten solltest nicht allzu endgeile previews anzufertigen, denn sonst verschwinden die Skins noch darin.
Aber gut, mal Spaß beiseite:
Gute Arbeit und sehr interessant, was eine einzige .psd-file hergeben kann. 4 skins and counting!
P.S.: Den Schnitzer mit der ungeblurrten reflection kann man vernachlässigen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wie ich schon zu ~Thoomii sagte:
"...dir ist aber schon klar, dass der skin komplett schwarz und zu 80% transparent ist, oder?
wenn er im preview nicht so toll aussieht, dann liegt das wohl an dem durchscheinenden hintergrund.
ein anderer wallpaper und schon sieht der skin ganz anders aus."
wenn ich also schon als penibel gelte *HöHö*, dann möchte ich doch bitten den skin erstmal runterzuladen, zu testen und dann was dazu zu schreiben.
das mit den previews wird schwierig.
es macht mir zur zeit grossen spass an den previews zu schrauben.
mal sehen, ob ich mich zurück halten kann.
...und noch ganz nebenbei...
...die reflection ist blurry.
zum holz hin wird sie nur immer schärfer.
wie dem auch sei,..
...vielen dank für dein tolles feedback.
freu mich, dass dir wieder eins meiner werke gefällt.

scheint so als hätte ich es mit meinen witzen übertrieben... sry!
