Which GTK theme are you using with it, or which GTK theme would you recommend to use with it?

I'm using "QtCurve" with own Color-settings tending to Mac-style. It's
highly customizable!

This is a beautiful theme; I've run it on several installs of different distros, and on both KDE and Gnome. I always try out different themes and iconsets to try to get that perfect look for my system but always come back to this for XMMS and now Audacious.
Excellent work.

I have seen the screen shots and I think I could be hooked too.
Would you mind giving me a step by step 'HOW TO INSTALL'. If not could you tell me where I might find installation instructions?

Strange! Go into settings, select another "Output-plugin" and restart XMMS.
If it doesn't helps, install "audacious" - that's the same like xmms.
And -----
don't forget to install the VU-meter, it's magic !!!

Hello Brian

To install the Vumeter-plugin You need more rights as a normal user has.
On Ubuntu You can install it with following commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
A detailed instruction You can find under:

Thx for Your interest

ok i got it installed, but when I enable it in xmms, it goes unenabled right away.. what am I doing wrong? I have been messin with this for like 5 hours. for a stupid vu meter. god it looks so cool though.

ottlux

It's difficult to find out, what goes wrong in Your case. It' seems that the Plugin
finds no Skins. Check whether You have made the directory:
" /home/~/.xmms/VU_Meter_skins/ "
and copy the VUmeter-Skins of the Plugin into that directory.
Check if the directory and the Files are readable for all users.

When the problem exists further, I suggest to check whether You
have installed the actual XMMS-Player (1.2.10) or the actual VUmeter-Plugin (0.9.2)
Go again step by step through my Installation-guidance for the plugin on
(http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=49127) and have also a look
on other sides with explanations how to install the plugin:

Thanks for Your interest and I hope that will help You.

One of the name of the skin directory in VU_meter_skins must be "default" :)

VU_Meter_skins/default

All the installed programs. Gets automatically in your home directory. /home/<your user name>/

In this case for XMMS it gets installed in /home/username/.xmms (hidden directory)

Go to Nautilus/filebrowser. And press CTRL + H to view the hidden dirs. And do it again to hide them again.

Every thing of XMMS goes: plugins in the "Plugins" dir and skins in the "Skins" dir
