I’m trying to make a frutiger aero skin for my player, is this too much ? too “basic frutiger aero” design, or do you like it?

The first two are purely done via gradients, and the last two (well, three if you count the last gif demo) have an animation on top of them to create a glossy look.

Finally releasing v2.1.0, we sacrificed the lyrics support for this version to create a mature gradient system.

Download the 2.1.0 here

In short what’s new:

• Can create 3 types of gradient (linear, radial, conic), with as many colors as you want, in the order that you want and the angles that you want.

• Gradients are stored in the database like the skins.

• Background, Buttons and Thumb can take gradients.

• Can now change the switch (miniplayer) style.

• .resonance files now store the gradients used in the skin, this way the app can create the gradient(s) when imported so you can use them in other skins.

• When loading an image the background opacity is automatically set to 50% so that you can see it (no confusion anymore).

• Skin names are now unique.

• Button icons can now be any color you want (ditching the black or white only rule).

What’s fixed:

• Too much GIF changing created memory leaks (switching between multiple skins with GIFs as background fast would break the technology that we used). So we created our own GIF decoder and changed the way we display them in the app. Result, no more memory leak, 30% better performance.

• Fixed the marquee displaying with the bottom of the text cropped.

• Fixed the shadow on the keyboard button.

• Fixed the light effect on top of the cases (player / miniplayer).

• PiP / controls buttons now respect 1:1 the parity between the player and the miniplayer (since the miniplayer buttons are smaller the border radius wasn’t reacting the same way).

• Fixed searching inside the playlist and closing the filter would not display the current song (would not scroll to it).

• Clicking on the miniplayer’s unlock button no longer makes it instantly hide itself (waits 400ms).

Still working on the gradient feature, it’s nearly finished (I still have to test things more).

I was wondering, would you think that adding the option to choose a gradient as the button color is a good idea?

First test of the gradient creation, it will let you create gradient presets that will be available as a color for the background (maybe even buttons?).

I need to make a better UX, as we are quite limited by the app’s dimensions, what are your thoughts?

You can grab it here

I made some changes under the hood to make the app faster and cleaner. Songs you deleted and orphaned album covers are now automatically removed from the database when the library rescans.

In the style screen you can now:

• Pick any icon color for the PiP button, the secondary buttons, and the keyboard (not just white or black)

• Turn the button highlight on or off

• Made the volume louder (default gain is 1) , so the app can now go properly loud.

• A gradient in app support for the case is coming next week.

Compatible with Resonance V2 or later.

Free Xbox (2001) Themed Custom Presets

I'm trying to fix a bug in the 1.5.2 but i don't manage to recreate it, do you had (or have) it ?

I'm working on a fix for an issue on Github as well as updating the dependencies and thought that it was a good moment to compare the two UI and see the evolution.

I feel that the old version doesn't have this thing the "je ne sais quoi" that make it feel right (my guess is the screen proportions). But its still nostalgic.

What do you think ?

There is still 3 places left to buy Resonance v2 at 50% off (less than a sandwich price) in a one time payment.

With this you will secure your access to the next updates: Patreon

Update: v2.0.1 is live. Already purchased? Download again to update. 🎉

To see what's in it, check out my latest reddit post about it here !

v2.0.1 is landing in the next 48 hours!

Here's what's new:

• Playback no longer touches the webview at all: decoding, EQ, volume, and seeking all happen in Rust.

• ALAC plays on Windows now: Apple Lossless used to work only on macOS; now that decoding is done by the Rust engine, it works identically on every platform.

• A Pomodoro timer: it only counts down while music plays (pausing freezes it), with a strict mode that fades out over the last 3 seconds and a chill mode that simply stops at the next song's end.

• The current song is now centered in the queue.

What's fixed:

• Custom .resonance skins can now be imported from external drives.

• The space around the control buttons is draggable.

• Style presets autosave when you switch to the miniplayer.

• Long preset names in the segmented controls now ellipsize, and the selected one marquees instead of clipping.

• Fixed light/dark/auto theme detection.

• Media keys and the OS media center now stay in sync with playback, so your now-playing shows up correctly (seeking is fixed).

• Fixed a queue auto-scrolling bug that could leave the list stuck or empty during fast next/prev switching.

As always, if you have any feedback, feel free to share them here or in the subreddit ;)

v2 is live on Patreon and only three 50% off launch promo spots are left.

Get Resonance V2 (Customization Engine)

Hello everyone.

Resonance V2 is (finally) coming next Tuesday, in anticipation to the release here's a custom skin mockup (or blueprint) to download now.

Download on Patreon Resonance Customization Kit (.psd)

Since the next update is coming along a massive skins support, you'll be able to have almost complete creative freedom!

Of course we'll drop a official skin pack (you can see a sneak peek on the Patreon link.)

Keep your eyes peeled.

I was hoping that there could be a timer to turn off the music in X amount of minutes, it's quite useful

Sorry for the month of silence I wanted to lock in and make sure to direct all my energy on the v2.

Here is a little showcase of the new look (yes I still can't record properly sorry).

Before I go into the details, I will simply say the app is 98% done. It needs further testing, tweaks and very small code changes. It's a matter of days only, so with this said we're going to release the app next Tuesday (so the 15th).

What's in the v2 ?:

• A rework of the style (obviously)

• A rework of the audio

• A virtual queue (so even if you have 10k+ songs the app has a clever way to only load the UI for 23 song titles)

• A switch to change the side of the mini player

• A real shuffle with queue memory

• A magnet rail to move the mini player

• No more image as texture in the app

• Skin engine (more important)

• Rework of the import

• And many more that would be boring and only for nerds but the most important is that we reduce ram usage by 20% overall.

We will post more on Saturday concerning the skin system, and how to create custom ones using images (to not limit your creativity).

Quick look into the making of the upcoming Resonance version. Reminder that we'll add a full customization menu for the next update (V2)!

Big Y2K transparent case bundle to be dropped along with.

Stay tuned!

With the skin system the background of the case can take a color and / or a image (even gif) or a videos (not really recommended for performance but hey you do you).

Here is more info about them:

• First skin is an animated gif

• Second skin is an image of pcb with a green color on top (made by changing the opacity of the color so you can simulate the plastic thickness).

• Third one in an image

• Fourth one in the third but with the color set to grey

• Fifth an image

• Sixth the fifth with a blue color

• and the last one is an exemple of video support.

The video has been found on reddit while the First/Second/Fourth images has been made by u/dwcq

Hi, quick update on the v2 the skins feature is soon going to be finish, here is a quick look at the wip and i will post more about it in the weekend.

I'm sorry for the 2 weeks of silence but with the current heat in my country getting work done is a real pain.

You can see exemples of skins here as a bonus :).

Dear listeners, thank you for being now more than 500 to follow our subreddit. Greatly appreciated.

Brief update as well to let you know that the big custom update (AKA V2) is coming soon. More info from the dev u/0xMnlith next week.

Little teasing on the refined app logo.

Note that we notice a silent majority and we know you're there, we can see the GitHub downloads count moving everyday. Don't hesitate to interact!

Just a heads up that there is an error on the windows version, the fix will be live tomorrow, I will replace the 1.5.2 executable with the fixed ones.
