Ukiyo-e Scroll for CD Art Display

Today (May 17) is my birthday number 32 and in this special day i bring
for all of you my latest skin, based in a concept talked-over with AerialSKY,
my Indonesian friend and brother of blood in the CAD Group.
He gave me the initial idea and i bring it to life in graphics.
_{(we made it buddy!)}

Ok, this skin got 10 different Styles, the difference is the toolbar, each
style got a Crest or Emblem called mon and each one represents a
japanese family from ancient times. Is for me an honour to do this
kind of work using such great emblems as Toolbars for this project.


<sub>The 10 mon belongs to this families:

Kii
Matsumae
Mitu
Naito
Oda
Satomi
Shimazu
Takeda
Tokugawa
Ujiie</sub>

Also, each Style got a different geisha image in ukiyo-e style
as a no cover.

The Panel, oh my god, ...hard work but i'm happy with the result.
I'd try to remove some intercalated images to make it more light
but it's not the same, the scroll must open slowly and patiently, like
everything in the japanese culture, design, quality, beauty... ahhh !
When i start to investigate the differents mon and start to download
many huge images with hundreds of them i was sure that after that
moment i couldn't just use only one mon, i'd to stop myself in the
mon for toolbar style number 10.

The ProgressBIRD... i mean the Progressbar... hey, is AerialSKY's idea
this name, don't blame me ! ...well the idea came fast and the bamboo
was already there as background, so it was fun and quick to be done !
At first i want it to put many more images, but i like that the bird moves
more slowly and not very fast, so i decide to make less than 30 images.

About the Rating System, i guess that this is the first time that i do this
kind of rating, instead of make the normal 5 stars or leds or whatever.
I'd made like 3 different styles, but the last one was the one that
prevail on. The idea was to make a japanese seal style with the kanji
words instead of using the numbers, my kanji "TAI" is the No Rating.

The Effect, well, averybody knows that i'm a fan of the effect in CAD,
but in this case i want it to make a picture viewer with it, so i took many
different ukiyo-e images from the web and i set the Frame Interval in the
maximum time, wich is 2 seconds, but that is too short to view a beautiful
ukiyo-e image, so i duplicate each image 5 times, so now we got 10 sec.
to appreciate this awesome images from different japanese artist from
the Floating World. In total are 39 different pictures, again i'd to stop there.
You can see them if you just press Pause on a song.

The scroll button for the lyrics is a japanese phrase, it means:
"A pure heart is your true dojo"
Is a kanji made by my dear friend Lady Kisaragi Chiyo and used with her
personal approval, thank Chiyo, AerialSKY and i are both grateful !
I know that when you click on it this one scroll down quick the lyric, but
i didn't want it to change it, for the overall look that the kanji gives.

The bamboo on the background is a photo taken by Meepers369,
i'd search many bamboo images (this one is not ukiyo-e style, this is
sumi-e style, very different and much more simple, like an haiku) but
at the end i stop and choose this one.

The white texture (with soft gray lines) was self-created by me and the
other one bigger on the back i don't know who is the owner, but is not mine.

I hope that the preview fits with the skin style, i'm hurry to upload it
in the first hours of my birthday, so i made it fast.
Well, as far as i remember this is it, if you got a question about it just
ask me and i'll answer.
