Description

Elixir: e·lix·ir /ɪˈlɪksər/[i-lik-ser] – noun
.: philosopher's stone: a hypothetical substance that the alchemists believed to be capable of changing base metals into gold
.: a substance believed to cure all ills

First of Meizu M6 is a mp3 player. Check it out at [link] If you do have one then download the resource file and install it to check it out. If you do that then remember to rename the file to resource.bin

This concept was first visualized as a website but since I have been way to busy to work on my site, I decided to make it into a Meizu skin thinking that it will be less work. It turned out to be almost as complicated as making a flash based website.
I have already spent over 10 hours with this skin and it seems like I still have much more to do. With that said though, I have the basic design done which includes the background and most of the icons. I do have to tweak them because the icons show that purplish colour around the edges of the texts. If anyone has a solution to that please let me know.
Furthermore, I would like to change the calculator layout and other little icons such as the play, stop, etc.

Overall, I thought that I have done a decent job. Although I did make skins for winamp but this is something entirely new to me.
Please leave a comment if you use it and any changes you wish to suggest. I will take all of them to consideration at least.

So the idea of this design, those of you are wondering, stems from the background entirely. I wanted to show Elixir (as in eternal life) to be colourful and vibrant. So in order to keep the background dominant I have chosen to make everything else minimalistic. Therefore, I only used a white 1pixil rectangle to show progress of a song and such. I would however, like to keep my icons which only state abbreviated forms of them in plain text (if this doesn't make sense, then use my skin and you will know what I am talking about), but without the purplish haze around them. Please let me know if you have any suggestions to solve this dilemma.

I, Tamrin Khan, hereby give permission to everyone and anyone to use my skin as they please as long as they do not use it for any kind of racial or other hate based deeds. I would also require credit for the original work in some form. Thanks.

I have had my Meizu for a while now and always wanted to make a skin, but never got around it. Although, NDee (from meizume.com) makes superb skins, I was enticed to make my own. So here it is without further delay. Hope you like it.
