I was checking how to skin the CtB catcher but I found rather inconvenient that plate is not aside from the fruit-catcher files.

Since the 2.3v of skinning, ryuuta has now become fruit-catcher and it also has 3 different views, idle, kiai and fail, yet there is no file for plate (I think it was before?), I believe every CtB player has their fruit-catchers holding the plate with their head or lifting it arms up and there is nothing more over it.

So what I propose is it added a file that is fruit-plate, which is actually the file that has the attributes of the actual fruit-catcher, and the fruit-catcher files are centered of the fruit-plate file, so it can be stretch or shrink with fruit-plate.

fruit-catcher must be below of all elements and fruit-plate over all elements, so things doesn't end up like:


Would be awesome to see fruit-catchers like this:

A nice idea, I don't use skins but this might look good.
Though I'm not sure about the idea of moving the plate to different places, like making it higher/lower. (Unless I misunderstood your idea.)

I'm not sure if it's possible, but can't you add some transparency ontop of the plate to move it more down? Or does it align the bottom of the image with the top of the catcher?

Of course it would have transparency, the attributes of the actual fruit-catcher is that must be at least 256px width, it can has as much height you want, but it will only show the top, also it has to be separated by 18px from the top so the combo color glows doesn't show on top of the fruit-catcher sprite, that's the transparency on top the plate you mean :P.

Of course, the smaller the circles, the more height of the fruit-catcher will be shown, but if it over 256px width (Ex: 320px) it will be shrink to 256px.

If the fruit-plate is added it will have the same attributes of the actual fruit-catcher and the fruit-catcher will become a sprite on the background, so fruits are over it, and plate are over fruits and fruit-catcher.

To make work the fruit-catcher properly it attributes has to be centered of the fruit-plate (You know, the center of it is where the plate will be) so things like this are seen correctly, of course that last pic need to be stretched and place the plate just in the middle of the whole pic.

If you are a good skinner you will know how to make these stuff that you want to overlay the plate :P
