There are 8 different skins here:
DoBee | Go Green | BeachBee | Nacho | Chocolate | Mellow Yellow II  | Iron Pyrite | Purple

Sometimes small changes are made without a official posting of it..use the notify if you'd like to be updated on any changes.

***********************************************

The DoBee skin uses the color scheme from the famous soft drink.
I'll get more screenshots but this gives a idea. You can try it out here is the skin file link.

**special thanks to VX and Rotem for the help..much appreciated**

04-27-2011 Made some improvements to the Main Player and also some minor fixes and updates.

Did you know?
Mountain Dew was originally marketed as "zero proof moonshine" and had pictures of hillbillies on the bottle until 1973.

The Green plastic bottle was used because the promoters were afraid that the neon lime/yellow color would remind people of urine.

Mountain Dew owns a record company called Green Label Sound and you can download FREE songs here:

Grandpa Jones loves the dew. !

Wow  :o I'm really impressed. I've never seen such a fresh skin :D Great work ! Thanks  :)

Things that could be improved:
1. The name is misleading: the skin is called Dew Bee, whereas on the splash screen and on the forum it's called "Mountain Dew Bee";
2. Sentences at the splash screen (really cool  :D) should be written in bold;
3. When I launched help file (?) from the tag Editor the bar to scroll up and down is light blue - it could be green if it's skinable;
4. Rating stars in Player Control Panel at the bottom when the track is not rated should be gray not green, because yellow stars doesn't seem to look good at the red background of Player Control Panel. Greens stars are used to rate tracks in Now Playing and Main Panel, so maybe it would be consistent to use green stars to rate a track in Player Control Panel at the bottom as well ???

Thanx VX for commenting.
1. I changed the name as you mentioned
2. That wasn't the splash screen I had on before..was a mistake .
3 Hmm I couldn't find that. I'll keep looking to find that and change it.
4. I have the ratings stars ok in both main panel and tag edit.. I can't seem to change them in the player,  but will when I can.

And Ha Ha..were you being nice calling it "Fresh"    ;D
It certainly is different.  :o

Hey well done. Not my colour choice but I can appreciate the work you put in.
I've been looking at the skinning potential for MB myself; I hope I can be half as creative as you have been  :)

As far as the name, the Mountain Dew name and logo (at the splash screen) are registered trademarks and mustn't be distributed without written permission.
I'm not a lawyer, but the current name is risky I'm afraid. I suggest you to change the name and logo as well. What about:

A. Mountain Breeze  ???

B. Breezy Bee  ;)  ???

As far as the third, the scrolling bar in Music Bee help file becomes light blue when you hit it. It behaves the same in all other skins, so I think this is not skinable.

One more thing, the buttons in tag editor [...] RGB(255,245,174) should be a slightly darker to contrast better with the field background RGB(251,253,236). Maybe paint it RGB(112,163,142) and make the spots RGB(255,245,174) ???

BTW, I've clarified comment no. 4 in my first post in the topic.

I've found small bug in the skin:

<!-- 99-->  <element id="MiniPlayer.StarRating.Default" bg="230,230,230" fg="220,234,276"/> - the last blue value 276 should be equal or lower than 255 and higher than 0.

Sarge, I hope you manage to fix the issues and the skin will be included in one of the next MB major updates.  :)

Hey VX.

I fixed the issues you described ^
I renamed the skin to 'DoBee'
I changed the splash screen.
And I love a ice cold Mountain Dew on a hot day.  :)

Thanx Jackuars and TurboMad for the comments. Music and Colors are alike in the way they change with moods.

Maybe I'll do a Beer Bee next...cuz I like Beer also.  ;D

Sarge, thank you very much for the improvements.  :) I'm not critical to distress you. On the contrary, I like your great skin and want it to be included with MB installer so that others could enjoy it  :D
To win new users over MB the skins must be vary  :)

Please, do fix the last bug (276). If you think it's not a bug do the following:

1. Minimize MB to mini player view;
2. When in mini player view rate one of now playing songs;
3. Open MB Error log and you'll see the following: 2011-02-19 23:11:57 - Unable to load element: MiniPlayer.StarRating.Default - Warto?? „276” nie jest prawid?ow? warto?ci? dla elementu „blue”. Warto?? „blue” powinna by? wi?ksza ni? lub równa 0 i mniejsza ni? lub równa 255.
(In English it means what I've written above).
I've got about 20 such errors since yesterday  :(

Indeed, when you hover the pointer over the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons black pixels bars remain under the buttons. Please, fix it.

Again, I'd like to express my gladness that Skinners cooperate and help each other for the sake of users. Thanks  :)
