The shadows were inverted, was able to redo them making shadows darker and maintaining the colours of metro
I'm looking for a better DJ button, i'm currently testing this but find it too thin.
The source of my current button is this:

When have the definitive dj button will update all the themes

Changed the Auto-Dj icon once again, now trying with an atom. I think Itunes uses it for something similar to Auto-Dj
My Shuffle_Auto_Dj image:

Created a new skin with the red from metro

Updated, link in the first post with the following changes:
Elements selected in main view now use the metro color but darker. It was too bright the first time i used it.
The hard work this time went for the miniplayer which was fully edited, now is in flat white background, with the metrocolor in progressbar and highlited buttons
Now playing icon in base64 brighter for miniplayer

I love these skins but I really don't like the player bar, it's quite hard to read and looks like it's from a separate skin. I appreciate the work that has gone in to these but I the player could do with a rework in my opinion.

I like these skins, but why don't you make it dependent skins like the Dark-Variations by Greb  ???
It would be easier to maintain and distribute this way.

Thanks, these are compiled skins with bitmaps specially done for each skin, the buttons are not simply changed with a color code in an xml

===== Since this version the customized player controls were removed, becoming a non bitmap compiled skin .xmlc ======

Moving to plain source xml without customized player controls. Take a look to these sources, they are the easiest to modify for creating your own dark theme.
They are the same, only changes three (really two) values for the selected elements

Tabs change to adapt to the player control or to the header:
