-

yeah this looks good and i can see the ratings clearly. but i think the file,edit,view tab options should come in the second tab after the logo. Its fine this way too but the former would be better like all other software applications
-
Could someone edit the skin to give the repeat and shuffle buttons more contrast when enabled?
For example:

Hi - love the colour scheme on this skin, agree with the below comment about contrast.
I would use this all the time except I don't like the top bar being so much thicker than in the other skins, takes up unnecessary space on my limited screen.
Is it possible to change it back to the default, like the Blue skin?
-
is you use the link just above, it should have the menu merged with the title bar
-
Thanks, Steven.
While I've got you here, has anyone ever request Americanized spelling as an option or default?
No offense intended, but it looks odd - even to my Canadian eyes... (ie Customised vs Customized, etc.)
thanks again

maybe when i come to do the support for translations a US-English translation could be done ;)

Here is an updated version with higher contrast on the shuffle/repeat buttons.
Without knowing much about the skinning code, it looks difficult (impossible?) currently to make these different colors than the player control buttons, so they are just more contrasting shades of grey, not blue like the pic above.

Working fantastically now, looks great.
I used to use WinAmp, but it was never as easy and logical or good-looking as MusicBee has become. I will definitely donate to the cause.
Just don't ever let it become corporate...
;)
Thank you!

whoever next updates this skin could the 3rd setting be changed as follows:
<element id="TitlebarInactiveForeColour" bg="255,255,255" />
when MB loses focus the current setting blanks out the MusicBee text
-
i've updated the skin as john6555 requested
http://www.mediafire.com/file/haq9761a7353i38/GrooveBee.xml
but you need a new version of MusicBee for some of the settings

Very nice!
-
I love it! Just think the min/max/close buttons don't match the skin. But it's great! :D
-
i've changed the buttons to be more consistent with the skin

you will also need the latest beta from the downloads topic on this forum (1.2.3915+)
-
Hey can you please change the font color of the main panel and now playing panel from gray to black (or tell me what to change in the xml skin file)?? I think black font will definitely look better.
-
Hey Nikhil,
Find:
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Default" bg="255,255,255" fg="102,102,102" />
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default" bg="238,238,238" fg="102,102,102" />
Replace:
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Default" bg="255,255,255" fg="0,0,0" />
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default" bg="238,238,238" fg="0,0,0" />
-
Nikhil, please share the results if you think it looks better
-
Thanks a lot Rotem K. :) I think the black font makes it more readable.
@ Steven.. should i just copy paste the whole xml code here??
-
hey n is there any way to make the title bar aero transparent.. like firefox 4 title bar??

Find the setting elements:
<settings>
<element id="UseNativeButtonTheme">true</element>
<element id="UseSystemColors">false</element>
</settings>
and add this line:
<element id="DisableWindowBorders">true</element>
For sharing, upload the xml file to http://www.mediafire.com/ and post the link.

Thanks for the quick reply, but what i meant was that is it possible to keep the tile bar and menu bar merged and then have aero transparency (similar to firefox 4 or google chrome, where title bar and tab bar are merged into 1)

Oh. not right now. Steven is always adding new abilities for skinning so maybe in the future.
-
Yeah, it would be absolutely brilliant if transparency was added, imagine the skinning possibilities! :D
