keeps getting better and better :)Thanks much.
would never have thought to combine alternating rows with the item separator, but it works very well on thisIn all honesty that must be by accident because I don't know what you're referring to. I mean I know what the alternating rows are but the only MB item separator I'm aware of is the semi-colon.

Again, thanks. That means a lot to me, especially coming from you.In all honesty that must be by accident because I don't know what you're referring to. I mean I know what the alternating rows are but the only MB item separator I'm aware of is the semi-colon.
Must be serendipity then, cause I think it looks great.
<element id="Content[AlbumAndTracks].ItemSeparatorLine" fg="238,238,238" /> (lines 84 and 104)Ahhh ... -that- item separator. Well, we need to thank hiccup (jistme) for that as it must've been in his Jistme on the Outlook, which I ripped off to create this. And I never touched that element. Although his skin doesn't use the alternating bars. So I really don't know where that element came from.
gives the pale blue line under each row.
a few suggestions (if I may) :)Always. Yes. Please.
take advantage of the new elementGreat idea. I've never used grouping too much before, but I've been playing around with it recently and this line change really makes a difference.
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].HeaderLine" bg="xxx,xxx,xxx" />
to replace the grey MB generated line (when using grouping in Tracks view) with a blue one
IMHO the white border of the scrollbar thumbs now looks out-of-place with the loss of the other white elements. You might try a darker border.Nice find. I completely overlooked the white there.
I'm still undecided on the change.I don't really think it was in-your-face before, but this is definitely more subtle. Which is what I'm after. I found the white separator line somewhat distracting today, which is what prompted the change.
Don't get me wrong, it's still good. This is just more laid back and subdued, where the other version was bright, cheerful and in-your-face.
I'm still undecided on the change.
I knew you'd come around. :-)I'm still undecided on the change.
Really liking this latest tweak :)
I would suggestSince my 'usual' layout doesn't include either of these two, I had overlooked them when modifying this skin. Thanks for pointing them out. The spectrum visualiser is now updated as are the tabs in the caption bar.
<element id="Player.SpectrumVisualiser" bg="205,220,237" bg2="246,248,254" fg="145,171,201" fg2="205,220,237" bdr="145,171,201" />
to subdue the whitish background a bit
And with the plan to minimize white tones, don't forget the tabs when in caption bar too!
However, I now need help with two more elements:
- When I show tabs bar in the caption bar the panel configuration button stays white. With the tabs bar below, it's blue. Where does that element live?
<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Default" fg="" />
<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Disabled" fg="" />- When I show tabs bar in the caption bar the panel configuration button stays white. With the tabs bar below, it's blue. Where does that element live?besides the ones Alumni has already posted, you also have
the one for caption bar line is
- I have what I'm pretty sure is TabsBar.JoinLine looking as I want when the tab bar is below the caption bar, but can't find what will change that line with the tabs bar in the caption bar.
These should do the trick.They did indeed. Thanks.Code<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Default" fg="" />
<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Disabled" fg="" />
No wonder I couldn't figure this out for myself - I didn't have them in the XML. Thanks.- When I show tabs bar in the caption bar the panel configuration button stays white. With the tabs bar below, it's blue. Where does that element live?besides the ones Alumni has already posted, you also have
<element id="CaptionBar.CommandButtonOverride" bg="XXXX" fg="XXX" />
<element id="CaptionBar.CommandIconOverride" fg="XXXX" />
for the toolbar buttons and icons to matchthe one for caption bar line is
- I have what I'm pretty sure is TabsBar.JoinLine looking as I want when the tab bar is below the caption bar, but can't find what will change that line with the tabs bar in the caption bar.
<element id="TabsBar.TabInCaptionBar.BorderLine" bdr="XXX" />
Would you be kind enough to point me to the correct spots in the xml to do this edit job? My age-ed eye-balls could use the extra contrast :) . If my description above is confusing I'd be happy to do some screenshots.Ahhh ... if only lit was that simple. Well --- actually it is simple. For someone who really knows what they're doing with skins.
I was able to darken the blue text on the tabs and ...Looks good.
