Look at the header of playing track info panel. The header for this panel is hidden but it leaves a band visible. Is it possible to solve this ?
Also, is it possible for you to create a version that has auto hide scrollbars. It changes colors on hover but I want it be completely hidden until hovered. Is it possible ?
Yes those lines are indeed visible
Notice the wave bar is not exactly in the middle of the background band and the track timers are overlapping the wave bar too.
Notice the track timers again, they appear at the place they don't suppose to. Also the volume slider and progress bar. Not sure if they are in the places intended.
The text of the tab is off too, not exactly in the center but a bit lower then what it's supposed to be.
That's odd. What version of MusicBee are you using?
(It looks like it doesn't handle the transparency the buttons are using correctly)
Do you have Windows scaling set to something else than 100%?
It is not possible to simply adjust the position of the wavebar itself without influencing other parts of the player panel.
I am not satisfied with it myself either but this is the best compromise I could come up with.
That's not something that can be adjusted by skinning.
I don't want to say it but it's quite unfortunate that Musicbee's UI capabilities doesn't match it's functionalities. I wish Steven had paid little attention on this.
Superb skin, just one issue, after proceeding to the download link the folder appears to be empty...

I'm sorry, not sure what happened.
The download should now work again.

Status bar is hardly readable that i need to squint my eyes to read it. Can we change it to another color?

This unfortunately doesn't show any notoicable change to the wavebar either, and that has all wavebar IDs I could find:Code<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I would love to have contextual colouring - ideal would be the more stars, the brighter, or even full colour changes...
But for starters, dimming down the thumbs down, and colouring stars differently from thumbs down would for quick visual readability for me (which I would prefer over a consistent look).
Is there a list/documentation of "element id=" your Elemental Skin uses, and which can be altered by ID ?
Done now & now I have blindness inducing yellow & reds...
Haha, please be kind to my delicate skin ;-)

</root>I can't find a Playlist Explorer panel explicitly mentioned in the sample xml... any idea how/where the Playlist Explorer panel bg setting would live ?Are you using a colour piker on the Sample Skin?
I've just 'wasted' an half hour scrolling up and down through the album photos reconnecting album covers with old memories :)
the dropdown menu does not have any visual checkboxes.

What location is this?
Docked tag editor? Floating tag editor, sidebar editor? Somewhere else maybe?
It's when you see "Mixed" in a tag and click the arrow to pick one or several.

Ah yes, I see what you mean.
I'll see if I can change it, but it might be a bit difficult because it shares the colour of similar elements at other locations.
And since it is a low contrast grey skin, and small deviations in brightness is pretty much the only thing I can toy with here, this might require a new colouring element that does not yet exist.
I'll see what I can figure out one of these days.
Updated.
- Fixed a bug when having the player bar on top and tabs in the caption bar.
- Added icons for drives and devices. (they will only display with MB 3.4 which is at the moment not yet available as a stable release)
@Johan_A_M,
The issue with the invisible check-boxes has not been fixed. I've put out a skinning feature request to make it possible to hopefully address this in the future.

This is now also fixed.
Thanks Johan_A_M for reporting.
(Note that this will only be fixed for MusicBee 3.4+ which is not yet available at this moment.)
