Hey Silas, looking really great! I have a few thoughts...1. Yes this can be tweaked :)

1. The grey in the column headers bar looks a little out of place. Is it possible to make it some shade of blue but still stand out sufficiently?
2. I think there needs to be a little more contrast on the command buttons to highlight them a little more.
3. (not shown) In artwork view the pale blue highlight around the selected picture is barely noticeable.
4. The last.fm button looks great but i'm not sure if its stands out too much with the red or black background. It doesn't quite match the feel of the other buttons next to it...
5. The menu's are all still grey, perhaps they should have blue backgrounds to match the skin?
6. The new tab and forward/back navigation buttons are maybe a little dark.
7. Are you planning on allowing skin windowless borders? What you have done currently in that it maximises space and still allows aerosnap is great but visually i'm just not too keen on it. Personally I have MB always maximised or minimised so love windowless borders.
Hope none of this seems like criticism, its not! The skin is already looking fantastic, i'm just nitpicking...
This is really coming on brilliantly! Well done ;)
As SimonBRT said, I think the grey column headers should be a shade of blue. Also, would the grey headers on the left navigation panel look better if they blended into the panel colour? The only other slight annoyance I also encountered when making my bitmap based skin was the fact that I could never get the shuffle and repeat buttons to line up properly vertically - or is it just my eyes? ;D I'm now using this as my primary skin atm, cheers!
first off i think what you have done is great but for my tastes the use of blue is now too much.I will need to tweak the library blue to something lighter blue. Wmp12 uses blue as primary color. Wmp11 uses black. Already planned on doeing a black version too
But colour preferences are a very personal thing and if you feel it is right then stick with it! Having a look WMP just now they make use of black. I dont know if that would work or not with your skin, but maybe worth trying out
just to be clear, i am just suggesting to try making the column headers black not the whole skinfirst off i think what you have done is great but for my tastes the use of blue is now too much.I will need to tweak the library blue to something lighter blue.

Fixed the highlight part and auto centered the current track name. Please give some feedback since it seems to have some rough edges

Can you please make it so that is uses the new "whole line" hightlight? Thanks
Also the colour of the love button when you select a track should not be red if the track is not loved... It's a bit misleading this way ::)
Someone has a good testimonial :P?Yes, I have. ))
Would you share it? :DSomeone has a good testimonial :P?Yes, I have. ))
Well done Silas :) I'm enjoying it!
First of all I have to thank you very much for this theme! I always loved musicbee but I liked how wmp looked much more, and now I can't even say it anymore and musicbee is the best of the best ;D
Anyway, I think the background of the artwork view should be light blue like the others view and not gray, which is a bit out of style with the rest of the skin. Also, I noticed that the play/pause button should bigger than the previous/next buttons, while is almost smaller, and that maybe the red of the lastfm icon is too outstanding and perharps it would look better if there was only the symbol of lastfm and not the whole square. In the end maybe the autodj icon should be smaller to fit best. They're only suggestions though :) Thank you for your hard work!
Your welcome :)
Artwork view grey? it is blue here :) Make a screenshot pointing this out please.
I know the Play/Pause buttons would be alot bigger indeed ... but i dont think it would look good due to the small player bar height
The Last.FM icon i made is either had or like :P sorry wont change that
AUTO DJ icon? you mean the shuffle etc button? it is the same afaik
Thank you very much, I'm looking forward to see it :DUpdated:

Silas, this WMP skin is wonderful! I am coming over from WMP and this makes me feel at home.
Is there anyway to have a sort by first letter separator line like in the art view of WMP?
My understanding is that the MB program does not allow it, but I would love to have that as an option.
Just thought I would ask since you have done such a great job channeling the WMP look on this skin and would know what I am speaking of.
Thanks again!

This is one of the best skins for MusicBee I've ever used. I've never used Windows Media Player but I like this skin for MB a lot.
Thanks for the update :)
Does anyone know how to enable the stop button in this skin? I know that it can be done, as another user showed that he did it. However, he never explained how he did it, and apparently may no longer be active on the site. The thread showing that someone did it can be found at the link below.
