I'm having the same problem with the contrast setting for the new subheading as I have for the album details in this view - when I change the contrast, the text gets darker rather than lighter (sort of like the default black text is showing through, rather than the background color of the skin).
if you are refering only to when you use the skin override element, then that is fixed for the next v2.2 update. In the interim if you set the bg attribute of that element to the same colour as the background it should work
This was fixed perfectly for the subheader, but the album info still does not respond to contrast settings in "customize panel settings".
The main reason I was looking through this thread again was to refresh my memory on the discussion about gaps. I'm still not clear if there was a firm outcome, so please forgive me if this has already been decided against.
Basically, I'm hoping the number of blank lines at the end of a grouping can be reduced by 1. In the current situation, when going from a track with a subheader to one without you get this:
Track 1
Subheader
Track 2
<blank line>
Track 3
If you check the option to put a blank line before the subheader, you get this:
Track 1
<blank line>
Subheader
Track 2
<blank line>
<blank line>
Track 3
What I'm asking for would mean that if there's no gap before the subheader, there's also no gap if the subheader goes away, whereas checking the blank line option creates only one line above and below. There should still be a gap in cases of disc change, regardless of whether there's a subheader or not.
