Can I be cheeky and ask if it would at all be possible for you to post the light version you posted screen shots of in the Concepts thread? That is beautiful and I ? light themes.
Working on it, but I'm not sure about the color layout yet.
Maybe one of these:

Ohhh, number 5 is very similar to 2.5 version of theme (which I currently use and love). So that would obviously be a good choice, although I reckon if you wanted to do something different and make it stand out from the previous version option 4 gives the best overall look for those who have their player at the top (me) and those who have their player at the bottom. Whereas the others tend to be best for only either top or bottom... If that makes any sense? Although a combination of 2 bottom, and 3/4 top would be best.
I was really rather enamoured by the design of this ->

Edit: I re-thought out my decision.
