filterpanel covers both the thumb browser and column browser.
Recently i added an override just for column browser which will get used for the column browser as first preference. If its missing then filter panel is used. And if thats missing then child panel will be used

Ah thnx. The thumb browser kinda ducked my radar.
I couldn't just now even figure out why the thumbnail browser didn't show at all in my setup, even while it was placed correctly in the config panel.
After some investigating I noticed it was disabled for the current tab.

That setting is kind off hidden by the way.
Maybe it would be a better option to instead of collapsing those settings out of view as it is now, to have them showing always, but in some 'disabled' coloring when inactive?

Where do these header titles and check ticks get there color from?
(In all skins I checked they are a variation of grey)
If there are no elements for them, can they be added?
the header is auto-generated
i have added::
Menu.Header bg= fg=
for the tick box, i will change it to use the recently included "Menu.DropDownCheckBoxImage" value

the expected behavior is when the thumb or column browser are hidden for a tab, that panel of settings should show, so i am not sure why it wouldnt have shown in your case

I'll try to keep an eye on it, and see if I can perhaps replicate it.

Did this get overlooked? 

At the bottom of the Tag Editor there are left and right arrows in the lower left corner and "save" and "close" buttons in the lower right.
I have determined that they are both the same element (Controls.Button.Highlight) but changing the highlight fg and bdr only changes the text and border in the save and close buttons.  While the bdr does indeed change for the left and right arrows, the fg color doesn't.  Is this intentional?  Can we get an override?  Or a new element?
Download the latest MusicBee v3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Thnx, do you also happen to know the required pixel size?

I don't think there is any preferred size. MB scales the picture up and down to suit various size thumbnails.

I've found that 200 to 250 px square gives good definition for all the situations.

I would like to request overrides for the synchronization node.
Currently the vertical menu gets its values from preferences, but it would be nice if it could be configured separately.
Also would be good to have alternating row colors for the sync progress section.

A possible bug with the left panel foreground highlight or lowlight color (Panel.Body.Highlight or Panel.Body.Lowlight).

When I drag and drop tracks to a playlist in the left panel, that particular playlist node becomes stuck on the highlight foreground color, even if I navigate away from it. Since I'm trying to only use foreground colors to show the currently selected node, this makes it confusing to tell which node is the active one. In the above screenshot you can see "Podcasts" is open, but the "Favorites" playlist is still highlighted.
