Skin- and visual errors related to, and skinning requests for MusicBee v3

[Bee-liever]

a part of <element id="TabsBar.BorderLine" shows under the close button on the tag editor floating window

And TabsBar.TabInCaptionBar.BorderLine shows at the same place on preferences window.

would either you mind sending the skin in question as i cant reproduce this by applying that element

You can test with any of my 2.5 skins, like Pastels. But I only saw the latter, not the former.

My mistake - redwing is correct - it's the TabsBar.TabInCaptionBar.BorderLine in both cases
Can be seen in Bleached Bone

working on fixing Faded skin...

if toolbar is consolidated into one icon, when the icons/buttons are displayed the bg colour is taken from element id="Panel.Header.Default".
works fine if header bar and caption bar aren't to different, otherwise it's hard to find a bg colour that works fine for icons in caption/below caption bar.
even a problem in MusicBee3 default skin.


a caption bar override element for that background would be most helpful, please

EDIT:
was looking at some of the old elements and wondered if
element id="Panel.HeaderControl.Default
could be used to provide the alternate bg colour?

@Steven
Could you help me figure out this (small) problem?

I reported before about the caption bar on my skin being slightly discolored and you mentioned it might the result of "stretching" due to the font I'm using, however I just compared it to DarkRED which has the correct color and with the exact same font.

What else could I be missing?

you will need to post a screenshot

you will need to post a screenshot

Edit: Nevermind, I realized what I was doing wrong - turns out I saved the PNG with sRGB conversion and that changed the colors.

[Steven]

for the caption bar source image (if you are refering to the Coherant skin), every pixel is 21,21,21 ie. stretching it would make no difference anyway.
for the player bar source image, every pixel is 20,20,20 so again stretching will make no difference.
I'm really busy with addressing bugs for v3 so i cant really spend time helping you with this

backwards compatibility?
don't think it's a problem as it was usually a contrasting colour and most new skins, going forward, will probably only be for MB3 and later.

Has anyone else experienced difficulties with the back/forward and panel layout buttons?
It seems like MusicBee is adding a color mask to these buttons and I'm not sure how to override it.
With the light theme skin I'm working on they are barely visible - I circled them in these screenshots (they should be black).

When you mouse over the controls on the compact player when the wave bar is used the highlight uses the metro buttons highlight. Occurs when use metro button is both enabled and disabled. Version 3.0.5872. Windows 10.

PanelBackDisabled
PanelForwardDisabled
if those images are not supplied then MB gets the colours from:
Panel.HeaderButtonOverride.Disabled

False alarm. I found an error in the skin which was causing it.
