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

[Bee-liever]

i have added "DownloadIndicatorIcon" and "NotificationIcon"

would it be possible to allow these items to also be .gif's
as they are not shown all the time, I thought a little movement would draw your eye to them when they are displayed

well the download indicator at least - I think the notification one already flashes when first displayed

When the menu bar is docked below the caption bar there is a small gap between the parent menu items and the drop down menus.

These elements appear to be working now:

  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].Default" bg="153,213,241" fg="0,0,0" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].Highlight" bg="82,83,176" fg="255,255,255" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].Lowlight" bg="27,160,225" fg="205,235,255" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].Disabled" fg="27,160,225" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Default" bg="153,213,241" fg="0,0,0" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].ListAlternating.Disabled" fg="27,160,225" />

These do not:

  <element id="NowPlayingList[TrackDetail].ListHeader" bg="27,160,225" fg="255,255,255" bdr="153,213,241" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList.ScrollBar" bg="27,160,225" />
  <element id="NowPlayingList.ScrollBarBackground" bg="153,213,241" bg2="177,222,243" />

A small request regarding tabs...

Tabs in the caption bar has its font set to a regular typeface when inactive, and bold when active. This is helpful because sometimes you might not want a highlight color, but you can still identify which tab is selected. With the regular tabs bar (below caption) however, all the tab headers are bold by default. I would appreciate a setting added to the skin xml to be able to change this behavior.

The elements

<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ItemSeparatorLine" fg="xxx,xxx,xxx"/>
<element id="Content[AlbumAndTracks].ItemSeparatorLine" fg="xxx,xxx,xxx"/>

are not working in 3.0.

Is this a bug? The formborder at the top of the window (titlebar) appears to be changing colors in some way.
I created a bitmap with a solid color (20,20,20), but after compiling the skin my eyedropper tool shows the color is actually 21,21,21.

the caption bar can be stretched depending on your font and i guess that might cause a slight change in colours

A couple visual glitches I noticed recently. No idea what causes them, hopefully this screenshot will help.

[Steven]

which skin is it, and if its your own could you upload it somewhere?

A new skin I'm working on, it uses the default skin as a base. https://app.box.com/s/nmgkb3vixtohaeqehekqcoe6mgwcnfo8

This looks like it might also be a glitch.

Restarting MusicBee with the following configuration; menu set as a button and tabs located in the caption bar - results in this selection box being visible (highlighted items in the drop down menu), although it wasn't present before restarting (after the layout was configured).

Before restart:



After restart:

these glitches you are reporting sound very much like you are using 0 alpha for your colours. Can you check that?

Do you mean blank color values in the xml file? I checked and filled those in, but I am still seeing random pixels directly above the column browser, or at least it shows up when I switch tabs.

About my previous post - I'm really confused as to where these drop down menu highlight borders are coming from, I could use help.

Steven means elements that have an additional transparency value for that element. So e.g. "100,100,100,100" instead of "100,100,100"

Oh. I didn't know it was possible to do that in the xml, I haven't done it for this skin.
