Looking for an Element or Two - The Sequel

[phred]

I have a skin with alternating color color bars in the Playing Tracks Panel and in Track Details View.  The color bars have a white(ish) border that I'd like to get rid of but can't find the correct element to change.
I'd also like to change color of the vertical column separators in the Column Browser.
Thanks for your help.

for the browser, its the border attribute of
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].Body.Default" bg="XXX" fg="XXX" bdr="XXX"/>
or the equivalent in id="ColumnBrowser.Default" if you are using an override

The other line is
<element id="Content[TrackDetail].ItemSeparatorLine" fg="XXX" />
or
<element id="Content[AlbumAndTracks].ItemSeparatorLine" fg="XXX" />
depending on what view you use

Thanks Bee-liever, that did the trick.

Here's one more test to see who knows what element controls the fg and bg of the playing track area in the compact player.

Here's one more test to see who knows what element controls the fg and bg of the playing track area in the compact player.

Code

  <element id="NowPlayingTrackInfo" bg="" fg="" />
  <element id="NowPlayingLargeAlbumTrackInfo" bg="" fg=""  />
  <element id="NowPlayingArtistTrackInfo" bg="" fg=""  />

Code

  <element id="NowPlayingArtistTrackInfo" bg="" fg=""  /> 

What is it? Was it implemented?

What is it?

It's the same element as the others, for use with a different layout - using "artists" view in now playing.

Was it implemented?

Yeah, it was.

Thank you kindly.

Do you mean "Artist Picture" view? I can't make the element working. What's the exact now playing setting where the element's working?

That's right, see this screenshot for more info:

Thanks, but I still can't. Do you see that working without the other two elements?
Can't add it to the new element list without knowing what it does.

See phred's screenshot above, it controls the background and foreground of the currently playing track info, located at the bottom of the right panel. I believe each of these elements is independent of each other.

If it helps --- I copied all three elements into the xml and commented out the last two.  (Remember, I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to skins, so I only make one change at a time.) I then edited the first element and the bg & fg of the compact player area in my screenshot (above) worked just fine.  I then uncommented the other two and changed them.

[redwing]

The first two elements (NowPlayingTrackInfo & NowPlayingLargeAlbumTrackInfo) are just working fine and they're already in the list.
But I can't make the third one (NowPlayingArtistTrackInfo) working with whatever settings. Now I doubt it's ever implemented.

Sorry, I think I'm mistaken about the last one. I suggested the element be added but Steven didn't actually confirm that.
