thanks! especially for dark variant. looks great.

I've only tested the dark skin and I really like the look of it.
Thanks for sharing. A couple of comments:

Don't know if it's just me but there appears to be a transparent line just above the tab headers in the tag editor.
I think it may be a result of a missing element in your xml file - TagEditorPanel.MenuLine.


If you'll want to get rid of the two white borders below, I believe you'll have to provide the unknown artist image at 135x135.

I love the Dark version. However, I did find what I'm assuming is a visual bug because it doesn't look good in my opinion, and is only present in the Dark version, not Light. The column browser in the Dark mode has a red outline.

i've noticed the same "issue"

[T010]

Thanks for your feedback so far. There are indeed some debug colors in the skin for code elements I could not understand which part of the interface they impact. Hence the beta label; updates will be available soon

[T010]

Updated Dark and Light versions are available through the same download link. If you find more bugs, let me know.

Thanks, it looks much better now!

The transparent line is indeed gone, thanks.

Tried but it didn't fix the outline.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you. Does the image have transparent edges (or anything not a solid colour in that area)?

[T010]

It's a solid color all around, and the borders I see are not as pronounced as yours. The brightness of the edges also slightly vary as you change the slider for the cover display size. I'd guess it's a rendering issue, not a source file issue.

This is what I see using a 135x135 image:



Edit:

In the Music Explorer "Profile" section, the borders are visibly different from the other views:

Fantastic skin. I wish there's a slim version for the player controls too.
