How can I change the play to click icon in album cover art in my own skin?
The above location in red is too vague for me.
I am not sure where in MusicBee that is. Can you post a screenshot?

i think the OP means this icon (click "customize panel" in "albums" view, tick "show click to play button..."):



i remember that this icon has been initially included in localization files (as a localization string entry using base64-encoded image; because it was a localized text "Play" at that time, not the icon), but MB doesn't use that localization entry anymore.

and from my screenshot (it's hiccup's "nocturne" skin) it seems that it can be overridden by bitmap skin.

Thanks boroda.

In that case, there's certainly no way to assign a custom icon to that button at the moment.
There are two hardcoded icons for it - the one on your screenshot (which appears when the slimIcons skin setting is enabled) and the other which is a solid-fill.

I disabled the slimicons settings and it looks much more to my taste now.

 But it seems it does take its colors from somewhere. I just wish I knew where.
You can see for example in the centrol skin, it has that nice red accent color:

Here's a tool that should help with that - hiccup's Sample Skin:

Given that it's a translucid button overlayed on top of album artworks, it wouldn't help.

But I did finally stumbled upon it. It's shared with the element to skin highlighted buttons (like save, cancel, ...) which is
Code
element id="Controls.Button.Highlight"
