Modded version of the skin Savanna by Karbock





Edit:
Fonts I used are....Cascadia Code as a global font and Trebuchet MS for the lyrics.
I've hidden the headers bar for clean look.
To mantain that clean look between album art and lyrics section I 've hidden blended the same color as the theme.

I've also changes this particular color option in the "Now Playing" Settings in the "Playback" settings as mentioned in the comment below.

I can assure you this theme is not well polished but I did the best I could. It's not vastly that different from the original one. Only few minor tweaks.

Thanks for sharing your work wallflower.

I'm wondering about something though.
Karbock's Savanna skin is pretty well-rounded and looks very nice  and functions well.

I was wondering if the (minor) thing(s) that you have changed couldn't have been suggested to Karbock first?
If he agrees that your suggestion for some modifications makes his skin better, it would give him the chance to update and improve his skin.
That would help in making his skin 'better', and there would be no need for publishing another skin that is for 99% identical to his skin?

I just realized you made the Cheetah DNA which this skin was originally based on. I used your skin since the start of me using MusicBee but I found the colors in Savanna to be pleasing on bright TVs where lyrics are easier to use.

You are absolutely right.... I have been using the skin modified be me for quite some time now and it works for me without the gradient in the headers bar and lyrics header color... I should have reached out to  forum first. I did try looking how I could remove this skin from the Addons here but I didn't find out. I love this software so much I know I will be making skins from scratch someday. I will look into how I can remove this skin. The thumb image has been deleted anyway so.

Do you have the code for a mac style or linux style caption (Titlebar) min max exit buttons I could use?

Here are the two screen shots to compare the subtle differences.

1st one is Original Savanna


This second one is modified ( I think the non-dominating header colors look pleasing for me)

Just to be clear, I appreciate you sharing your work, and I would not pressure you to remove what you created and shared.
I was honestly curious if you had only made a minor change that Karbock possibly might agree with to be an improvement for his skin.

But if you have added something like gradients, and Karbock doesn't like that for his skin, you are obviously free and justified to share your mod version of it.

Thank you for the support. I'm figuring out this forum as I'm not too used to this. Its just that Imgur have deleted that single image which happened to be my thumbnail for that post. Finally I found out how I can make changes to the post. Hoping to get more involved here.
