You mean Dusk I think  ;).
So here it is:
Dusk (progressbar top).xmlc

The text looks a bit out of position. It's not in the center:

i'm not sure whether the following was changed in the source dusk/dawn skins but there were a couple of things that were throwing the text centering off - this may no longer apply though:
- the progress bar should have the transparent bits removed from the top if its still there, so the height reflects the real progress bar height, otherwise alignment calculations are off
- use the new "PanelMinusProgressBar" attribute for field alignment eg.
  <top relativeTo="PanelMinusProgressBar.VerticalCenter" offset="2" />
if you dont do these things, you might get it aligning for one font size but it wont work so well for others.

The progress bar was fixed some time ago (the transparent bit).

With the progress bar on top we need something like PanelPlusProgessBar.VerticalCenter. (maybe <top relativeTo="Panel.VerticalCenter" offset="±ProgressBar/2 ± x" />).
(on a side note:  <top relativeTo="PanelMinusProgressBar.VerticalCenter" offset="x" />  aligns the VerticalCenter not the top of an element, relative to Panel.VerticalCenter, so it's misleading)

Would you mind or is it possible to have option of displaying the 'stop' button for this skin, so as to bypass the problem mentioned in the link below?

In my mod i have a stop button enabled but hidden, only visible when the mouse is over it. You can see it in this message: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=6036.msg35218#msg35218

The sources are available if someone wants to implement it here http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=6036.15

You'll need SkinCreator. It opens skin.xml and compiles it with the images to an unique .xmlc file wich can be copied to the skins folder of MB. The element related here has the id="StopTrackButton", depending on the images you have to play with the offsets.

EDIT: I condensed all the posts to only this one.

It is hidden here as well.  I am asking for it to be visible.  Am I mistaken?  Thanks.

Steven has a solution for this issue, so I would like to withdraw my request.  Thanks lnminente!!!

My take on the progress bar on top


https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxgugocw37wxost/Dusk_beta_alt.xmlc

It might not work with musicbee 1.x

Thanks for the continued work on this skin. 

please note that the auto hide of the left side panel leaves the border unskinned.

there is one thing a bit odd with your screenshots and that is the scrollbar appears slightly cut-off. Are you using custom DPI (larger font) set in the Windows Control panel Personalisation section by any chance?
