to override the inactive tab icon mask when tabs are docked in the caption bar:
TabsBar.InactiveTabInCaptionIconMask bg

to override the now playing list header when docked in the left sidebar - it also supports bg2
SidebarLeft.Header.Default bg bg2 fg

It would be nice to have this one back too: TabsBar.TabCloseButton.Lowlight, or an option to hide the close buttons on tabs.

i dont understand this - no close button is displayed on the inactive tab

i think endeavour meant the close button on an active tab, which currently uses fg color from TabsBar.Tab.Highlight

link updated with these added:
  <element id="TabsBar.TabCloseButton.Default" fg="255,0,100" />
  <element id="TabsBar.TabInCaptionBarCloseButton.Default" fg="10,67,200" />

    <element id="TabsBar.TabInCaptionBarAddButton.Default" bg="20,20,210" fg="90,230,30" bdr="230,10,190" />

could we have an option to make the active tab font regular instead of bold?

Is there a customizable icon for the 'Playing Track' tab? Maybe I missed it...

Is there a customizable icon for the 'Playing Track' tab? Maybe I missed it...

from the dummy skin:

Code

    <!--when 'Now Playing' is docked in a tab-->
    <!--<element id="PlayingTrackInTab"></element>-->
    <!--<element id="PlayingTrack"></element>-->
    <!--? must be used as a pair-->
    <!--? 'Playing Track' usually the same as 'PlaylistNowPlayingIcon'-->
    <!--<element id="Visualiser"></element>-->
    <!--when 'Visualiser' is docked in a tab-->

Thanks! that's exactly what I needed

Could we customize the new "Show Toolbar" button (group icons into one), plz? (I mean using our own icon)

[Steven]

no more requests are being done for v2.4

When you place the flat player bar on the top, the wave bar colors are just automated even though PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar and PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar.Inner are set. If you move the player bar to the bottom, then it respects PlayerFlat.Wavebar and PlayerFlat.Wavebar.Inner. Now move it again to the top, it sometimes follows PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar and PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar.Inner or sometimes shows some weird mixed colors.

In sum, when flat player bar is docked at the bottom, no problem. But on the top, wave bar colors don't work properly.

trying now, the only way i can see this happening is if you dont set all the attributes
  <element id="PlayerFlat.Wavebar" fg="19,6,130" fg2="0,170,130" />
  <element id="PlayerFlat.Wavebar.Inner" fg="243,14,60" fg2="245,5,25" />
  <element id="PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar" fg="193,6,30" fg2="190,130,130" />
  <element id="PlayerTopFlat.Wavebar.Inner" fg="3,184,60" fg2="145,145,245" />

It seems now that probably I only set the four elements without setting any other PlayerTopFlat elements. Working fine with all other PlayerTopFlat elements set.

Please support bg attribute for Controls.SliderLine.Default and Controls.SliderLine.Disabled. Currently it's colored in bg of AutoDjPanel.Default. Because of this, can't use different bg colors for preferences panel and autoDJ panel.

this is fixed for the next v2.4 update

I've tried several ways to get this to work;
<element id="Controls.SliderLine.Default" bg=" " fg=" " />
<element id="Controls.SliderLine.Default" fg=" " bg=" " />

in xml before or after
<element id="AutoDjPanel.Default" bg=" " fg=" " />

and I'm stumped.

Is there something I'm missing?
