Hello, cerealkiller.
Nice skin, thank you.

Can I post some remarks, in order it become even better then it already is:

1) there is an artefact in extended playlist window, when number of found tracks not completely shown before slash of all tracks in list number (I have 44/1455 and beginning of first 4 is cut)
2) the colour of hints bubbles not completely harmonise to overall colour scheme of skin, IMHO
3) info window remark: maybe there is sence to adjust width of [PLAYLIST | LIBRABY | INFO] menu with width of second menu line (mean only complete line of buttons: 1) [+|-|etc...] 2) [general|visual|samples|message]) so that they all become equal width.
4) Found tracks are shown in grey, maybe it is too dark. If colourised, maybe it cheer up users somehow.

And, maybe there will be another colour scheme? Red would be nice.

Regards...

I don't want you to feel ignored...

The skin looks very good.  I like it except for the VU graphics - they are a bit distracting.

The small version color is a bit different from the main one, or am I just not seeing them the same?

This is looking good.

Something I've noticed (with this and other skins, too) is that the graphic sliders for balance and volume seem to jump around on mouse-over.  Is that just me, or do others see it too?

Is there any way to suppress the VU graphic?

I downloaded the original XMPlay archive, extracted it, and ran it without touching any settings.  It didn't seem to have the strange mouse-over effect on the volume and balance.  I loaded your skin, and it showed the strange effect.

This was before I even played any music, so the volume and balance settings bouncing around didn't have any effect on the output.

Honestly, I've seen this with other skins, too.  I've got no idea what is causing it.  Wish I knew....

Do you get the problem with the "stuff" build?

I don't recall any changes that would explain what you describe, but it's possible I'm forgetting something Smiley

Yeah, I got it with the stuff versions, which is why I downloaded the official release and extracted it into its own directory.  I hoped it would be as easy as blaming the problem on a beta issue.

I don't get it with the default skin, but most others.  It seems to happen when the volume or balance bar gets highlighted.  The slider button jumps minimum to maximum, back and forth as the bar gets and loses focus.

I have access to another computer, so I can check the operation when I get there.

Would it be possible to make the VU a solid gradient, rather than bars?
