Summary0007200: Overuse of Glass effect in MM4
DescriptionAs pointed out at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54591 ,
MM4 tends to overuse the glass effect in a manner that makes it distracting and contrary to UI guidelines (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa974173.aspx ).

Below is a list of dialogs in which completely violate the guidelines:
1) Open URL or File
2) Download file
3) Maintain library
4) Clear database
5) Add OPML directory
6) Sleep
7) All Advanced tag management dialogs
8) About MediaMonkey
9) There may be others e.g. Warning & Error dialogs


Other dialogs that have lesser violations (placing OK/Cancel/other buttons at the bottom in a transparent area) include. These dialogs should render more similarly to the Search dialog:
10) Options Panel (buttons at bottom should preferably not be on a transparent background)
11) Properties dialog
12) Subscribe to new podcast
13) Auto-tag from filename
14) Auto-organize
15) Extensions dialog


TagsNo tags attached.
