Reviewed build 1058. It looks great, but there are a couple of problems outstanding (some were raised previously):

a) On several dialogs there is Black text that can't be seen (e.g. Tools > Auto-organize ; Tools > Auto Tag)
b) On many dialogs, the edge around the 'close' button is absent on the left side (e.g. File > Open URL or File; View>Properties; etc.)
c) Pop-up display has artifacts around the edge
d) The portion of the microplayer containing the seekbar should be a bit narrower (by ~3/8). Petr can you do this?
e) MediaMonkey icon in Miniplayer's Now Playing window should be positioned 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right. Petr, Levi indicated that he wasn't sure how to do this. Is it doable?
f) In the main player, the 'Now Playing' Title Bar isn't top-aligned with tracklist headings--even if the user disables the Now Playing Title Bar.

I've attached the latest version of the skin.

a) On several dialogs there is Black text that can't be seen (e.g. Tools > Auto-organize ; Tools > Auto Tag)
-- I've had a look through the fonts and colors and made some adjustments to the button text color (making it more readable) however I cannot find the setting for the buttons or text area on the Auto Organize screen (and the other similar screens).

b) On many dialogs, the edge around the 'close' button is absent on the left side (e.g. File > Open URL or File; View>Properties; etc.)
-- This is an issue I raised in an earlier version of the skin. I still cannot find a viable solution to this issue.

c) Pop-up display has artifacts around the edge
-- More information??

d) The portion of the microplayer containing the seekbar should be a bit narrower (by /8). Petr can you do this?
-- I've done some minor adjustments to the microplayer, however I do not beleive that making the seekbar area any smaller would be a good idea as long track times may be displayed and the seekbar is already pushing on too short.

e) MediaMonkey icon in Miniplayer's Now Playing window should be positioned 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right. Petr, Levi indicated that he wasn't sure how to do this. Is it doable?
-- For Petr.

f) In the main player, the 'Now Playing' Title Bar isn't top-aligned with tracklist headings--even if the user disables the Now Playing Title Bar.
-- Fixed.

<RS> Please IM Petr about this.

-- This is an issue I raised in an earlier version of the skin. I still cannot find a viable solution to this issue.
<RS> Please see the 'Glided' skin--it has similar buttons but without this issue.

c) Pop-up display has artifacts around the edge
-- More information??
<RS> I've posted a graphic displaying the issue at:

d) The portion of the microplayer containing the seekbar should be a bit narrower (by /8). Petr can you do this?
-- I've done some minor adjustments to the microplayer, however I do not beleive that making the seekbar area any smaller would be a good idea as long track times may be displayed and the seekbar is already pushing on too short.
<RS> I think that there's actually a code bug here. The microplayer tends to get 'squished' depending on the amount of space available, and when more space is made available, it doesn't resize back to the size defined in teh skin (i.e. you're not able to judge how wide the seekbar really is). After Petr fixes the code bug, you or he can examine this issue.

e) MediaMonkey icon in Miniplayer's Now Playing window should be positioned 1 pixel down and 1 pixel to the right. Petr, Levi indicated that he wasn't sure how to do this. Is it doable?
-- For Petr.

f) In the main player, the 'Now Playing' Title Bar isn't top-aligned with tracklist headings--even if the user disables the Now Playing Title Bar.
-- Fixed.
<RS> It's partially fixed. Now when the Now Playing titlebar is shown, it is correctly aligned. However, if the user chooses not to display the Now Playing title bar, the headers of the Tracklist and Now Playing list don't align.

-- This is an issue I raised in an earlier version of the skin. I still cannot find a viable solution to this issue.
<RS> Please see the 'Glided' skin--it has similar buttons but without this issue.
<LB> The Glided skin's buttons are designed differently. The buttons on Blue Glass have a blue border around the sides/bottom which is what causes the issue. The only solution I can foresee is to redesign the buttons without this blue border, however they will then look out of place on the window frame (which also has the blue border).

c) Pop-up display has artifacts around the edge
-- More information??
<RS> I've posted a graphic displaying the issue at:
http://www.jirihajek.net/mantis019/file_download.php?file_id=253&type=bug [^]
<LB> I've had a look at this and possibly fixed it, however I don't know how to bring the pop-up info window up so I'm unable to test it.

f) In the main player, the 'Now Playing' Title Bar isn't top-aligned with tracklist headings--even if the user disables the Now Playing Title Bar.
-- Fixed.
<RS> It's partially fixed. Now when the Now Playing titlebar is shown, it is correctly aligned. However, if the user chooses not to display the Now Playing title bar, the headers of the Tracklist and Now Playing list don't align.
<LB> The fix I applied is the best that I can do as the 'Now Playing' panel has a 2px margin around it. If you have a look at the Glided skin for example, the the header doesn't line up because of this same issue. Any ideas?

Petr, Can you look into issues b and f ?

Levi, re. issue c) (popups), you can enable pop-ups via Tools > Options > Player, in build 1065 or later.

Info pop-up updated/fixed. However, there is a new issue that seems to have introduced itself when I changed the font colour to white.

b) i can't do anything on it. It's all about how buttons are designed in skin.
f) i'll try to fix it

Ok guys, I've had a good long look at the caption button issues and after experimenting and trying a few different things, I caved in and simply redesigned the buttons. They're pretty similar to the way they were but have some subtle differences which allows them to still look "okay" when only the "X" is there etc.

Fixed. Will be in 1069.

Verified 1069--looks good.

The only item that remains that is really very minor, but should be dealt with in any future version of the skin is the fact that the text for e.g. Auto-organize is black. I'm not sure if that's a skin issue or a code issue.
