What am I doing wrong? I downloaded and installed the skin, selected it under options, but nothing changes. MM still comes up the same way as always.

I love this skin. Absolutely gorgeous. Great work! I am not too much of a tinkerer in general and usually go with defaults. But in this case, I wanted a better skin and after several searches landed on this one and now it is a permanent setting for me. But the highlight thing is a big nuisance. As others have mentioned, I can not tell which song is playing. Hopefully the developers are reading this and would cooperate and make it a soft option so that it could have a different (opposite from the skin) color).

Good luck! And thanks for your contribution to the community while here.

I am pleased that some users have found favor in the skin. Unfortunately I have to stop the support, because my interests have changed and I have now discovered another media player that appeals to me more. However, it doesn't change the fact that MediaMonkey is an excellent software.

This skin is absolutely fantastic. Most dark skins are too dark; depressing, hard to read. This creates "night" while excellent on visibility, clarity, and aesthetic. Thank you for taking the time to contribute something that makes such an impact on our experience as users. Great work. You are talented. :D

Is there any way to change the text in the menus, the options, art and details, and status bar at the bottom from black to white? Really hard to see back text against a dark blue background.

I'm digging the font that you used.

Nice! Thank you!

Same problem as above post. I can't tell which song is playing. Otherwise I love this skin.

One annoyance though:
It's nearly impossible to tell from the track list, which track is playing, shouldn't it be bolder or in slightly different colour?

Like this:

Possible to add some more contrast or slightly different colour to the track currently playing?[/quote]

It’s impossible to skin the now-playing track colour, cuz it’s hardcoded. Maybe hopefully the developers will change this sometime. But: The now-playing track is bolded – that’s standard in MediaMonkey.

Currently there are a few non-reskinned areas. I will fix this when I get to it. The plan is definitely to install a completely new own skinned float player, which should still take a while.

Excellent skin, thank you. 8)

Looks good except for this:

Not sure if it's supposed to be like that or not. I prefer the style here if possible:

I upped a lighter and warmer version of Fusion. The example mock-up was a bit too cold I think. You can find the download in the first post.

So people aren't allowed to express an honest opinion on here now?
Why was my previous post removed?

That would be perfect except for the checkered kind of background. Maybe a solid gray or white? Also, I don't know if this is even possible or how much work it would be, but I would love another skin with a Micro Player similar to this: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41695, but I imagine that would be a lot of work or a total overhaul.
