This is 1.4.2 SP.
Well I thought the gray box highlighting the track was enough of an indication. I'll see if I can get some orange text in for selected items for the next release.
I just installed this skin and it's very nice but I don't get any sort of selection indicator in Album Art Details view. The entire background is grey and I guess the selection box is the same color so we can't see it. I'd suggest making more of a contrast of colors between selected and not selected (it's quite difficult for me to notice the difference in Album Art view), regardless of whether or not you change the selected text color.

Otherwise, nice job!

Thanks for your help. I was able to make what I hope is a suitable change for you all. As always, refer to the first post for the download link.

Ver 1.4.3
-Album Art views improved
-Vertical Microplayer added

one last thing that is bugging me a little....

There is no stop button on the mini player..... not very useful unless you play with your folders and listen to some tunes while doing it.

Explanation... when you dont STOP playing (only pause it) a song you are not able to move or delete that song unless you close the player. Since I often clean my music collection and listen to songs while doing it I always have to have MM3 full open since there is no stop button on the mini player....

hope I'm clear enough........

Thanks. Maybe it is not usefull to anyone else........

thanks!

Glad to hear it

Ver 1.4.5 - Thanks Rovingcowboy!
-Fixed a small bug where sometimes song title and artist would not appear in the player

On another note, if anyone has the ZuneSkinSP version 1.4.4 (most recent before this update) could you send me the file? You can send it to the email I have listed in my profile - the .msz skin file or the .mmip file would do the trick.

A pleasure! If there's anything you're dissatisfied with or you have an idea for improvement, don't hesitate to let me know. Sometimes its hard for the artist to see past his own beauty

I sure will. Right now I can't think of anything because I think the skin is just perfect for me. When I'm not just playing tracks (then I have MM in the tray only), I generally use MM maximized and it fits on the screen well. Stuff is easy to see. It has the right amount of contrast. Not too light, not too dark. The buttons are stylish and overall, the UI is sleek and cool. Cool is important.

This is my favorite skin allong with the new itunes skin.

It's really hard to tell what could be improved as it's almost perfect in my opinion.

I have some ideas but it should be test to see if it's really good ones.
And since i don't now how to modify skins...

Fist one would be to put a darker background for the album art panel.

Second one is to change the color of the scrollbars to match better general theme of you're skin.

Third: The statusbar at the bottom could be smoothed a bit.

And finally make custom icons for your skin.
( For the moment i use Kemie's silk icon set
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ight=icons
wich integrate very well with your skin( making a nice combinaison)

Let me know what you think
