Seek bar and volume control should use a proper slider.

This forum is for reporting bugs in MediaMonkey for Windows 4. Note that version 4 is no longer actively maintained as it has been replaced by version 5.

Disclaimer: Based on this Wishlist thread I decided to open bugs for the separate issues at hand. I think it makes sense to bring them to bug forum (see my post in the linked thread for my reasoning) so individual bug numbers can be assigned. Thanks.

Problem:

Seek bar and volume control should use a proper slider using the non-skinned version of MediaMonkey 3.2

Current look:

Should be like:

The seekbar should be easy to replace with a proper Trackbar/Scrollbar widget when using the non-skinned version.

this line of your message leads me to think you want to have part of the skinning features work on the non skin version.?
cause it says "replace."

No, currently there seems to be some custom widget used which probably has specialized skinning code. There are ready Trackbar widgets. I mentioned replace as I assumed that the non-skinned version uses some IFDEFs to generate different code paths and as such a single widget could probably be replaced only in the non-skinned version.

Other than that, it would of course also be possible to use the Visual Style Reference to replicate the look of the native Trackbar using the current widget.
