If you PM me or email me a picture of what the title bar should look like (preferably .png or .bmp format) I could make a custom one for you.
I'm tinkering with ThemeEditor7 and it looks to me like it's a lot harder than I first thought it would be to change the titlebar color. The titlebar isn't a contiguous color, it's a series of horizontal stripes, so you can't just easily fill it with the color you want.
In lieu of posting a picture, I'll just describe what I meant.
The titlebar of Aqua4 MediaMonkey has the MM icon on the left, followed by the word MediaMonkey in a dark blue font. On the right side are five round colored buttons. And the titlebar background is a creamy white color with faint greyish horizontal lines.
My only graphical programming experience has been with Delphi and VB, where the color of the title bar is easily changed. And in fact, most programs can have their title bar color changed simply by using the Windows Theme functionality. It appears to be a much larger deal when making that change in MediaMonkey, where everything is created by stacking images on top of each other. As far as I can tell it would take the modification of several images to do what I'm wanting to do, and they aren't simple images that lend themselves to being modified.
I used to use the Non-Skinned version of MM, but since MM3 that feature has become unusable because of its player, IHMO.
But anyway, my preference is to have the titlebar background color a dark blue with white text. But since I'm a begger, I have no problems not being a chooser.
Aqua4 skin is already a work of art, and I love what it has done for MM3.
