I enjoyed these skins very much, but I would like to recommend the fonts in the blue background mainly to be white. The black one doesn't make a good contrast. Best regards.

@Slingers - I'll have a look in the New Year when things quieten down a bit

Hi I'm using this skin (Blue) on my media PC through my 47inch TV. Just a couple of observations.

1. Is there any way you could change the text colour in the search box - its really hard to read from a distance - white would be good or a similar light colour - pale yellow maybe.

2. Likewise with the highlight text - the black text on blue is sometimes really hard to read, especially in subdued light - would you be able to do the same with that?

Nice work! Thank you.

I am lovin' these skins, Coach.

@Gingernut 63 - Unfortunately it's not possible to switch text size as you suggested as this is controlled by the .ini file and that in turn has to be built into the .msz file. Ah well....it was just a thought anyway

Wow, now that is big! It might put some people off. Could it be switched large and small via a selection button? (just to make it difficult).

I'm two days away from being able to download these but wanted say I really like the design. And I appreciate the different colors.

Fantastic work!

@Gingernut63 - Thanks for the comment. Not sure about the darker background (personally) although I'll add it to my to-do list (a.k.a. "someday" list) to give it a try and see what it looks like.

Great skin! You have obviously put some thought into the layout, well done.

Any chance of producing a version with darker window backgrounds? I also like sirander's idea especially as I get older .

Cheers

@sirander - I never visualised the skin that way.....BUT....one of the projects I've got in hand is a large display skin for just that purpose. I've been coming at it so far with a player designed specifically for large text. Like all things skins this means a complete design exercise and building the graphics. A quicker fix could be to use a single line of large text on a standard player that has room. I'll have at look at your idea as an option when I get a chance and let you know if it's acceptable for public consumption. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

I've included the volume percentage indicator in this one as I knew you wanted that in the Quatx skin. I'll get around to adding it in that one for you a.s.a.p.

Thanks Coach.

Great Skin ...... but what not make the song display information display along one line with a much bigger font so you can see it from across the room.

Wow.

These are beautiful, Coach.

Thank you very much.

Just one question... Is the Lyrics Viewer skin the same for all colours? It doesn't appear to have any colour.
