This is my first skin. I'm excited to eventually make an original skin, but its much easier the first time around basing your player on something already done to get the feel of the skin editing tools.

I hope you like my skin, feel free to leave comments (please go easy on me!

)

Also for anyone who has a Zune, and is interested in trying to sync it with Mediamonkey, I have created a guide on how to do so.

Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations.
I'm sure I'm going to use it a lot!

Just let me do a little criticism. I think you should either change the tree text to white OR make the background a little brighter.
The way it is now, the tree text is hard to read.

Thanks gege! Yes, I know, the tree text is too dark. I wanted to try and keep the skin as close to the original as I could, but you can't make the tree text a different color than the regular list text color.

I will add changing that tree background to my "to-do" list.

That's a really nice skin! Just Love to see high quality skins around here!
Haven't tried it but it looks gorgeous!

Keep up the good work and keep them good skins coming dude!

nice for a first skin but as mentioned the background on the tree is a tiny bit dark.

hey the copying the already done skin is how most of us started, no need to be ashamed about it.

It is so simple yet so elegant.
I'm gonna have to get used to the buttons in the middle though.

I only have one small thing of dislike, which is the Micro Player which i think looks a bit weirdwith the buttons only half showing.

Its a really good skin, I think, so keep up the good work!

I'm new to MM, but I figure this skin is for MM3 only?

Nice skin! I did notice one thing though. If you look at the area circled in red in the screen shot you will notice a white area. This is where the titlebar is suppose to be. If you turn off the titlebar then it looks fine. Just something I thought you might want to take a look at.

Does this occur only with my skin or with other skins as well?

Only with your skin.
