Highlighted text in Search box [#18515]

[MPG]

Hi,
I am using the Monkey Groove skin and you cannot see what text is highlighted in the Search box. Can the color of the highlight be changed so it is visible or maybe the background color of the search box changed to white so the blue highlight is visible?

I got the same with Groove Monkey so I switched to Code Monkey.

If you look on the Add-Ons page, there is some distinction made between the skins. Some say "Compatible with 5.0.2"

Also keep an eye out for updates to Skins / Add-Ons!

Thanks; Fixed in the next beta build: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=18515

Are there any other places you could find where things are not visible?

Yup; that is because there are some new changes to the skinning API that some new skins are using. If you don't have a beta 5.0.2 build installed, you can install an older version of the skins in the meantime.

We are currently planning a feature that will allow addon developers to inform MediaMonkey of the minimum supported version of their addons, so that this type of compatibility mess can be avoided.

I haven't noticed any. I'll be sure to update if/when I do.

Thanks for the fix Drakinite,

Sounds like a great plan.

Turns out I forgot to commit the changes until today (despite marking the issue as fixed), so the fix isn't present in the most recent beta build (2516). It'll be in the next one.
