Why did you change this ... the MM4 UI here was so much clearer.
In MM4 the UI told me that this panel contained two tabs.
In MM5 it doesn't ... it makes the user worry "where is the display that I saw before? .. or did I imagine it?"
It is made more confusing because there are two panels named "Playing", and they each have different contents and purposes.

Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

Maybe I got confused. The 1st post listed several issues, but that one seemed to get missed.. The second post was about the menu, which appeared to change, but the panel names didn't.
But the main topic of this thread is a new point I think ... I don't remember making that point before, and appologies if I have.
.
I was pointing out that the MM4 way of showing that the Play|Selected panel was actually two toggled panels, was a lot clearer than what you have done in MM5 ... ie. In MM4 you had two tabs in the panel heading bar ... vs a single normal looking heading in MM5, which the user has to guess is a click toggle switch ... see 1st image in my initial post in this thread.
