Can you set it to work with 0.7pre instead of 0.7? That way release candidate testers like me can use this theme. As soon as you do that, i can evaluate your skin. From screenshots, it looks like a five star skin.....

I installed it. The grey seemed too bright for me. Other than that, it's what it promises to be: Gonzo Complete Black

@PictorieN,

Nice feather option indeed. My suggestion would be to dim the white text etc a bit.. it is too much of a contrast that is hard on the eyes... well, my eyes :).
Additionally, the top bar that you have gray, I would say that it could be darker, as it is quite a contrast considering the overall theme. Any thoughts of making it the same or closer to the color of the bar with the play buttons?

This is really a nice alternative feather.

OH, I am a big fan of blue, but, seems to be too bright for the theme to be the only blue. Just my feedback.... others may think it is perfect as is.

I've created a new version to change the top bar i agree it didn't suit the overall theme.

Is it the main library font that you are saying is too white and being over contrast?

I've also dulled down the blue in the most prominent areas.

Nice, re. changes.

I think mainly the library font, but probably also the service pane where you have library, playlist etc.. Maybe you are using bold also, which may add to the brightness as well as make the library look very VERY busy :). The word, 'album art' in the left service pane, looks to be of an ideal font, but hard to be sure that it would work in the library, seeing that it is against a different black there..

As for the blue highlight, I have been wondering if you should have the text highlighted in such a different color, as opposed to the row background. But even if you do the background, it should probably really be a hint of the color blue.. as in a very dark blue, as opposed to a standout blue.

May I repeat though, that that is a very nice blue you chose,, but just not for this theme blend in my opinion. Just remember that your idea on this one is dark, as the name suggests.

Thank you for listening and please keep up the good work!

Sorry, I got lost and forgot that you were modifying AdamR's. I suppose that you could let his be an option with blue as you go a different direction offering the true dark.

Ill take that into consideration, I do agree that the library fonts are a little bit over powering. If i get a moment through the week ill see what i can do.

thanks for the feed back.

Looks 1,000 times better once you darkeend all the grey nav bar stuff. This skin should be five star, and yes, i rated it 5 star. Would you mind if in the future i made a skin based off of this? It would be soooo much faster if i were to make a dark skin and have this as my basis.

I am colourblind and cannot read the text that is next to a radio button on a website. Whilst I understand that the distinction between plain text and that of a selectable radio button is desired, I feel that this common issue can be easily resolved by making the radio text a little darker.

some of the text in my playlist has become invisible.
was there no text before? i doubt it - yet i don't know if it's now a black font on a black background or simply no text....

a simple restart was enough to get the problem out of the way. excuse me.
