lol, looks really creative. You make some interesting stuff. Seems a bit dull though, mainly because the paper you put in the background looks like really old paper. Btw, did you draw everything by hand, or did you still use photoshop/GIMP and it's tools?

Hm...your right it does seem a bit dull, maybe i will make lighter paper. Good thought! I use Gimp for everything, it's so nice for this sort of thing!

Thanks a lot for this one! Its really creative, I'm especially in love with the hover-effects =)
It would be nice, if you could skin some of the icons, too. Just similar to Booshs sketches.

lighter background = epic win.

This a hands-down must have now. Nice one. I have a request, though. Add a background for a selected item in the playlist. If you don't how to do it, just ask. I'll be more than glad to help. There's also a small bug that comes along when you try to do that, but it's easily remedied. Thanks for this feather.

I really love it! Dont be afraid to completely branch off and totally make new stuff off of the default gonzo skins(like you did in the play-concrols with the pause-face and animations!)

Some things i would like to see:
-Animations/bolding when hovering over the close-maximize-minimize buttons)
-New 'x' button (i.e. when closing a tab in the browser)
-Make the status bar transparent AND/OR colorizing the show-hide pain buttons.

Just go crazy with it, experiment, make it unique!

Possible bug?? In the previous skin, once i select the "stop" button, the play/pause button immediately switches back to the play icon but in this skin, the pause button remains and i have to select it twice in order to play again. Minor glitch but just thought of bringing it to your attention.

LIB53- im not quite sure what u mean... like this??


 
With the current way of selecting an item in the playlist i was hoping it looked like it was circled, not filled in like this, but idk if thats what you meant...

awkwardsmile- hmm i dont know what is going on and i have no idea how to fix it, i've never seen that sorry!

Here's a quick image to show you what I'm talking about: http://www.divshare.com/download/6228027-2c9

Everything in that image is taken from Glossy Coat 2, so if you want to examine it closer, look at glossy coat 2. I think Schwadegan did the exact same thing in his Sparkle feather.

Thanks for listening to me. lol. Now add the tag "feathers" (don't forget the 's') and you'll be in pretty good shape. This is a really good theme.

Some suggestions for the theme:
 I use the following font: http://eknp.com/php/fd.php?f=scribble
 I did a LyricMaster skin (put in the skin folder for the extension): http://pastebin.mozilla.org/610695
 Here is a screen shot of them: http://www.bengtsononline.com/albums/main.php?g2_itemId=55034&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
 I also like the default album art image in the comment by Boosh.

 Some people think the scroll bars could be a toned down a bit, they seem to take away your attention from the rest of the app.

Thanks Stevo!
I think i got the new font to work, but... it looks different than your screen shot. All i did was just add "Scribble Regular" to a few spots in the feathers.css and colors.css. Is that right? Also, I don't understand how to do that lyrics master skin thing... but it looks good! Thanks again

There is something alluring about this theme that I cannot explain. Keep up the good work. I hope you could get the lyrics master font to resemble the compactness as in YABS or NABS. But keep the same font as your playlist.. or whatever your mind says. Kinda nice to not have to scroll to see the lyrics for even short songs. 5 stars still imo!!

hallo,
great and very nice feather!!!
but i have a problem:
I've updated and now there isn't the right font as it is shown in your screen shot!
I think in my songbird is Times New Roman used as font.
So please help me

@ tm14,

Is it possible to do something to enhance the pane buttons across the top, next to the search window? Please try Pane buttons if you don't have it already, to see how difficult it is to see the icons. It allows you to put multiple ICONS across the top.. But it is hard for me to decipher using Cartoon, as they seem unskinned.

Many thanks for your work.

@ martin_bighomer- Try updating to version 2.2, and see if that helps... otherwise, did you try installing the Gemelli font? The instructions for that are in the description of this add-on.

Thanks for the notice deOmega, i was not aware of that problem until you mentioned it...but your right it was very hard to see!

thanks for the Updates tm14! I love the Gemelli font way better than Scribble... much more readable!

You might want to make the instructions more readable/alert in your description so people see it ;)
Maybe put a 'direct' link to the font download, and some installation instructions for Mac and Linux (for Linux all you have to do is put the .TTF in your hidden '.fonts' folder in your home directory)

I wish there was a way to package the font with the .xpi and just link to the .ttf and use it instead of installing it... but, ya.. i dont know...

THANKS for the great work!

hmm.. so apparently the Gemelli font doesn't have accents.. so whenever songbird reaches a song with accents, such as Sigur Rós' "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" album.. It freezes, This problem was so hard to track down cause i never thought that a feather would be causing the freezing.. but yep... I couldn't really find a good font with accents but to test it out this Cartoon font with accents stopped the freezing.

I like the miniplayer. This is truly the most creative feather I've seen. It's not within my brain capacity to suggest stuff for this so i tried to find stuff i didn't like. Nothing there either. lol.

I installed it a couple of days ago and loved it.
unfortunately, I reinstalled songbird and am on version 1.1.2.
Any way this can be made available on 1.1.2, or should i downgrade my songbird?

thanks for the update,
maybe you could also add support to Main Alternate in More Gonzo.
In addition, the left und right border of the Medium Player are black.
By contrast, in your screenshoot the look different.

Hi Pure Player - Skinners ;)

I just want to leave you guys a note about Pure Player:
After the last update, there are some small changes in the Pure Player Skins necessary. Please take a look at this Wiki entry, where I documented the changes I made to my skins. You might not need to repeat all these changes, but some of them for sure.

Thanks!

Please check out the page on the wiki for details.

Great Work. I like the new background.

However, I noticed that the equalizer isn't skinned fully. It comes out like this

Other than that. It's a ok

I just came accross a problem. I dont know if its been highlighted. well, i use opacity options while using meduim player. But the problem is the background or the theme doesn't get semi-transparent(when not in focus). But the controls behave good. Please also make background to follow opacity functions
thank you.
