Cool Meets Colour
Description
"Euphoria is medically recognized as an emotional and mental state defined as a sense of great (usually exaggerated) elation and well-being. Technically, euphoria is an affect, but the term is often colloquially used to define emotion as an intense, transcendent happiness combined with an overwhelming sense of well-being. The word derives from Greek εὐφορία, 'power of enduring easily, fertility'."
biggest thanks to zuzu for all the support =)
and people at the developer irc for answering my silly questions, and to LIB53 for advices on where to start.
<3 songbird
Release Notes
subtle changes with buttons, made the Lyrics background lighter, other than that a version bump.
You can now use Pure Player with euphoria, but it doesnt have a custom skin yet.
Finals are keeping me busy, this semester turned out to be harder than expected, sorry for not keeping my promises of updates.
hope to make up for these soon.

Awesome. Looks amazing right now. I'll look into it bit deep later so i can report bugs. I wish i was first to download it. lol.
yew
thanks =D the next version will be more complete and consistent i guess = )
thanks for the support!

Very well done! I love the detail in your feather, yew!
One suggestion [more like a request]: multiple colors! I'd love having a few colors to choose from for this as opposed to only the green. A blue, red, and orange would be some starters. It'd be great to see this feather turn into a nice little series of high-quality colored feathers.
Good work!
CassidyJames
Clarification on "only the green": I realize the feather has other colors in it, but the primary/dominate color is the light green. I think you could do a stellar job of using the same images but with different primary/dominate colors. Just my thoughts!
Oh, some feedback: The white text in certain areas is difficult to read, namely on the faceplate, and completely lost on the tabs for the Mashtape (and possibly similar) add-ons.
yew
Thanks for the feedback and commets, James. There will be more colours to follow. but i have some priorities first. The first one is, i will be trying to make this one complete, with proper colours in menus and for add-ons. I was aware of that white tabs for mashtape and in the options menu too, just was about to give a break from the feather, and i though it was complete enough for an initial release.
The next update will be possibly coming this week -pretty busy with school nowadays- and there won't be annoying hard-to-read texts and the overall feel will be more consistent i guess. i will also try to implement the other add-on supports.
for the faceplate though, any other colour than white doesn't seem to fit in, and i tried to do my best for the readibility, without sacrificing the faceplate colour, which is kinda the main idea of this feather. i will toy with it a little more if i can do something.
Thanks for the support! Love to see people loving it =)
starke
Yeah, I love the look too! I do have to agree with James though. The white for me is too white - meaning that I have a hard time seeing the white text as well. It's almost as if everything should come down a shade. I dunno. I actually like the color scheme for the most part. Just something about the brightness irks me. White text though, that's the main problem. Keep it up!
starke
I just realized one of the things that bothers me. In the library view, I'd like to be able to see the alternating colors a bit more clearly. Not very much at all, but just enough to take some of the brightness out of the view. Just one person's opinion, though. =)
yew
Glad you like it, starke, and I'm definitely going to use the feedback. I just need some time off for school, kinda juggling many tasks right now.I hope the next update will satisfy many people.
Thanks for the love and support!

I still haven't checked your skin out completely (sorry) but i have implemented your white tab text tip in Glossy Coat 2. I also thanked you in the release and provided a link to this theme in appreciation.
yew
Wow, thanks for the mention :D I think we feather-developers should share every technical idea, as coding is not and doesn't have to be our strongest point. So that we can all have less boundries for our designs, and i really think it would be best for Songbird.
I'm really excited with the black tabs of glossy coat, too. Great job!
Thanks again =)
yew
@starke & James, i made the faceplate darker, so i hope you will find this readibility enough. =) Also no more white buttons with white labels!
@starke, i left the playlist alternating colours as they were, a darker colour seemed to kill simplicity. =)
what do you think?
LIB53
It looks really good yew. I tried to find issues, but there's no severe bugs. Everything that I'm going to say is just preference stuff.
Unfocused rows in the playlist are really hard to read. So is the selected tab text. And that's honestly just about all i can complain about. While this feather really isn't quite my taste, it does look pretty smooth. Mediaflow also looks the best in this feather by far. This feather seems really fresh, which was appealing after using YABS, Glossy Coat 2, and Aero Bird Pro. I think this feather is unique, and high quality, and worthy of a five star (which i have rated it just now). A recolor with blue buttons would also be something that i'd look forward too. You also need to finish that miniplayer. :P
starke
Nicely done! I don't really know about the alternating colors thing, as I can't compare =P, but with the other changes, I don't think it's a problem. I checked around menus and things too, and everything seems to look and feel great. I'd just reiterate what others have said about colors. A few options would be killer. Only thing I can seem to complain about now is the lyrics pane. With the green there, I started to think a better word for this feather would be "toxic" as in toxic green. I prefer the bluequote-lite at the moment. Take a peek at it in tangent with your feather to see what I mean about the colors. Any other advice I can't think of at the moment. Solid work!
starke
(wish I could just edit my comments. i should just wait as i always think of something right after...) In regard to the lyrics pane, I think it's just the gray background that seems cheap to me. Take a peek. =) And about the "toxic" comment, I think it has to do with the darker shades of gray? I dunno. Green and white is cool, but green and gray is meh. I'd say play around with ways to toss in white without making things hard to see. Sorry for so many posts. >_<
slugicide
Looks really nice. One problem I see is: the last.fm "loved" and "ban" icons in the main display are invisible until mouse-over.
yew
@LIB53 Thanks for the praise! I will look into the Unfocused Rows, i never thought they were important (i see they are a bit distractive with filter panes though) but i think the tabs are fine, they will probably stay as is. The miniplayer is the next thing on my list! Also there will be more colours, starting with Blue, just after i finish everything with this one, so there wont be any "base" stuff that needs editing for multiple skins. Glad you liked the Media Flow, and thanks for the 5 stars!
@starke Actually i didnt work on the lyrics pane much, so its just skinned with the Feathers other colours, now i see it can be a little bright, and maybe i will add some graphics. Its actually an initial skin, just for people who would like a matching lyricsmaster. I think you will be happy with it once i work on it =) Also I'm happy that you liked the menus, but i think they need more work, i wasn't much creative with them, and i think they will be so much better on the next release too. Thanks for all the support and feedback, and i see no problem with many posts as long as they are helpful like that = ) thanks again.
@slugicide Glad you liked it! and thanks for mentioning that, i had no idea as i dont use Last FM or the add-on, but i must as well make sure every add-on looks fine with my skin. I'll sure implement the Loved and Ban buttons with the next release! Thanks again and keep watch =)

Are you planning on making a miniplayer for this, because it's awesome...
yew
i sure am. just very busy with schools, and my mid-term exams are starting next week, so unfortunately there will be no updates till the end of the month. =(
next release will have both a mini-player and a pure-player. also some minor fixs and a revamped options menu (the present one is just temporary, one can easily notice the absence of style. =) )
and thanks for the praise. =)
brianmel
can you say how you make to see only one column in the media flow view ?
yew
by using images that follow eachother, as in colour or darkness, so when you put them below another, it seems like there s only one column.
i hope this helped :S
you can always check the source file,its pretty self-explanatory.
good luck!
LIB53
Aer you going to update this for Songbird 1.2.0? It was a really good part of the Songbird feather collection.
naegling
One of the best feathers I have tried by far - and Ive tried the likes of YABS and Kakadue. Keep up the good work mate! I agree with LIB53 - love the media flow effect in this feather, adding different colours (making it predominantly blue, red etc) would be brilliant.
5 stars all the way...hell Id give you 6 if I could :)
naegling
PS: I can't wait for the pure player compatible release!
yew
@LIB53 thanks for the notice, i updated it =)
@naegling, thanks for all the good words, i hope i will be able to spare time for all the suggestions soon =)
