Just thought I would give some feedback on this feather.
The main problem with this feather is the lack of any contrast. All of the text needs to be a much lighter color, (the playlists, filterlists, faceplate, left pane, all the text on the title bar including the actual title)
The tab background doesn’t tile very nicely, so that will need a quick rework.
And the text on the quick help (or whatever the popup messages are called that appear when you hover over certain things) needs to be lightened so it’s readable.
And six and a half megs for a feather is far too heavy! But I suppose that’s because you also packed the .psd files in there too, but there is no need for them, and you also have extra backgrounds (the blue ones) that aren’t being used, so there is no need for them in the .xpi either.

But since this is a WIP yet, I am sure you will fix these errors. But I still don’t recommend packing the extra images, it’s just way too much to DL for a feather.
Cheers.

The contrast is much better! Perhaps a little weak still, but it’s plenty good for me.

A couple more suggestions, maybe add a Add-on icon for the options window, it’s really simple to do.
And maybe you could change the Songbird title text color next to the file/edit/controls/etc. buttons to be the same as the text next to it.
Again, it’s much better than before! _
Cheers,
John.

I dont know how to make the icon perhaps some pointers?
I like the idea of keeping the title a little brighter so it stands out more, like a title should be
Added more red in menus and lefthand navigation

hope you like :)

The icon is done by getting a 32x32 png and placing it somewhere in the feathers folder. And then in the install.rdf file, you add:
(the path made to go where you placed your icon image) (had to use a picture as I wasn’t able to type the “more than” and “less than” keys since they disappear when I type)
That’s what I’ve done, and it worked on two of my feathers (didn’t work on Dark Super for some reason)

I love it, my only problems are it lacks a distinct border around the edge of the entire thing and the playlist menu is a one block color and could be made better by introducing a second color…

Also, the buttons look like a big blur, it could be made better, but yeah, apart from that it freaking rocks…

Great Feathers but maybe you can change the background image so that is also fits in to a windscreen resolution, because now the picture is loaded twice and that doesn’t relay look pretty.
A highlighting of the actual playing song text would be also nice.
