Cool one ;)
One of the best feathers I have seen for songbird! One idea is to lighten up the diagonal stripes in the current song box(the box with the bird in the middle/top-center). Keep up the good work.
So damn nice!
One thing though, the progress window is really annoying with those stripes. I hope you don’t intend to keep it like that …
But this is a great first job :)
Love it.
the stripes don’t really annoy me, but wondering if it were possible to round-off the edges of the progress window at all?
Btw love the fields background from the screenshot, where’s it from?
Thank you, I’m glad you like it.
I will try to round the corners, but that throws off the stripes, which i might remove remove later due to what people are saying.
I got the background from interfacelift.com
The exact link : http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details.php?id=1545
The changes look great! I kind of like the stripes so don’t get rid of them. :)
Nice–I like how the shuttle controls buttons pop.
Thanks for the comments. I really do appreciate it. Now how about rating this feather? Who knows, this could be one of the most popular. :P
may I suggest you remove left pane and make it one with the background?
I don’t know how… :(
Simply put the leftpane background as transparent and there you’ve got it!
I did it myself with this feather to try it out, and I thought it looked nice :)
But, its your call.
Where do I go to edit that. I really can’t find it.
An editing leftpane backgrounds for morons would definitely be nice :)
Btw, removing the left pane background gave me a sweet idea, so I’m very eager to know how to do this.
I could send you a copy of a transparent version if you want me to, but you’ll find leftpane editing in the colors.css , simply set the values desired for that pane t o transparent and remove (if any) code that includes leftpane pictures from the images.css code and it should be transparent.
As I said, I could with no problem put a link to a version without pane to help you if you want, just let me know and good luck!

Thanks a lot. It worked. I didn’t see much of a difference though, but i kept it anyway. I was also able to learn a bit more about the CSS and have began working on a couple new things to push it up to 2.0.
Something that’s bothering me though is that i added an image to the background of the focused row, yet when songbird starts up, I still see the gray highlight it starts out with. What I did to achieve this was I went to images.css and added:
.servicepane-tree > treechildren::-moz-tree-row( selected current focus )
{
background-image: url(‘chrome://songbird/skin/backgrounds/shadow.png’) !important;
s/** Selected Focus Row */
}
(Don’t know what !important is, but i doubt that matters right now)
if you put !important after a piece of code it might help as the !important value, as I’ve understood it, can force certain things to work in songbird.
best theme ever come accross^^
really nice.
favorite skin so far
I love this feather!.
but …. the Mini Media Player doesn’t seem to want to stay on top of all windows. I don’t know if this is new to 0.6 or not.
thanks for this!
Weird. It does do that to me too, and only on this feather. I’ll try to figure it out, but i don’t really even know where to start looking. :(
Hm, well now I realize that other Feathers do the same thing for me in Mini-mode… I suspect its something to do with Sb and not Glossy (?) ...
Strange that its not the same for you, LIB53
My only other feather is rubberducky. lol. Did you try that one?
Yes, that’s why I thought it was only Glossy at first, because it was my only other feather as well.
So I installed a bunch of others to test them for the problem, and all the feathers besides Rubberducky lose their ‘stay on top’ function. Rubberducky still works as expected tho…
This is only on my Windows version of Sb, haven’t tested it out with the Mac yet.
So it isn’t only my skin that does that. phew.
I really don’t have anymore work on this skin, or so i think. If anyone requests stuff, I won’t mind, but I’m thinking about making a windows media player 11 skin clone. I mainly made this one as a little bit of a test to see how songbird skinning works.
I love the piano finish type themes. Very nice.
Probably the best theme for SB. If I can give you a suggestion, make the same in grey (like an other popular player). That will be easy to motivate some communities to join SB. Great job, really!
I tried to do it in white/grey, but i couldn't do it. I'm not that good yet. I just can't make grey seem shiny, or white. I just don't understand the colors. I've tried looking up some photoshop tutorials, but i got nothing. If you know something that would help, i would really appreciate it. Thanks for the comment. It made my day. :)
Ok LIB53, I'm trying to do it just on a JPG and I give you the file. I don't promise anything but I will try to make it. Thank again! well job!
Very well....!!!! thx 4 all
Whatever, I like the stripes. Nice work. Simple, but it's cool.
Excellent, sinple and pretty, just like me!
This is my favorite theme so far! An update for 0.7 would be much appreciated!!
I love this theme, please, please make a theme like this for Firefox!
@tuxracer: ??? it is for 0.7. lol.
ah sorry. The preferences pane is messed up and I have compat override enabled so I assumed it just wasn't meant for 0.7.
@ It is a rubberducky based theme. Among my list of "songbird skins to make" a Gonzo glossy coat port ranks pretty high. That could be a future solution to your problem.
Nice skin :)
Nice try but it messed up my playlist: I could not enter numerical values and the alignment of buttons in the various dialogs was not very pretty. Also, the 'sticky' feature (?), was this intended?
@ceyeber62
Alot of those errors are from being a rubberducky based skin. I don't think i'll be able to fix them unless i switch this to gonzo. I really am planning on switching it gonzo, but i'm pretty busy with other stuff right now, so you'll just have to wait.
Just downloaded it and really really like the look. My favorite so far. Not sure yet how stable it is but based on looks really hopes it works out. Thanks for the hard work. Agree with the one reviewer - a similar firefox theme would be great too.
It worked at first
and I liked it
but I don't know what I did
because the Glossy Coat doesn't work anymore
it want back to the original skin
and I did NOT Disable it
can any one help me?
@kevin
check if you have the latest rubberducky dependencies installed. This an old school theme and requires that stuff. Any bugs can only do with that.
no that didn't work
ok but
I think I know what happened
so I was was trying different skins so I disabled Glossy Coat
I like Glossy Goat better so I uninstall the outer and enable Glossy Coat
and Glossy Coat didn't work
so i try what it did to an other skin and it did the something
