I agree with verso about having the dark blue menus. That would be very Chrome-ish. And it seems this is your first feather Boosh. Good job!

Release Notes
Must be running 1.4.1!
-Updated to the Purple Rain base feather
-Google Chrome tab overlap - it definitely isn't what I wanted to do, but I also don't think it looks too bad... Please comment if you want me to revert back to what I had. (I need to spend some alone time with them to actually get it properly implemented)
-It took a while to update to the purplerain base, and I made some other refinements along the way - so I'm gonna go ahead and call this 1.0 ;-)

@verso, LIB53
Thanks for the comments!
The darker blue border will hopefully come later, I originally based it off Chrome on Vista where it has the tabs surrounded by Aero (drool).. (I tried a darker blue originally, but I couldn't get the color to my likings, So I just kept it light blue for now)
With the new version I matched the color & rounded the borders on the nav-bar (thanks to your Ne+ feather). (The forward buttons should match Chrome's) The tabs are now halfway complete... I'm still trying to figure out how to do the overlap look...
I eventually want to rearrange everything to match chrome to the best of my ability, Like the tabs and Bookmark button on the left...
Again, Thanks for your comments and suggestions, I appreciate it ;-)

this feather convinced me to try songbird again - thank you
sorting out the tabs colours would complete the picture, but simple rounded tabs (like in the options menu) would work, too

@hrnaturli
Well, dang. Thanks! I'm glad that you're using Songbird again ;-)
I'll hopefully be able to figure out the tab overlap thing like Chrome, but did you find the tab colors to be too light? Too dark? Too blue?

@boosh: Great dazzling feather! Only one thing: basic state of scroll buttons aren't clear. At the first look I saw only just squares. Should use lighter background or darker arrow.
I like the hover effect on media buttons too. :P
boosh
@Hiromacu
Thanks!
Ya, definitely.. I like your suggestion! I'll revamp the scroll buttons/bars.. I'm working on another feather right now and messing with the different possibilities of the scroll button/bar hovering effects ;)
p.s. thanks for the love/ban buttons ;-)
boosh
@Hiromacu: actually, now that i read your comment a second time... could you refresh your bird? It might not of shown the actual scrollbar-buttons that i have (i ran into this bug while making the other feather... I'm not sure if it's an error on my part or not... I might have messed up an opacity setting somewhere) ... if it still persists.. screenshot? :P
Hiromacu
@boosh: OK I refreshed and now it's looks good! Perfect! :)
Screenshot. But you have to do something with the 'Downloads' window.
:P
Hiromacu
@boosh: Oh and your welcome (love/ban buttons). ;)

wow, fantastic, i love it! i'm not sure if i should compliment you or google for their original design. for now, i'll just give you props though, google gets enough attention.
boosh
@Oasis1489
Ha. Thanks! I'm a Google freak - and probably give them too much attention myself, so that's where it came from...
verso
Hi, can you skin Spotbird Artist Browser? - Thank you!
boosh
Definitely! Thanks for letting me know, verso!
verso
Way to go. (-:press:-)
boosh
Thanks verso! I actually have 7 minute version of that demo coming too, that showcases all the feathers and a more in depth introduction. (That one I had to cut a bunch out and increase the audio tempo by 15% to get it within 5 minutes, so im kinda robotic sounding there)
verso
Looks good, thank you! (Now when do we get to see the director's cut?)
jabapyth
excellent! love the theme
verso
First Purple Rain based feather - and looking N!CE - thanks a lot!

Really good start (all good things spring from boredom ;-). You've done a wonderful job with the hover effect on media buttons. I have a few suggestions, I hope you don't mind:
I miss the darker blue color in the main menu area; the borders of nav-bar buttons should match the ones in the media pane. Also: have you thought about modifying the layout a bit (at least change the look of tabs, or maybe rearrange the forward/back buttons so they would mimic the ones in Chrome browser)?
I hope your boredom continues ...
