    Those reflections looks much nicer, Harley! The icons and everything else all look very nice as well.

    Update of Progress !

    Hi all,

    i have add a couple of new screenshots to first post.
    Picturepart and Muiscpart is now full working. Videopart is in Progress now.

    You can see now some more specials the skin has, like the Nowplaying "VU Animation" the new Videoverlay and a lot more.
    Also the Infoscreens are done now, with complete other style and Specialbuttons.
    I have add there some other nice stuff, but can not show it as screenshots.

    Hope you like it.

    Very nice! I have some thoughts:

    In this view:
    49050d1256250047-fidelity-w-i-p-new-screenshots-23-10-2009-music-artist-info.jpg


    How about adding two different shades for these labels as they're pretty far away from the information to the right:
    Actor
    Born
    Years active
    Genres
    Tones
    Styles

    This would make it much easier for your eyes to find the right line of sight.

    Also, in the filmstrip view, the reflections look very thick and bright, perhaps a bit less of them would look even better?

    ok, clock will be removed ;)

    Harley:)

    fyi, i'm starting work on a clock plugin, which can be used in skins to display a realtime analog clock.
    Still need to figure out how to lay the 2 clock handles transparently over the clock background and create a transparent png out of it.
    But i think it can be done.

    still fighting with the rotation of the clock handles, since the standard windows drawing function doesn't center them.
    i have a routine in place, which does it almost correct, but still has some pixels offset. it doesn't look nice.

    found an open source image processing lib, which would do it correctly, but they don't support rotation of 32 bpp images. and we need to have it 32 bpp, because of the transparent background.
    will research further, but it might take more time than i thought initially.
