The plan is to let this skin evolve with MM3 as it goes into beta and RC-stages. This is not a promise list, but more of a wishlist from my side. Four things which are high on the priority for the next changes in my skin are:
The plan is to let this skin evolve with MM3 and it's further improved skinning engine. The following list contains no official information and is subject to change:
# Real Vista-compatibility; menus, dialogs, dropdown menus in Vista-style when you're using Vista and XP-style when you are using XP.
# Real Vista-compatibility: menus, dialogs, dropdown menus, ... in Vista-style when you're using Vista, and XP-style when you are using XP. (Depending on native support in MM)
# There is currently a big empty area if you're using a high-res screen. Don't worry, it would most likely be used by an area where you can switch between a playlist-viewer (custom) and a lyrics viewer. Of course, if you have any ideas to what this area can be used for, send me a PM.
