how does it work ?

nostra:
It seems like I have all the colors for the list except the default black one :/ I will certainly add a possibility to change the default text color in the list in the near future.

I do have plans in extending the skin engine in future. Not sure yet what feature will really get to to implemented thou.

P.S. I don't think Rick was flaming you on purpose. Just a little misunderstanding... 

Nighthawk:
hello nostra, thanks for response. its really kind of you to looking into it and change that in the future.

for clearance with rick: maybe missunderstandings..i felt flamed and judged just for asking some simple questions, thats why i striked back. i just saw that screen of chase and was impressed and wanted to know, if its possible without hacking/how this works (and i thought from beginning on its a hack but i wanted to clear it) because i read all the manuals and found no way to get something like that.

im also not said "skinengine is not good enough" or anything like that. pvd is of all movie manager i found the best and closest to be perfect for me, thats why im here. there are just this 2 small things what i asked.

It seems there's a reason for that. The users sets preferences for background colours to be used for the item's status. When any item is selected, the program uses a darker shade, and changes the font from black to white. Perhaps allowing a variable light/dark font would help, but the dark skin creator already has a difficult problem—how to choose a set of 'dark' colours, each of which can have a darker shade, and all of which are distinguishable from one another.

I'm still not sure, but it seems the other question has to do with the border around the list and info panels. I've always assumed that, like other parts of the program UI, are Windows elements that cannot be changed by the program. Some can be changed by changing Windows settings. Perhaps others can be changed by hacking the program, but that seems like a bad idea. In any case, it's difficult to see how the skin engine has much to do with this—unless the 'improvement' is to make the entire UI skinnable.

Here's my vote for the live WYSIWYG drag 'n' drop object-oriented editor for the entire UI. ;D
