A dark themed feather with a cloud background.
Description
This is my first feather for Songbird, and it was also my first time working with CSS, but since I didn't do anything really complicated, it was pretty easy (albeit spending all day on this :P).
Hope you enjoy, and comments/critique are appreciated. Thanks.
If you would like to have a higher rez background image, for you with the nice big screens. Here is a 1680x1260 for you guys that now how to change it: http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=backgroundlargerjl3.png
Also, as of 1.0.4.3, I attempted to make the background image as tillable as possible, for widescreen users. I think the background looks slightly less nice, but that's just one of the downfalls. If you don't have a widescreen, I have included the original background, so you can simply rename the file in chrome/skin/backgrounds/ background_old.png to background.png. That's only optional though.
Release Notes
Version 1.0.4.3 Added support up to 0.8pre, and made the background widescreen compatible.

Thanks for this, and your updates.
The fly swatter is great. I think that the text contrast in the play list area, etc., could be a little brighter. Though the menus are very good. It would be interesting to see your clouds appear in the drop downs.
Well done.
Thanks for the comments/critiques! :)
I’ll see what I can do with the contrast, and maybe see what I can do with the drop downs. (And at the same time fix the volume bars, make them go to the end)
Again thanks for the comment :)
I had the same problem as you do. i even posted it here:
http://www.songbirdnest.com/node/2363
apparently the background can appear behind the playlists but you have to set that explicitly now in the images.css file.
where it says this:
sb-playlist
{
/background-image: url( … );/
}
put in this to get the same background as the main window:
sb-playlist
{
background-image: url(chrome://songbird/skin/backgrounds/background.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
then you have to set the opacity of the filterlists and playlists in the colors.css file to be 0.9 or something.
to do so just add:
opacity:0.9;
to the end of all the stuff in the curly brackets. then you should be on your way.
This is great! My favourite so far. Thanks!
Ah! I see!
I feel silly now for not having figured that out before, oh well, live and learn. :)
Anyhow, thank you for the help, I appreciate it!
You’re welcome
*blinks* This is an awe-inquiringly beautiful theme, but it has a nasty "tearing" effect on a wide screen. Can you make the background image tile-able?
tessmonsta: Your wish has been granted.
Hey! What happened? Is update 1.0.4.3 only for 0.8pre? Superkoop, I updated three of my favourite feathers last night, only to find that the update broke them. When displayed the feather was completed transparent. Only the menus text was visible, and the bug button. I've had to uninstall for now. I hope you can fix this soon.
Win XP. Songbird 0.6.1.
Thanks.
Also here Didn't work
Ubuntu 8.04 Songbird 0.6.1.
The preview image shows that is great, i hope you can fix it soon n__n
Background picture repeated in the background and text was not very legible.
