Nice. :)

Some suggestions:
- The stop button seems to be a bit tiny?
- Why not fullscreen? Menu and Quit are in your "menu", so there's no real need for menu or title bars...
- If not already done: The playlist layout would be a nice template for the selection dialog
- Maybe play and stop buttons in the playlist window would be nice, to have at least minimal control without having to change the screen.
- Prev./next list in the "player" window would be nice, too. You could place them like the stop button is placed now, and replace the big "equalizer" with two similar small round buttons for EQ (with an equalizer symbol?) and stop. See attached image... (With "Equalizer" for the preset)
- A QVGA version would be really nice...
- And maybe landscape support?
- OK, maybe I'm becoming too demanding... ;)

I may have to make some changes after the creator himself replied to my first skin post!

Thanks for the advice. The tweaks look good! I am definitely going to put an equilizer button in!

Looks great, mikesss!
I never tried MortPlayer on a VGA device yet, but you've tempted me to do so.

It's not quite finished yet. I still need to tweak some of the buttons, then I will put it up

OK, after some tweaking, the skin is now, in my opinion, complete. I have put a stop button in the playlist (you can play items in the playlist by clicking their names), and the equilizer button is now a symbol. Also playlist switching from the player page. Do you think it needs any last touches before I put it up?

What's visible on the screenshots looks really great.
What (maybe) remains are nice scroll buttons (well, they're always a bit difficult because the positions of down+right vary and there's no transparency support currently... maybe it's best to use the default with "transparent" borders...), the selection dialog, the wait popup, and maybe an alarm screen (I'd recommend something similar to the player window with two big buttons for snooze and stop).

If you don't know how else to waste your time, landscape support and a darker version with grey background (for use at night) would be nice. But it's really great the way it is, too.

I left the menu in because I thought about how I use my mp3 player. I often use other programs while simultaneously playing music, and it would be better to have quick access to the start menu to open other programs. The smart minimise is also useful in the top task bar.
