Other than that, the info only pops up automatically during track changes.
I've never known a skin where that wasn't the case.
So i guess there was a change in a previous mod version, bc i don't remember seeing that in Eminence.
-----------------------------------
btw i found a bug, don't know if it was mentioned yet:
Settings, interface, change colour.
If you try to change visualisation in music osd settings now, nothing can be seen in the pop-up, where you can normally chose between fanart etc.
Kudos on noticing both these issues!
I've been digging around trying to see the how and the what concerning the Music OSD. I'm thinking that the expected behaviour was broken when the OSD was first modified. In order to maintain the universal menu button includes, the OSD itself was placed "outside" the same layer that would ensure it's toggling with the i button. The skin structure considers the OSD to be a kind of an addition, like the lyrics panel. In fact, it makes sense that a separate hide/reveal option was introduced to counter this deficiency, and avoid thorough revisions. I've just found a way that seems to work, but it'll need to be tested out.
As far as the other bug is concerned, I'm still digging into it, I don't see any reason why a theme would influence a window's usability.
Anyways, thanks for the sharp eye, keep 'em coming!

one quick question: i can´t figure out how to get the transperancy for the list view panel like on screenshot 21 of 69 in the first post. On the Homescreen, no Problem for widgets and Home bar. But not for the List Panel. Can you help me there?
Thanks, Jhag
In that screenshot, I used the dark interface setting (Skin Settings / Background / "Use dark interface"). I then changed the Background / "Background color and opacity" to a 30-40% transparent black colour. And that's it! This setting controls the transparency for all the backgrounds in all the views. For readability, high transparency backgrounds work best with dark panels.
In the mentioned setting you can pick any colour for the background tint, but dark colours work best (dark blue/ultramarine, black, gray, dark brown etc.). Adding transparency to them adds a beautiful and unique look to the skin, especially when you reach 50% transparency, then you get a nice combo of a colour tint and a transparent effect. In my use, I prefer the semi transparent black or gray colours.
