Hey, there's a lot more been done to achieve this :-). But I'm glad you like it.

This has been mentioned before and considered for change. But I don't like the 
idea as people with little artwork will again complain about the large margin 
to the left. But I'll add your vote anyway.

Eye candy isn't a hard need, just a design decision.

It's no smaller than in the classic skin. But you're right, that you easily 
catch the wrong link. I'll probably have to limit the space where a click on 
the highlight will trigger the descend action.

What do you mean by arrow, btw?

The latest consensus was adding a magnifying glass to it, as titles easily 
would be too large. It's just not implemented yet.

That's on our todo list.

Shuffle/Repeat still are to be done. As I don't have the artwork yet, they sank 
towards the bottom of my todo list.

I thought that it would be the multiple click item. But now that you mention 
it, this could be a drop-down, too. Hmm... let me think about it...

dito.

Very high on my list (expect them to show up this week). Thanks for the 
reminder.
