A quick comment about the "New" new default skin:

I'm a little confused by the repeat and shuffle buttons and tool-tips: 
it seems as though with all other buttons, the tool-tip reports on what
action WILL be taken if the user clicks on the button (pause, clear
playlist, etc) whereas the tool-tips for repeat and shuffle seem to
report the "current state" of these controls.  To me, this seems
inconsistent and confusing.

Or am I just plain confused?

With the "Power" tool-tip, a ":" colon gives the user a clue that the
tool tip is reporting on the state, not the impending action.  Perhaps,
if you don't want to change the logic of the repeat & shuffle tool-tips,
you could change the style to match the power button: e.g. "Repeat: is
off" and "Shuffle: is off", "Shuffle: is by album", etc.

But frankly, I'd be curious to see how folks would respond if the
tool-tips consistently and across the board reported the potential
click-action, not the current state.

That withstanding, I'm loving everything else about the skin...with the
possible exception of the "Morgue at Midnight" green gradient
background.
