Yea I'm not sure about how to incorporate the logo without causing 
hassles later.

I didn't realize that it was in Virtual DJ. I guess this is up in the 
air then.

I like the sliders with the hovering, and I think it blends better with 
knobs that are similar to Jus's WXGA/UXGA skin.

I think you're right. Based on looking at the skin it seems like it's 
hard to trim at any given point. Maybe if the PFL and FX buttons were 
shrunk to half-size, and the vertical padding around them was halved. 
*shrug* That might look bad.

Currently there is no way to customize the color and disabled color of 
loops in the waveform overview, but there should be. Also, cue_point is 
not shown.

I will fix both of these issues before 1.8.0 is released. In the 
<Overview> section use:

<LoopColor>
<LoopDisabledColor>
and for cues/hotcues:
<CueColor>

Because those are what I'll read from the skin for the colors.
