With the standard Noire skin it is very hard to see the drop down menus (e.g. right click in details pane, etc.).
These drop downs are:
1) White with a white background
3) Have no border.
I like transparent menus, but with the current design they make matters worse.
I looked at about 20 other skins to see how they handle it, and all of them use either a border and/or a slightly different color.
Can this be fixed?

I modified the Noire skin to disable the transparent menus for this and other reasons. You can grab it here:

When I get to it, I'll upload it to the skins page.

Glynor,
SolidNoire is a definite improvement. Thanks for making it available.
But I think JRiver should also fix the menu. It should only require a small cosmetic adjustment.

I agree completely. Just in case you hadn't seen the other thread, I thought I'd mention it.

I’ve been using it for awhile, but your post will help the flood of new beta testers. Have you put it on the Media Center download page yet?
-
Nah... Not yet. I really should... ::)

Actually, it looks like my MC12 has lost the transparency in many of the Noire's menus. Some of them are transparent and some of them are white. Perhaps I should reboot the PC.

I'm still seeing transparent menus with 12.0.87.

Where the heck is the skin upload page? I can't find it.
EDIT - Nevermind. I found it. The link really should be on the page that displays the skins, rather than only in the DevZone.

If I set the Noire skin to display in negative color, I cannot recognize the back and forward arrows as they are also black!
-
Yeah, I've posted this in the build threads a few times. (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=36135.msg246338#msg246338) No action yet.

The Back, Forward, and Refresh are also black, so they don't show up with Noire Negative.

But the mouse over help still works - if you know where to look.

Well... yeah. The buttons themselves still work too, if you know where they are. That's pretty silly though, having to hunt around for them.
Also, it's not just Noire negative. It's the Positive version of the skin too. The Back button is slightly visible, but the others are basically completely invisible on a properly calibrated monitor.

It does sound dumb, but all I'm saying is that if you are hunting for them, this is a way to find them.

I know... It's all good!
