Well in response to phaedrus' extremely wordy rendition of "the volume sliders suck" I would like to say this. If you are familiar with any kind of imaging program you can go into the program and change the actualy graphic that MJ8 uses as a display for the player window and the volume and track position sliders. Ive done it myself and have fully customized my disabled skin mode to completely match the color scheme of my system. now this is one of those instances where if you dont have knowledge of the program and how to use an imaging program (paintshop pro, photoshop) then youre just stuck with what youve got. Sometimes it pays to get nosy with a program. Now im not going to give exact directions on how to do that because i dont want to step on any toes over there at JRiver. Especially since they are soo very good at helping people out and keeping this interact board thriving. But dig around in the program and see what you can find, youd be amazed.
