While trying to see if a TrackInfo Plugin can have a Transparent Background I discovered some problems/discrepancies when Skin Effects are applied to a Skin when a TracInfo Plugin is in use.
I set MC playing in Standard View with a TrackInfo Plugin that has a transparent background instead of it's usual solid colour one, I then told MC, via View >> Skin >> Skin Effects... >. Effects to "Invert" the skin.
Problem 1 - I had to stop MC playing and restart it to get the Inverted Skin Effect to be reflected in the TrackInfo Display Panel
Discrepancy 1 The Skin Effect is applied to all the customised small-icons/images in the Tree, Top and Bottom Toolbars but if the skin is using MC's Standard small-icons/images then only the ones in the tree are changed.
Problem 2 - After removing the Inverted Skin Effect I had to stop MC playing and restart it to get it to use the correct TrackInfo Background.
I also looked to see what would happen if I changed the skin in use with no Effect and the Inverted Skin Effect being applied.
In every instance when I switched TrackInfo Plugin the background colour for the previous Skin was being used but if I then switched to displaying cover art and then reselecting the TrackInfo Plugin it reloaded with the Current Skins background colour.
The attached Pix01 Gallery, which has the point when each screenie was taken as their caption, shows the above problems/discrepancy
