I'm very disappointed to hear that.
I can't retrace it but it was mentioned here once:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =4&t=80889
but from past discussions I was left with the impression that MM5 will allow us to
easily create skins using a
powerful new skin engine. "Users wont need to learn a complicated code-oriented software, it will be almost all graphic-oriented.
I'm not really active in MM5 development and I may be wrong to think that relying on html/CSS for coding graphic components is complicated, it seems it will be worse than it is now.
I won't mention the countless days/hours I spent with the archaic
Theme Editor 7 and CSS files on different plugins (what a headache to change a simple thing as one font/color)...
To conclude, it also confirm that all the current skins we like in Mediamonkey won't be available in MM5.
Don't be surprised I still use (and love) my Mediamonkey version 3. It has everything I need.
Version 4 was too much for me, and version 5 seems out of reach.
Long life to MediaMonkey, anyway.
