just finished it... obviously it isn't much compared to the one's most of you guys have. but i've got the things i need & its workin fine for me!
new screenshot (don't forget to add the '?' at the end of the URL).
used the "edges" font for the playlist text & for the status bar text i used the "snap" font. found these fonts in the font pack i downloaded from
http://www.desktopian.org/bbplaylist background color: RGB(0,0,0) or BLACK
playlist selection color: RGB(125,125,125)
