Any chance that Gonzo will be also released as Firefox and Thunderbird themes?

Is Rubberducky going to be available by default as well? I actually prefer the look and feel of the new feather, but I think it would be really good if Songbird came with a couple of different feathers that were truly unique in order to really show off how customizable it is. Right now, all of the feathers that are available are basically just blue Rubberducky or pink Rubberducky, etc.

@maddogeco, @MonoApe I invite anyone to come visit the San Francisco office and hit me over the head if you find any pink in the final release of Gonzo. @Simon Hill Can I suggest you try out one of the media views on the add-on site?

Gonzo looks good but seems to be just a(nother) big list of tracks.

How about some structure? (ie. more like a database report than a spreadsheet!) Having, e.g., tracks grouped under the album they belong to (and the albums under artists or composers or genre etc.). would allow you to click on the album to show/hide the tracks etc.

Problems running it on Ubuntu 8.10: “mainWinInit.js – SBInitialize – ReferenceError: windowPlacementSanityChecks is not defined”

After clearing that I managed to get it up and running.

If lime green, pink and turquoise remain as part of the design, it will get a big thumbs down from me. IMO apps should be neutral and non-intrusive, which generally means monochrome – I want to be able to focus on the colors in images and videos and not be distracted by eye-searing colors in the application.

Or is that too much nit-picking for this stage?

Also, another vote for controls to be at top by default. Locating them at bottom just moves them away from all the other commonly accessed menus. It therefore increases mouse movement with no counter benefit.

@Dani, @stove_pipe Care to elaborate on why you prefer Rubberducky? We want to make sure that Gonzo takes advantage of everything good about Rubberducky and your input would help us greatly!

@Jigar: Rubberducky is still the default feather. You can view Gonzo from the View -> Feathers menu. Is it not an option for you in that menu?
