Updated Classic Dark Blue Skin: www.mediafire.com/?q38fn4tv3e8f46y

I ran into a VERY weird issue today which set me back awhile, but I came up with a work around that seems to do its job. For some reason on the classic cyan skin.. the album button just would refuse to show up on a bunch of the older emulators and devices I tested on. I made a copy of that album icon and named it something different.. and everything seemed to work. Im baffled but that fix will have to do for now.

Known issues:
-The skin selector SUCKS. It's really sketchy when trying to scroll left or right. Im not sure why but I plan on improving that part a bunch in the next week before 1.2 goes on the market. Some changes would be to list how many skins are available, the names, and buttons to switch between them instead of relying on the swipe.

-Devices running 4.0+ might experience some weird "focus" issues. The ICS holo dark skin experiences it the least, so I recommend using that. These wont be fixed until i switch everything over to use fragments (hopefully that will fix it). The issue is purely cosmetic, so everything should function properly.

-The vertical EQ bars are slightly off in the ICS Holo skin on the archos 5IT.

1.2 Beta 3:
-Fixed crash when starting a scan using an external skin
-Skins are properly reloaded after a crash
-Classic skins now use ICS style checkbox, spinners, edit text boxes, and buttons
-Rearranged the buttons to fit better in the edit path dialog
-If "NO" is selected on the initial scan popup when you first install, a scan is run using the default settings
-Added ICS holo dark skin (now default)
-Fixed issue with classic skins where the navigation bar button's backgrounds were off
-Updated translations

Classic Dark Blue Skin: www.mediafire.com/download.php?mhsw6bn6lpwxld4

1.2 Beta 2:
-External skin support
-Dark blue skin
-Improved performance of the Artist, Album, Genre, Song, and Browser views
-Fixed playlist fonts
-Adjusted some colors in the silver skin
-Fixed crash in now playing when trying to set metadata

There will be one more beta with the ICS skin + any other fixes. The dark blue skin is a separate apk. All the other colors will be offered through separate apks so the main gmmp apk doesnt get to bloated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

You should be able to install this over the existing version from the market, however when I do finally push 1.2 to the market, I believe you will have to manually update it at least once before you start receiving the auto updates again.

What is not in this beta: the ICS skin and external skins (in separate apks). Over the next few days I should be able to put up at least one external skin.

What is included:

1.2 Beta 1:
New Features:
-Added skinning system

-Added album art to the album lists (Can be disabled in Preferences -> Library -> Album Library -> Show Album Art)
-Added ability to view/play all songs for a genre or artist, and all albums for a genre
-The tags in now playing are now much more customizable. There are 6 slots where you can select between 15 different tags to display.
(Preferences->Now Playing->Displayed Tags)
-Can now choose between showing icons, text, or nothing before the tags in now playing (Preferences->Now Playing->Tag Display Style)
-Added transparent variation of the 4x4 widget
-Added quality setting for album art downloads (lower quality = smaller file size). PNG downloads ignore this setting
