kperri:
Thanks for comments!

I currently don't have anyway to edit psd files so I just used some simple MS paint skills to make the port.
What is the name of the font in the original wps, maybe I can fix it in some way.

Also, I know that layout is kinda weird, but it really didn't look right any other way.

ZincAlloy:
You can download a 30 day trial version of Photoshop CS3 from adobe.com - which I recommend you to use, since the writing has a highlight applied to it.
The font is Arial Black.

MarcGuay:
Photoshop makes it much easier to work with the faded background too...

As for the Next Song thing I see two possible solutions:

1) Get rid of the yellow "Next Song" bar and replace it with a simple "Next Song: blah blah by the blah blahs" text line like the other ones (you could compensate for the extra space with larger album art or a larger font size if it's needed), or

2) Switch the current song progress bar & song times with the next song bar & info.

Or leave it, maybe I'm the only one who thinks it's doesn't make sense...

crzyboyster:
Hey, I'm almost done with the nano version, in case someone wants to steal my port when I've done about 80% of it. Here's a preview and mosy of it works, I just need to open up the background in photoshop and move the progress bar a few pixels up. Also, what's with the repeat icons? They all have different names, but how are we to know the difference between each, there's practically none... Please leave feedback, as I can still make lots of changes and then release it.

P.S. Do I get my name in the credits for doing this? Thanks

Note: I converted this screendump from a .bmp to a .jpg and that's why its a bit blurry, but it's not like that at all on the actual thing.

not too bad, but I think it needs cleaner graphics. This isn't an easy port at all.

There's two options:
a) ditch the highlighting effects and go for a simple black and white. Basically a black and white version of Yohann Miquitta's original Cabbie theme.
b) make full use of the players grayscale capabilitys and design completely new icons and bars using the basic shapes of Cabbie 2.0. Take a look at how other people have achieved great results at that task. Chris Berkeley's themes are a good example, but there's many more to find at the wps gallery.
