I made ClipZip themes named tomsway1/tomsway2/tomsway3, interested in feedback.

I couldn't find a theme that had the information I wanted, so finally I gave in to the urge to make it like I wanted and created one.
It is pretty minimalist and text-y.  I wanted title/artist/album/file and next-up information in fixed locations for ease of glancing.
I added alternate tag track # / playlist name / entry number / playlist size / shuffle mode between counters & the progress and vu.
I just used the default status bar, I like predictability.  I liked the 12 Sansation Bold.  Found it more readable with dark-on-light.
I don't typically care about things like file format and album art when  I'm listening to music on a tiny mp3 player, so omitted them.
I separated the line with the 'next up' information at the bottom after the progress and vu bars so as to keep it clearly separate.
I thought about having slightly different background colors for viewport areas to increase usability, but haven't made that call.

Updated it a couple times and added a version with title/artist/album larger and everything else smaller.  Still interested in feedback.

I think I'm done tweaking them.  Still interested in design feedback.

Now I _really am_ pretty much done tweaking and uploading new versions... and still interested in feedback.

They've sort of settled into an 8-line theme, a 7-line theme, and a 6-line theme.
