Could you be more specific about those scrollbars?

We had this discussion before Smile

- it's just the U++ style that TheIDE and all U++ apps have - the navy/ dark blue look as opposed to the lightish blue of standard Windows scrollbars. I tried creating my own scrollbar colour scheme and came to the conclusion that the standard Windows scheme at least has minimal interference with the main look of an application, it's neither nice nor ugly. When I added enough items to the ultimate player to get scrollbars, it immediately struck me once again that I prefer the Windows default benign look. The best colour scheme I could come up with of my own was light purple outline, white-ish interior and black arrows and handles.

Trying to use this http://www.nutrocker.co.uk/scrollbarcolor.html
to create nice scrollbar colour scheme is mission impossible for me.

Regarding 30 characters - the track title was
"SCHUBERT:Fantasie for Violin and Piano in C-, Op.post.159, D.934" from here
http://www.classicalarchives.com/schubert.html

but it's 22 MB even when 7 Zipped (almost same as non-zipped size) and I can't really send it anyway coz it's not free - but there are some free downloads on that site that probably have long titles e.g. search for "free" here

You have to log in to get them.

Actually I may have just found a slight bug in your player. I played a ".mid" file - I had to type in *.mid in the filename section to see it. After I played it, the Ultimate player wouldn't play anything else!! - clicking stop and selecting another track and it always tried to play the mid file.
Now I go and add another (mp3) file to the playlist and it's stuck on that file ... Smile
