since there is no way currently of skinning iTunes, i thought of this:
a program that will draw a brushed title bar on the screen, and move and resize itself according to the real iTunes window.
i dont think this should be too hard, maybe one of our great developers make this? 
i know a lil VB, i'll download the MSDN Library discs tonight and will try to make it myselft...
can anyone give me some help about drawing an object with transparant corners on the screen?

I had that idea too, it would need to be able to resize itself and everything too though. I think its possible, but whatever happened it definitely wouldn't look as nice except when the window is staying still. Which is fine because I dont think most people move it around too much. Although I do think going between mini mode and full mode probably wouldn't look so seamless.
Still a nice idea.
yeah i thought about all these problems...
but i hardly use the mini mode or move the window, so for me at least it isnt so disturbing 
i actualy had the exact same idea. Implitation would be nasty and it would probaly eat up resorces, not to meanton that any transparensy in itunes, or even shadows woulnt work, and look nice.
good idea!
i dont know anything about programming except for editing config files which is as easy as it gets so dont ask me for help.
well now my program does almost nothing, it just draws a title bar (moveable, and moves faaaast ) with round corners.
next thing i need to know is how to get the coordinates of the real iTunes window
that's my first program of this type, that gets data from other windows, etc.
i hope i'll succeed doing it!

Grabbing the coordinates and stuff is all common windows API. I think you shouldn't have a problem getting it going.
Good luck
