Quite a few. But I'm afraid my ideas would be hard to implement. For
starters, I would like to see a background image (behind the waveform),
the ability to choose the waveform and graph color, and the translucency
from our mockup... ;-) Oh, a bar showing the position (when playing a
sample) would be useful, too.

Well, more like Battery. Attack is a FM drumsynth. Maybe it would be
feasible to create the channels in a way similar to FL Studio. There,
when you add a channel, you can choose between sample, MIDI, VSTi etc.
I think the best long-term solution would be to make Hydrogen a DSSI
guest as well as a host (FL Studio for example is a VSTi/ DXi, but is
also able to host VSTi's/ DXi's).

We're working on it... :-)

Yes, I think the skin should be ready tomorrow. Christian is currently
designing a matching splashscreen and a new typo for the 'about' dialog.
I had to make some changes in the source, like making all peak displays
the same size (40x18, IIRC), and changing some text colors from black to
white. I'll send you a patch together with the skin.
BTW, I can't find the definition for the "Song Editor" colors...

The "Transport" would be a good start. Do you intend to implement the
pixel fonts from our mockup? If you do, I'll send you the needed
fonts...
