I must say I'm impressed, you've even taken care of a wish I made time ago
to hide the BPM info :)

Ok, here are my thoughts. There's a lot of things, keep in mind I say all
this with a constructive attitude and that this is just my personal opinion
:)

-I love the spinnies, they are neat and cool. However, they are a bit
deformed near the gap, you can see this when they spin.

-The buttons next to the overview waveform don't follow the same layout
than the latest Deere and Shade (PR #639
<https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/639>). In particular, the crossfader
assign button is missing. We could add the slip mode button to LateNight
and Shade as well to keep consistency between skins. We could ditch the key
lock switch to make room for the slip mode button, it would be better
placed next to the key knob like it already is in Deere.

-When on 4 decks mode, if I switch to stacked waveforms, the window becomes
too big for my screen which is annoying. This option should be disabled if
the user's screen is too small. If this is not possible with the current
codebase maybe we can omit this feature for 1.12, we already have LateNight
for people wanting stacked waveforms.

-The buttons of the mixer are tiny, difficult to see if the DJ is at a
distance from the screen and they can't be easily clicked.

-I would ditch the skin settings pane. It's clever, but is not standard
among skins. From my point of view, we should avoid custom skin CO and
confine ourselves to the standard CO until we have a way to fully integrate
these skin specific CO to Mixxx (make them appear to the view menu for
example).
    -The view section is already managed by the view menu in (PR #639
<https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/639>).
    -The option to show cover art either on the spinnies or the title is
cool. We could add this to all skins and add a new default CO.
     Otherwise I wouldn't include it to 1.12. The same for hide/show bpm
and track info.
    -For the samplers and FX advanced mode we already have the
corresponding show/hide CO. They also have a button on the skin.
    -Maximize library needs a button right on the skin. The upper bar is a
good place.

-I don't see a point on being able to hide the library when no other
widgets take advantage of the space it leaves. I would disable this option
in these situations, like the latest LateNight does (PR #639
<https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/639>).

-The slip mode spinny keeps running when the cue button is pressed. But
this might be a bug in Mixxx.

-The look of the faders is not consistent with the look of the knobs.

-The skin minimum width needs to be increased a bit.

-We could show more cue points automatically with a SizeAwareStack.

-The loop and beat jump numbers could be decreased with a right click.
Also, can be deck-independent?

-Just opinion: what if we make the colors darker?
