There are no borders around the menus, only drop shadows. If the background is pure black then there’s no color darker to provide contrast. This is also why you almost never see pure black used as a background. If we added another parameter to the themes we could set the drop shadow color and make it a glow instead of a shadow for pure black but glow wouldn’t always be appropriate either, for example if you have cover backdrop enabled with a low alpha blend value on a light colored album cover, etc...
We could try a very subtle border in addition to or as a replacement for box-shadow. Something like below looks pretty good :-)
border:1px solid rgba(128,128,128,0.2);

This can be very painful for my ears  
I think that, whatever you put in the ALSA volume, should stay there, no matter what, until you manually change it...
ALSA Volume setting will go back to 100% after saving MPD settings
BTW: restarting MPD service does not change this setting.
I agree.
I hate when it does back to 0% for any change.
(And I would probably hate it if it went always to 100%).
It should stay the old value.

Volume is set to 0 only for those configuration changes that alter the MPD volume mixer setting or if you change the audio device in System config. Auto-play is also turned off in these cases to ensure that playback does not automatically begin just in case the volume setting became corrupted and was left at a high value. These are just safety measures.

Will investigate

Are you referring to MPD DB update on a single folder?

Hello,
many thanks for this new Version. Installed without a problem. At the moment the system is scanning the Files.
I've been clicking around but was not abble to find the setting for "Gaples Audio Playback". Is this gone? Or is it always on. Perhaps I'm blind
Kind regards

In MPD 0.21 series "gapless mp3 playback" is enabled by default.

Can I try this somewhere to check if it suites me?

Turns out that a bug was causing insufficient contrast in the menu background (thx @swizzle). No need for subtle borders.
The fixes will be in the next patch for moOde 5 beta :-)

Created a new radio station and added artwork/logo.... all good and shows in the radio browser after a refresh and library and thumbnail update just for good measure...
However, selecting the station to play does not show the artwork... just stays at the default MooDe grey logo...
Is this correct behaviour or is there something else to be updated ??
