This seems great, two slightly stupid comments on aesthetics. On Mac OSX the green / yellow / red minim is very non Mac like. Normally these indicator boxes are transparent.

Your comment isn't stupid, but I don't know how to handle this, as the colour of the icon indicates the current status. There are five colours:
Green = running normally
Yellow = starting or stopping
White = stopped
Red = error
Grey = waiting for remote instance of MinimServer to start

How could these five states be presented using a transparent icon? I suppose the normal running state could be transparent, and all the others could have their current colours. How does that sound?

Sorry, but I don't understand the context of this comment. If MinimServer finds an error, it turns the minim icon red and displays a pop-up message with ! in the message box. What change are you suggesting?

Quote:The other is the control point server name could do with an option on the preferences, the MinimServer:home.lan is a bit techy.

I'll add a property for this.

Quote:Great work. If you can get a good schema for mixed classical / rock browse trees, I think this app could be a killer for Linn owners.

Thanks! Any suggestions for what such a schema might look like would be most gratefully received. I'm at a disadvantage here, as my collection is 95%+ classical.
