[release] My Mp3 player (Need gui ideas)

Well I released this in the CA section and they all said the gui sucks...well I like it. This is the most advanced thing I have done, a lot of coding (well for me) so I really dont care for gui lol. Well try it out source is included.

Notes:
Minor problems like if the song has a long name it will over flow in the label and go out of the program...

Alot of features like auto next song

All my work (with some minor issues fixed by google

) aka no copy and paste work going on

Hotkeys (Works in CA):

Up - Moves up one on the list
Down - Moves down one
Left - Stop
Right - Play selected

I added the whole thing incase you want to help me out

VS: (Do you need two of them?

)
VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner

CA Mp3 player.rar - Jotti's malware scan

SS:

If you want to help me out please give me ideas on what to Add/Delete on anything or GUI ideas

Edit: Forgot credits
Credits:
Jason - For string.dll
Me - coding

xD Im noot saying like its bad, Its just bcuz its only buttons and black xD
No images , no background..

But its cool xD

Rules to a good GUI:

Code:

Only use as much space as you need, however, don't cramp the form.
    -Big buttons, extra form space, etc aren't needed, and they give the program an amateur look.
    -On the contrary, making it confusing by adding too many forms, controls, and options, make it cramped and hard to navigate

Make the colours match. 
    -Pick good looking colours that blend together nicely.
    -Some people prefer to pick one colour (i.e. blue) and use different shades of the colour for the controls.
    -Gradients of two completely unrelated colours look horrible. The last thing anyone want's to see is a Neon Green/Red gradient.

Keep it organized.
     -Menubars, groupboxes, etc. make great additions to the organization of the form.
     -DON'T OVERDO IT. Refer to rule 1.

Approved, also.

Opinions:

Put a background.
Put the buttons with the same horizontal space.
Resize the form to take the free space..
Change some colours...

Add a menustrip, hotkeys info, change background, add groupboxes etc..

But then it would be nice!

I think it looks 100% better

but I have NO ideas for a background

What's with the extra space?

Get rid of some of the blank space on the right, top, and in between controls. Leave about 10px of space between everytthing.

I pressed control z too much thanks lol

got a background idea?

Make one..?

You should compare that GUI to any standard Mp3 player out there, and you will know whats wrong with it.

Give it some love... ^^

Photoshop!

Put on google images:

Texture "ANY COLOUR"

Like:

Texture black..

Will show good backgrounds..

Textures generally don't blend well with other controls.
