Normally I'm not a fan of the dark themes, but I like it better than their light one. I’m hoping they keep the dark theme updated as well.

It was there for the default theme, but when I switched to the Rubberducky downloaded skin it disappeared. I couldn't find anything in the menu's to turn on the left sidebar again... so I don't know if their is a feature somewhere that allows you to enable/disable the left sidebar? curtissthompson wrote:

It is visible in the picture on the theme’s addon page that I linked to above, but when installed in SongBird 0.7 I can’t seem to find a way to get that left sidebar back. Any ideas?
