(this is not an MPQ bug)

UI spec has using two different text colors on the two lines in album list screens. Currently it appears that our skin code does not allow for separate fg and sh parameters for individual lines.

that is, if I do this:
text = {
       line = {
            {
                     font = _boldfont(c.ALBUMMENU_FONT_SIZE),
                     height = c.ALBUMMENU_FONT_SIZE + 2,
                     fg = c.TEXT_COLOR,
                     sh = c.TEXT_SH_COLOR,
             }
        },
      fg = { 0xB3, 0xB3, 0xB3 }, 
      sh = c.TEXT_SH_COLOR,
},

the fg and sh params inside the "line" table are ignored, and both lines are given the same fg treatment from the top level "text" table.

this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.

Reassigning for comment: Is there a specific case were we want this sooner than 
later?

Tom- mixing font styles Bold/Medium would be a first priority.  Mixing font color would be second IMO.

Examples:

1. *Search* - Artists

Where "Search" is in Bold and "Artists" is Medium.  The basic guideline would be anything after a "-" would be in a different style.

2. Within Albums (tracklist)

1 Track Title

Tom, I think this goes to you. Retarget as you see fit.

7.4.x milestone is in the past

this types of enhancements would now require new engineering resources. there is no one on staff to do widget C enhancements.
