its a little premature. there are a number of known issues I am working on (no "show stoppers"). I will patch them in the coming week. Right now I am waiting for yet more graphical tweaks before moving on.
Also key bindings are not quite complete but release 6b should see yet more improvements to them including much more aesthetically pleasing focus rings in the music module.
Please enjoy and tell me what you all think.
================
Note: works best on a resolution between 800x480 and 800x600 anything higher wont scale well for now

Public Release 6-
Main Application
New Features: obtained a degree of resolution independence tho the interface will likely look quite silly on anything much higher than 800x600 or much lower than 800x480
expanded key bindings to the preference window
added some more key bindings (o is bound to the options button, x is bound to close/back buttons)
key bindings have been extended to the main options (still buggy)
user preferences are now retained after app termination
added a clock formatting preference, however, it can only be changed by editing the preference file manually. I can help with that.
Bug Fixes: clock now updates immediately on app launch.
Changes: updated the nonfunctional modules to have a background (were previously transparent) to prevent confusion if they were accidently opened
dial now works on its coordinate system instead of the base coordinate system to facilitate resolution changes
window classes now draw their backgrounds from the same source image, reducing memory footprint and slightly increasing performance
Known Issues: options window can loose its key bindings
Music Module
New Features: completely rewrote the way NBB finds and displays album art. now has compatibility with ANYTHING that leopards quick look will render (yes this includes album art downloaded by itunes)
added more key bindings.
user preferences are now retained after app termination
added EXPERIMENTAL scroll as you drag for the music browser (as an option in the module prefs)
Bug Fixes: fixed a bug where NBB would look for the itunes XML file in the wrong directory causing NBB to crash
Changes: disabled album artwork in the visualizer. the new artwork engine wasn't compatible. will make a comeback as an optional feature.
mouse will now always hide when visualizer is active regardless of mouse visibility preference
NBB will now automatically find your itunes library for real this time (not just a guess)
Known Issues: graphical issues on the bottom bar throughout the module
key bindings are not yet complete
