Questions / Blurred Album art as background for all tabs

« on: November 29, 2021, 08:09:36 PM »

Currently playing track's Blurred Album art as background for all tabs

I randomly chose one image to see how it looks as background and it worked kind of good.
It would be a great update if we could set Album Art blurred as background?

 ... and maybe control for the blurred background image's brightness value to turned down automatically if it's too much or some kind of fade.



reference image for the fading, brightness control, etc.-

Code

‎ 

You won't see it but there's an invisible/empty character inside that code.
You can copy that character and add it after your virtual tag names. e.g (Title‎ )...again you won't see the character but it's there after 'e'.
With this, MB won't flag the names as existing labels.

You've read my mind, I was thinking of invisible character. Thanks

Do you mind accompanying this with a screenshot? I wanna see how it looks.

In your case, in the header it shows as 'Title' - I didn't want to see the '', so I named it Name.
I was hoping to keep the original tag name.

Now that's thinking outside the box.
Thanks to this, I figured out how to work the font size problem.
Virtual tags did the trick. You can adjust those to your liking.

Thanks, this works great, very creative idea. Just one thing bugs me, which is the name of the tag. Since we can't use the original tag, it just looks weird to me.

Preferences/ Layout(1)/ row padding will add extra padding but probably not the amount you want
You can also change the font in the same settings panel

Enabling Artwork in the Track Details view solves this problem, except for the font size. I couldn't change the font size from the arrange panel customization.

Questions / Is it possible to modify the "Track Details" view to include Album Art? (SOLVED)

« on: November 29, 2021, 07:47:58 AM »

To easily distinguish between songs in dense playlist, it would be great if the album art was visible.

Is it possible to modify the "Track Details" view,  so it'll include Album Art in the view?

I know that something similar is possible with Album and Tracks view but that creates huge gaps, resulting in only 4-5 tracks visible even if artwork is scaled down.
That's why being able to include Album Art in the Track Details view would be a great view.

Solution:

If you right-click on the panel header in "Track Details" view you will see the options for Artwork.
Not Displayed

Updated theme

I think it is because of a typo (and a discrepancy) you have at: "Panel.HeaderButtonOverride.Default"
For fg it has:  Hightlight-Text
But the variable is:  HighlightText

Thanks, I fixed it but still not working

The elements above do, so another element somewhere in your skin must be overriding the default color.
Search your skin file for "Override." If you don't have any of those elements, you'll probably need to search "CaptionBar" line-by-line and change any element that looks like a match to a stand-out color.

Still couldn't find anything, but when I right click > configure toolbar > Show buttons in a separate bar > then it shows the color but in goes on top bar with the search bar

From my skin files...

Code

		
<!-- Fully Compressed Caption Bar, L/R arrow buttons + Layout Icon -->
<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Default" fg="highlighted" />
<element id="CaptionBar.HeaderControl.Disabled" fg="highlighted" />

<!-- Tabs Bar, below Caption Bar: L/R arrow + Layout Buttons -->
<element id="Panel.HeaderButtonOverride.Default" fg="highlighted" /> <!-- 40,106,144 50,112,144 --> <!-- Highlights L/R buttons in Music Explorer and Layout Button everywhere... keep 'highlighted' -->
<element id="Panel.HeaderButtonOverride.Disabled" fg="white" />
<element id="Panel.HeaderButtonOverride.Highlight" bg="highlighted" fg="255,0,0" />

Thank you, I've just tried it, still not working. I've changed the png for PanelLayout icon. It's still black, when mouse hovering it changes color.
Which code is controlling the colors of PanelLayout icon?

(Ptop = when the player panel is positioned at the top)

Thanks, that's very helpful.

How to change the color of the "Arrange Panel Layout" icon? I've tried changing the image, icon color override, but still it's black no matter what...


(updated theme with better colors and icons)

The Sample Skin should be helpful to find the concerning elements.

What doe these do? I can't find any changes no matter the values?

Code

<element id="Controls.SearchBoxPTop.Default" bg="254,250,238" fg="191,52,7" />
<element id="Controls.SearchBoxPTop.NotActivated" bg="252,244,215" bg2="252,244,215" bdr="154,182,218" />

Thank you Steven for the response.
I've tried expanding row padding and changing the font size, you're right, it doesn't work for the look I was hoping for. And changing the font makes lot of things unreadable, because of lack of space in various boxes and worst of all is almost every fonts gets huge, becomes hard to distinguish any differences.

A Spotify like library, playlist ui will be a great eye saver for people with bad eyes.

Adding another screenshot, if that helps-
