GUI changes for v3.0

[killfire72]

New issue seems to have popped up in the latest build. Upon opening the program, the shuffle mode is set to Auto DJ and cannot be changed. When a track is played, a message shows in the bottom left that "Auto DJ has been started" and the shuffle mode still cannot be changed.

Thank you for all the hard work Steven and Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!

Found a little graphical glitch. The buttons at the bottom of the Customize Panel... dialog are partially visible. This happens in multiple customization panels: Album and Tracks, Album Covers and Atrists views.

unzip into the musicbee application folder and run MusicBee3.exe

- fixes for the above
- some more high-dpi screen adjustments
- the progress bar and wave bar should now render more smoothly

Loving the advancements so far, but I have some requests.

What happened to the "Random Skin" option under the "Skins" section?
Hopefully you guys can put that back up, rotating skins are quite interesting and I'm sure that MB3 is compatible with MB2 & MB2.5 skins.

Also could you add a similar ability for TheaterMode as well? If it's possible

Thanks ahead of time.

Using today's update - 3.0.5838 - I ripped some CDs and the tracks were placed in the Inbox (track details view.) I then selected all the tracks from one of the CDs, went to the Lyrics (selected) section in the right sidebar and right-clicked in order to "mark as having no lyrics."  However, as soon as I right-click the highlighted (selected) tracks are no longer selected.  If I proceed and mark them, they are indeed marked.  But it's a little disconcerting to have the selection disappear before changing the status.

@phred, it sounds like the skin you are using doesnt have a distinct inactive row colour. Does it do the same with the default skin?

Sorry, Steven,  I had forgotten to mention that.  It was the first thing I thought of so I then switched to the MB3 default skin and the behavior was the same.  It also happens if just one track is selected and then right-clicked in the Lyrics panel.  But if I select one (or many) in the main panel and right-click in the main panel the selection remains and I can select any available option from the resulting menu.  The selection -only- disappears when right-clicking in the Lyrics panel on the right sidebar.

can you post a screenshot then as its working fine for me

Sorry for the false alarm, Steven.  I tried a few other skins and narrowed it down to a combination of a poorly calibrated monitor (for the MB3 default skin) and a needed tweak to Content[TrackDetail].Body.Lowlight to skin on which I first found the "problem."  All is well now.

Thanks a lot for this Steven, it looks amazing. <3 the calcium metro skin so much.

Do think the tab bar looked much better in the previous version.

[Steven]

the tabs bar is probably the main issue for a number of the skins that have not been upgraded for v3. I think "mikebo" who created the skin is still occasionally active on the forum so i suggest you post a request on the calcium skin topic to see if he is willing to spend time on it.

I love it and noticed a lot of improvements.

The only problem is that I'm unable to play any song right now: http://pastebin.com/haxt0A4U

I get "could not be found" for any song on my library.

[Steven]

you need to have v2.5 installed and then install v3 into that directory. To save time, just unzip http://musicbee.niblseed.com/Weekly/MusicBee_Setup_2_5_5804.zip into the musicbee application folder and run MusicBee3.exe

Thanks that worked.

The album art/lyrics section just looks so much better for me now at first I had them stacked. Masterful. Musicbee is masterful.
