How do I get rid of the vertical "Artist" column?

I assume you're referring to the Column Browser.  Edit > Preferences > Layout (1) > general > Arrange Panels and uncheck Column Browser.  Or drag it to the right side.

Ah got it, thanks!

Also how do I create a shortcut to create a new playlist?

[MeeMeeMee]

if you edit the first track in the album, in the artwork tab can you see the picture and if you click Save To, does it show "folder.jpg" as ticked?

Not sure what you mean by ticked, it's a file selection box. Here's how it looks like:

[musicguy]

Besides not having a shortcut to create a new playlist, the shortcut to copy selected files to the clipboard doesn't work. When I try to paste using my shortcuts nothing happens.

Help!

Your questions have nothing to do with this thread (GUI Changes for 3.0.)  Nor did your previous question.  Please create a new topic in the General section so we can keep this thread on point.  Be sure to state which version of MB you're using. Thanks.

but clicking on the radio text brings the correct dropdown:

Damn, I can't even follow instructions. Here's a screenshot of what you asked for, below.
You might notice that compared to the previous images, this time the playlist does show the album art for the Grimes/Art Angels album. As I wrote before, I had 2 albums that had this problem. What I did to sort out this album is the delete it from the DB, restart, and the startup scan picked it up correctly this time around.

I'm having a issue with artwork size in Album and Tracks view.
On 2.5 I could resize the artwork by changing the width of the Artwork column header. You can still do so in 3.0 but, the minimum size for the artwork is much larger than in 2.5.

Here is the minimum size I can get in 2.5: http://imgur.com/1dJMhfu

The minimum size I can get in 3.0: http://imgur.com/Y3eOVEo

The bigger size means an increase in white space between the tracks of different albums.

Am I missing something or this resizing limit is part of the GUI redesign?

[sleepless]

I like that I can place the 'artist picture' in the right sidebar. However, it seems I can't move other elements in the panel when it's there (in my case 'track info' below it which overlaps it). If I switch the 'artist picture' with a different element, say 'playing track' for example, I can move the 'track info' no problem, up or down.

[phred]

There's a typo on the Equiliser & DSP button under Player Preferences:

[sleepless]

I really like the new 'now playing display'. Would it be possible to have some other options for the track info? Specifically allowing the 'Track Details' (that has our cusom fields in it) to be displayed. Just a thought.
