the only bug i can find is the Playing Tracks panel doesnt immediately update if you change the rating in another panel. I will fix that. If thats not what you are trying to show in your screenshots then i wont be able to help any further on this

can you post the who dj panel.
edit:
its probably because you have Narrow Scrollbars enabled which is fixed for the next update. Although your dpi would have been 120% or above for it to happen

Yeah steven that is exactly i was trying to show.but i like to tell one more thing that this bug even happens if i change rating on playing track panel,NOT changing on another panel.I tried many times by selecting the playing track and changing the rating but it just wont change instantly like other two panels...Sorry i was not able to express properly earlier or even if now.Not good with english that much.

Yeah, I'm never sure how to interpret the various magnification options in Windows 10.  I just try things until it works.  So even though it says "100%", there must be something going on.

Perfecto...and quick 
thx steven ..that rating issue  on playing track is no more.

Hi ..

well this is no bug but i think i should still mention it,maybe in next update it can be fixed.
plz check two SS below..you will notice that artist photo is not fully shown in first SS.his ear is missing from right side and next SS shows what actual photo is.

like we have option in track information panel and one can choose what PX artwork should show or if one would like to set it as fit to panel.But there is no such option for artist panel.so if you feel like adding such a feature in next update.Even if one try to configure artist panel ..there is no settings whatsoever.
Just thought its worth mentioning.

Something strange with two monitors (first: 1920x1200, second  1680x1050)

After maximizing musicbee on the second monitor the close and restore icons/buttons on the maximized window are a bit off-screen (right  and top). Hmmm, looking a bit more, it's a problem of the whole top window area: on the left the menu icon and the MusicBee text are also a bit off-screen (the top is being cut off).

Maximizing in the primary monitor doesn't have this problem.

The result of such a setting would be that since the aspect ratio of images vary, every time a playing track changes, or when you switch between playing/selected, the placement and position of the panels above and/or below will have to change too.
Would you use and appreciate that?

[user73]

well that is the case with track information panel too..isn't it?.most of artwork are of different size.no matter we choose between playing/selected.but the position stays the way it should.

And i asked for this feature as i feel it must show full photo of  an artist or a band.i also noticed in some  bands,  when 4-5 artists standing ,guys standing in corners face sometimes don't fit.

There is a difference. Album art aspect ratio's don't vary very much, and for the track info panel it will only affect the other content within that panel. It doesn't effect panels above or below it.
I am not trying to make a point here.
Just curious if you would accept either:
- the position and size of panels above and below the artist picture panel changing continuously.
- having a fixed size for the artist picture panel, and having black (or grey, or yellow) bars around the picture.

[user73]

Yeah i got u what u trying to say.. i didn't understand earlier
well i would definitely don't want to have bars around the picture.i just asked would be nice if there had been feature where one can make a choose what kind of artist picture one would like.Fit to panel or certain PX..
isn't it what is  the beauty of musicbee that one customize according to needs and liking.that is why there are so many options with panels and layouts.

Yes, I guess we are so spoiled, we sometimes expect the impossible ;-)
The ideal solution for your wish would be an algorithm that analyses a photograph, and understands what ears, noses and people are important to display.
All kidding aside, that will probably happen.
