Now Playing Bar - artist image

[discusster]

I've just upgraded to the latest version (3.0.5995) and fixed my skins and layouts. One aspect I can't recreate is the way I had the "Now Playing Bar" sitting at the bottom of the main panel. Previously the artist image took up the whole space across the width of the panel, and the song details were overlaid at the bottom left. Here's roughly what is looked like before:

Now the image is aligned to the right, off the panel canvas. And the text is aligned to the top. See this image

The text alignment isn't such a problem, but it would be great to get the images to take up the full width again. Any tips?

One more possibly related issue... I used to be able to right-click an artist image and ban it. This doesn't appear to be an option any longer? I now get "Open in Web Browser" - with option for Wikimedia, Last FM etc. Am I able to add this functionality back in somehow?

Cheers,
Blair

No one else in the same boat as me? Seems like a regression of sorts... unless I'm missing something? Any help much appreciated.

If you restart MB with now playing bar open, lyrics is not shown until you close and show the now playing bar again.

its working ok for me. Can you see the scrollbar for the lyrics and does it happen with the default skin? if the answer is no and yes then can you send me your settings when that happens

[redwing]

No and yes. PMed my settings file.

[Steven]

thanks. I can reproduce this with your settings so i should be able to fix it.

It's fixed. Thanks!

[discusster]

Perfect... works just as it used to. Many thanks for the speedy update.

Bugger, I spoke too soon, sorry. I've just noticed that the images still appear to be center aligned, or somehow aligned off the right hand side of the panel. See attached screenshot:

Hope it's an easy one to fix.

i am not planning to "fix" anything. If there isnt enough space to show a minimum width for the track information then the artist picture is clipped on the left and right to make space

Ok, thanks for the help.
