Unable to find a way to SET DISPLAYED FIELDS of the PLAYING TRACKS  :-X  

After navigating to:
Now Playing / Artist Picture / Customise Panel / Right Side Bar / Playing Tracks / Now Playing Layout Configuration window, the Customise Layout "Button" is  greyed out. Any tips please??

MB v3.1.6512

that panel in the artist picture view uses the fields from the Playing Tracks panel for the main library tab ie. its not configurable by itself

Thanks so much for prompt response!
The Playing Tracks only shows 4 columns  Track, Artist, Grouping and Last Played, just wondering how it knows which ones to pick out, from a possible 15 items used in Now Playing and in what order?

Best regards: Fred  ;)

As Steven said, that's how you have it configured from library tabs. So if you want to change it, adjust the setting in another library tab, not in now playing tab.

Never did manage to locate that elusive LIBRARY TAB of which you spoke, however I DID find an option to change the PLAYING TRACKS LIST LAYOUT in COMPACT PLAYER LAYOUT.
by:
(right click on the header bar to add fields or drag column header to rearrange or resize the columns).

This didn't resolve my original query, but Compact Mode looks pretty close to how I intended the Now Playing, Artist View to look!

3.2 isn't even in beta yet, so you'll have to wait.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Open a tab for any node other than now playing node. Then right click on the playing tracks panel column header> Set displayed fields.
