can you tell me what the flags show - the language or the country? and how exactly to do the same on another regular standard theme? for example, my language tags are filled out - do I need to put pictures of flags somewhere?
The flags in the picture represent the language, displayed via the "Highlight" tag, whose content is defined in the highlighting rules (see Preferences > Tags(2) > highlighting: [Define Rules...]).
In this case, the list of highlighting rules depends on the number of languages present in your collection: one rule per language, since there is automatic attribution (unlike in the Thumbnail Browser).
For the "Highlight" tag, the icons must be put in:
- PORTABLE version:
(MusicBee Application Path)\Icons - INSTALLED version:
%APPDATA%\MusicBee\Icons
Note that if you select "Language" in the Thumbnail browser, MusicBee will automatically display the matching flag, provided it is present with the same name (eg. "English" -> "English.PNG") in:
- PORTABLE version:
(MusicBee Application Path)\Library\Artwork\Grouping Icons - INSTALLED version:
%USERPROFILE%\Music\MusicBee\Artwork\Grouping Icons
The "Highlight" tag is designed for 16x16 icons, and a maximum width of 48 pixels (for the latter, unless you manually fiddle in MusicBee3Settings.ini). In my setup, I use 20x20 icons, since 16x16 flags are not easy to recognise in my screen resolution (1920x1080, 100%).
Below, some examples of rules:
name | rule | icon | color | text |
| LNG=multilingual | match all of the following rules:
Language - is - multilingual | (multilingual).ico | (not specified) | (not ticked) |
| LNG=English | match all of the following rules:
Language - is - English
Language - is not - multilingual | United Kingdom.ico | (not specified) | (not ticked) |
| LNG=French | match all of the following rules:
Language - is - French
Language - is not - multilingual | France.ico | (not specified) | (not ticked) |
Important notes:- When you want to select the icon, MusicBee lists .PNG pictures only, although it also accepts .ICO files. The difference between the two types is that .PNG files are often stretched, whereas .ICO files are displayed without stretching ("pixel perfect").
- To list the .ICO files in the file selector, enter "*.ico" as filename -> [Enter].
- (This could provide matter for a Wishlist entry.)
