Title: Customizing Display question
Post by: clout on July 28, 2003, 11:54:33 am

I am trying to change the information displayed in the track playing info.
Top Row=NAME - ARTIST (no problemwith this)

2nd rowLeft= - remaining time / Total time (How do I display the minus sign, "- [RemainingTime]" just displays the time without the"-".

2nd row right - I'd like to display the 'remaining time / total time ' for the whole playing now list. Are there keyworrds for this?

The only way I've managed to do it is by preceding the minus sign with some other characters.  Space alone will not do but something like dot space space minus will work.

JLee, thanks for your solution.It got me thinking that maybe some other character similar to the minus sign might work. Try this:
Put your NUMLOCK on, hold down the ALT key and use the number pad keys to type 0150. This inserts the "en-dash" symbol which looks just like the minus sign. No need for the "dot".

Now if someone has the answer to the rest of my problem I'd be very grateful!!
