Title: Bug/Feature Request - columns :)
Post by: nila on January 30, 2003, 12:45:45 pm
It's a bit of a bug and a bit of a feature request.

I'm playing my albums and using the mini me skins which are great. They are small and perfect little players.

I'm using the Windows XP ported skin and I LOVE it but there's a problem when I use the 'Playlist' mode.
It is using the same columns I'm guessing as the mega me mode which is useless as the window is like 1/5th of the size.

All I can see for the full playlist is: Counting Crows for each track as that's the first column I have set (artist) in mega me.
For Mini-me mode can it be set to display name' rather than whatever we have set in mega-me or to give us an option to specify what it shows??

Thanks :)

This is a feature I've asked for as well. The ability to customize what columns are being shown in a miniskin playlist as well as their widths... actually, I just had a better idea. Make the playlist object more robust in that the end user can resize columns, and access some sort of config screen that lets them choose which columns are being displayed. That would also help preserve the integrity of existing skins, as the authors wouldn't have to go back and change any of the code within their skins to specify which columns are being displayed, etc. Let the skinners just use the playlist object the way we are now, and leave the customization in the hands of the users.

On top of that, I'd like to see some more options for text displays, so that, for instance, the text could be centered if it fits, but if it's too long it will automatically scroll or something. And being able to control the speed of scrolling text would also be nice.
