Hey guys,
Not sure when this changed but I've just noticed that the currently playing song is no longer very obviously bold. It used to be very bold, but now its just not very obvious any more and I have trouble finding the song that is playing in the list.
Can I change this back to something more obvious or maybe add a play icon to the start of the row?
Thanks.

You could certainly use the IsPlaying() function to flag the currently playing track...
-
I don't get that, use what exactly? ?
I went through the options in the menus to see if this could be configured and I couldn't find it thats why I ask.

Which Skin are you using?
The Playing Now playlist (available the tree) will always show you the currently playing track for the current zone. Are you saying it is not bold there either?
-
I don't get that, use what exactly?
Add an Expression Column using something like If(IsPlaying(),♪,). Or more useful, If(IsInPlayingNow(),♪,) to flag all files in Playing Now.
But the bolding of the currently playing item hasn't changed.

Hm you're right, MC16 had the same level of 'boldness' in the Playing Now list, weird I hadn't noticed that before.
From what I remember it used to be much bolder, even so that the text became wider and wouldn't fit in collums scaled for the normal text.
I'm using the Noire skin btw, always have since it became available.
The If(IsPlaying()... expression works fine btw, thanks for that. The IsInPlayingNow adds the icon to all of them, making it useless.

Useless if you're trying to use it to distinguish the currently playing file from others in Playing Now, but the bolding of the currently playing file should take care of that. ;)
What font are you using? See Options > Tree & View > Select font...
