Hmm, strange. My set-up behaves a bit different regarding playback order. It always starts with the order I used the last time. Even when I use Shuffle (albums) or something else which is not present in Kameleon's button-options and re-start foobar, the order will stay the same until I manually change it. I have tried several combinations of hiding shuffle/default panels but that doesn't influence it in any way.

@Falstaff
He he, i made it with Tabbed Panel Stack mod and integrated PSS's for the panel order buttons (and indicators), since other than PSS the tabbed panel stack mod remembers the last tab before shutdown and isn't forced to hide a specified panel at startup

Well, I had "playback order default" panel hidden on startup, and "playback order shuffle" panel not hidden. When I did this, foobar would load and show the shuffle symbol in the bottom button, yet tracks would play in default order.
What I simply did was show the "playback order default" panel, and hide the "playback order shuffle" panel. This way when foobar would load, my tracks would play in shuffle order, but there is still the problem of the wrong button showing at the bottom (the default order button).

So, I consider my problem mostly solved. My tracks now shuffle on load, but the wrong button image shows. I'm not sure if this is an error with Kameleon, perhaps Brett can attest to that?
Hope this helps.

so, i see you don't understand how it works in my config, so i'll try to do a quick explain to make you understand this.

first, i've decided to not display empty area when the bg pic doesn't fit the whole window, like this :



- to do without empty area, 2 possibilities :

1) displaying the bg pic to take the whole place without keeping the aspect ratio (nokeepaspect option of $imageabs(...)), but it is really ugly to stretch images :



2) displaying the bg pic but keeping the aspect ration of the pic ! it's what i have done, but in order to respect my first need (no empty area) i center the pic and i zoom it (in or out) to fill the whole space in the window !



if i don't do this, in the example you gave, a 'portrait' format image like your (ratio near 3:4) to be displayed in a 'landscape' format window (ratio near 4:3), you'll add empty area at the left and at the right of the picture, it is really not sexy for my point of view.

is it more clear now ?

Now, if you want to display pics in another way, i'll not help you, take your titleformat's manual and code it by yourself. Sorry... choices had to be made, i made them.

Regards,

I have a question:
I have a keyboard shortcut for Alt+Enter to display Properties (context/playlist).  When I press that key combination, the Properties dialog is displayed, BUT the selected item is played.  I can't find anywhere that the behaviour is defined for the key combo; I don't want the selected item to be played.

Any ideas??

Anyone know why Alt+Enter would Play the selected item?  Is this an ELPlaylist thing?

I just discovered the button in Kameleon to display the properties dialog, but I am used to using the keyboard short-cut.

Not sure if you intended it to be this way, but that post came across incredibly rude.  Not sure why I deserved that.  Anyway, back on topic, I do fully understand how it is working in your config, and I respect that it is your config, and you can have it look how you want.  I was looking for some advice as to where I could tinker with things to get it to look how I would like it.  I don't know much about titleformat code, but I do understand the basics, and the theory of programming in general, and I was hoping that you might be able to point me in the direction of the lines of code I might be able to play with to see if I can get it looking how I would like.  If you really don't want to help, that's fine, you aren't required to, but I would appreciate it if you could just point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

first, my intentions were not to be 'rude', so excuse me if you had take it like this.
now, to change the display of bg images, i said that i'll help you because it's a mod of the config, and i don't want to modify it for the reason explained in previous posts. Now if you want mod it, you can, no problem, but if you're not able to find the lines to change, i'm afraid that you'll be alble to do it by yourself ... but i hope i'm wrong, and i just can tell you that you need to enter splitter settings (right-click on 'Kameleon' icon button at bottom, -> enter splitter settings, go to the tab that contains the script 'Per Track',  and look for the blocs that calculate ratio and then display the images depending on the ration format (3 blocs, there are comments in the code).

here are the piece of code to modify...

thanks for this nice config. I have one problem with it though. Whenever i click on the bottom letters to jump to the artist with name that start with that letter nothing happens. the screen just stays the same place. any ideas?

So I was using kameleon_rate_to_db=1 because I didn't want to change the "Date Modified" for my mp3's, but then I noticed that once I moved an album folder from one location to another, the ratings would get lost! So I gave in and changed the above setting back to "0" so that ratings get tagged in the file... however, now when I rate an mp3, the tags are lost, at least in the Vista Windows Explorer view as well as in the dbPowerAmp tab in file properties:

First 2 tracks were rated with default setting (in Tag, not database):

Anyone know what the deal is with this?

Can someone help me with the above issue? Any info is much appreciated, thx!

Also, for some reason, shpeck is now displaying in its own window, rather than in the VIS panel. How can I force shpeck to display in the VIS panel? Right now it is blank/black:
