foo_uie_single_column_playlist, single column playlist viewer Options

[terrestrial]

I have made a plugin that displays the playlist in a single column with "headers", which I find useful for creating a narrower and smaller layout.



This is a beta so user beware. Download

For documentation, please refer to the wiki. (thanks to FofR, and the other contributors).

Requires:

MS Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Library
GDI+ - only needed for Windows 2000

I've got a few more ideas:
First, variable line height (based on tagz). This would allow us, for example, to make higher rated songs bigger in the playlist. Another good use could be to make single tracks bigger to stand out better from full albums. It would also make it possible to make the group headers big enough to fit album art on one line.

I dont know if this is possible, but could there be group side margins as well as headers? This would allow us to put info and art to the side of each group (album) without having to use workarounds to stretch it between multiple tracks. Combined with a gdi+ implementation, this would open up so many possiblities such as wmp11-like interfaces.

Some kind of implementation of columns would be great, as well. And, with that, there could be new sorting options to change how tracks are grouped based on which column is controlling the sort, as well the formatting of the group headers (or sidebars).

I know this is all very ambitious and is probably not going to happen, but I just wanted to put the ideas out there just in case.
