[quote=The Link,Jan 28 2004, 10:03 PM]This is getting really cool!
Even the default settings look good IMHO (with the right fonts chosen). One thing that I'd like to have is working scrolling with the mouse wheel (no name mouse here ==> no good drivers). Otherwise everything is just great!

Do you mean pressing the wheel (autoscroll) or turning it?
[quote=BlueScreenJunky,Jan 28 2004, 10:08 PM]wow, sweeeet ! I love your UI, maybe still a few things to add/fix, but it's already better than the default one IMHO.
anyway, here are my thoughts, questions, suggestions :
- Can you change the color of the font used to display the playlists list ? Well if you can't consider it as a feature request (white font on white background is not really readable ^^)
- I think when you click the header of a column it should switch between ascending and descending sorting... Unless you prefer it that way for some reason ?
- You should definitely be able to import/export configs (it's already been requested but I think it's an important feature)
- I'd love to have a cusomizable tool-tip, that would display a string when you let your cursor over a title.
- Could you use the same seekbar as in the default UI ? I find it easier to grab.
- What is the space between the status bar and the playlist (about 5 pixels) used for ? :-P
Well, I think that's all for now. Just keep up the good work ^^[/quote]
1. done, forgot about that
2. ok will do since so many requests for it
3. yes later
4. later
5. ill change it
6. probably some bad calculations when resizing, can you show me a screenshot of everything?
[quote=kerpondile,Jan 28 2004, 10:11 PM]Good job!! This component looks very good!!!
few improvements/suggestions:
when pressing a key in the playlist could take it to artist beginning with that alphabet.
for example you press B and the selection goes to Britney Spears

try foo_playlistfind, search for it
[quote=kalmark,Jan 28 2004, 10:30 PM]Stuff worth mentoning:
1) You can only en/disable "Playback order", "Playback buttons" is linked to the same
2) If you change the column sizes by dragging, this does not change the sizes set in config -> you go into config, and everything gets back to the default (or whatever you set there)
3) Maybe a time_elapsed tooltip for the seekbar would be nice
4) And yes, the default colors should be changed

5) Maybe a different kind of vis... I made a small "stereo" vis, if you're interested, maybe it can be incorporated. I dunno how "vis-in-ui" code works, but I'm sure if I sent you my code it could be easily merged

BTW, anyone care to make some nice formatting strings for this UI?

And, before I forget : THANK YOU, again, for making this cool plugin!

1. fixed
2. it should update when you next open prefs, but if you resize whilst prefs is open, it wont, because it cant keep track (you may add new columns etc.)
3. maybe later
5. do something about that much later

Yes, that's what I mean.[/quote]
I added an option for it for now, because its only around playlist (not pl list if you use that) and looks bad for some reason.
[quote=juglesh,Jan 29 2004, 12:44 AM]
[quote]Maybe i could add a scrollbar less mode where columns expand/compress to take up all available space[/quote]
that would be a decent solution if you could specify min/max pixels or % for each column. for example, the length column (which i would want right aligned) would have a min/max of 70 pixels. if all columns resized on window resize or column resize, the length column would allways stay the right size, and would allways stay to the right.[/quote]
they would just act as ratios
[quote=meatsoup,Jan 29 2004, 12:51 AM]I absolutely love this UI, but I have a problem with the playlist display after scrolling horizontally.
Here's a screenshot.
If I scroll horizontally to the right, then select an item, it will display left-aligned as though I hadn't scrolled. This is with alpha 6, but I'm pretty sure it was happening with earlier builds.[/quote]
Thanks, fixed
[quote=treech,Jan 29 2004, 01:37 AM]Gettingreally good, but there are a few more things i'del ike to comment

the new option, use global string might have something to do with this suggestion, yes?
[quote]Also, ONE color property for all fields would be usefull (as an option)
and perhaps a singe place where i could paste thing like color definitions so i don't have to do that in every single window[/quote]
please explain it further, i tried to add my color definitions there but it did not work as expected
also, the scrollwheel on my mouse ain't working, mx700 (logitech) mouse that works just fine with the default UI

EDIT:
The dropdown thingy on the playback order is still not working....

[/quote]
1. it is combined with column string then sent to be formatted. put a $puts there and then a $get in each column it was wiped when you go back into config in alpha 6.
2. done
3. what happens exactly? nothing drops down? i will look into it, i just need to reproduce it first.
[quote=bisley,Jan 29 2004, 11:32 AM]good job musicmusic, i like so much this ui

but 2 things...
when i change background color, only change the scroll bar color
and
Why i dont see them?keep up the good work ![/quote]
1. i think you need to use colour string
2. you need to use arial unicode ms if you have that font
[quote=Lyx,Jan 29 2004, 06:20 PM]ok, here're some basic things which come to my mind about streamlining and a more copy'n paste friendly layout:
- the colour-string should be global, instead of column-specific(individual column-foreground-colors can easiely be set in the column-string itself.
- selected-item-frame and background-color could then too be moved into the above global colour-string, and the coresponding color buttons removed
- rename "titleformatting spec" to "titleformating"
- rename "use custom titleformatting spec for sorting by column" to "use custom sorting string"
rearange the options:
- make the current "more" page, the root UI-page
- rename the current root UI-page to "column-formatting" and make it a sub of the root
- move the global color-string, vis-color-buttons and font-settings into a third options-page called "fonts & colors"
Of course the above is just my personal opinion on what could be improved about the options, and it may be well the case that most others do find my proposals wrong or plain stupid.
- Lyx
edit: even better would imho be, if the "global string" and "global color string" could be merged, so that we could set the global colors right inside the "global string" with a function, or something like that. But i don't know if thats possible.[/quote]
i cant be bothered to cut up your quote so respectively:
1. then you cant set diff background colours per column, only per row (track). unless i set some extra item, %_column_index% or somthing, i might change it then
2. sel frame could if it was one string yes. background colour button does not relate to columns at all
3. what kind of diffrence would that make? apart from not making any sense.
[quote=kode54,Jan 29 2004, 12:33 AM]There's also a slight bug in the total time display. It seems to show the length of the first track in the selection multiplied by the number of tracks selected.[/quote]
thanks fixed
