I prefer the overall scheme of columns UI (and I can actually do something with it, as I'm not much of a coder), but I love the idea of having my album art next to the songs. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

As yet, columns UI has no image functions at all.

Darn, That's what I was afraid of.

You are going to have to forgive my innocence here, but is there a way to customize panels UI to have a similar "feel" as columns?

I've also read about copy/paste of diff. people's configurations, but I can't seem to find anyone's code. People keep referring to the appearance thread, but there's no code, just some incredible screenshots. Is there a special place to look? Again, sorry if this is dumb, but I'm still trying to figure stuff out as most of what everyone says I have to look up anyways

You can... take a look at the WMP11 config done by eejadx. That should give you some ideas on how to do this.

Hey, thanks so much. That's exactly what I was looking for.
