Woahhh, UI update!

Interface display; ouch, looks like catbox is down! Or your internet is garbage, maybe.

It has been a good few months since I last posted about this, and it has also been a good few months since LS has posted about it. Sounds like them and I both need to update on our music player preferences ... (nudge nudge)

Please excuse the "comment" button magically appearing, haha.

So, let's take a nice tour and see what changed! In my last post about it, I actually used JScript Panel 3 for my playlist switcher. In simpleton: Different look. However, the new playlist manager I wanted to switch to used Spider Monkey Panel as a basis. If you're unsure what that means: I was unable to stay on x64 and switched to x32! I talked about this a bit more in detail on my blog, but basically, I had to, plugins only support the version they're made for, so either it's x64 or x32.

However, I recently became aware of JSplitter, which is based on SMP and has a x64 build! Not only that, but the playlist switcher I wanted to install happened to recently add support for JSplitter! So that got to work out grand, and I got to switch to x64 for no reason. I gave up a few things, but I'm fine with that.

I also moved the rating panel to the toolbar! So now from the comfort of my own topbar, I can rate the song I'm listening to. How generous!

If you are also unaware, JSplitter allows you to do cool things like this when you aren't using it as a Spider Monkey Panel x64 build:

Ouch.

Yeah, JSplitter is neat, it was worth going back to x64 for. It's capabilities are neat, so I went back. And well, it serves what I want it for.

Not to say I haven't also been experimenting in other ways though! JSplitter comes with this alternative playlist view script, which I've been playing with for the past hour:

Ouch.

Neat.

I've also been playing with ReFacets which is kind of like the Media Library feature from WinAmp, if you remember using that. It's like a breakdown of all the music you have by size, song count, etc, and you can send it to a playlist, or you can also just use it to find things on your playlist. Here's that:

Ouch.

That is about it for the UI update. I did do a version of this where it's all floating, but I didn't like that one very much, so I moved to how I do it normally. As you can tell on the toolbar, I added a filter button, which just opens ReFacets. I may remove it now that Facets is on my UI, lol.

That concludes today's update!
