Description Max Spicer 2006-01-01 06:37:32 UTC

In playlist.html, the default skin highlights the currently playing track by putting its title in bold.  Nothing else is done to distinguish it from the other tracks in the playlist, of which there could be hundreds.  On low contrast screens  it can often be very hard to spot the boldened entry.  It would be much better if more was done to highlight it e.g. put a bold border around the tr and/or use a different colour for the tr background or the entire track's information.

current song line all bold

Older versions of the server, I believe, actually had the whole line in bold.  Simple patch to do that.  adding a border coudl be done by altering exboldlisting in slimserver.css

committed this patch along with another tweak to make the odd/even class span the entire row properly.  change 5500. full row border would probably require a new class for the tr tag, after looking at it more thoroughly.

change 5593 now adds a 1px black border around the current song in the current playlist.  Please try this out and let us know what you think.  I'm willing to revert if it is ugly.

Comment 4 Max Spicer 2006-01-10 10:27:07 UTC

I think that looks good.  It took a tiny bit of getting used to, but I'm fairly sure that was just because it looked different rather than because it looked ugly.  Thanks, KDF.

ok, calling this one done :)
