Ditto!

Yeah, i really loved the previous way of maximizing as well.

I think the quick playlist should be toggled by clicking the album art area. And then the top bar should be kept for maximising.

Toggling visuals in the album area was kind of pointless IMHO. Only in fullscreen would I ever toggle visuals.

Why visuals don't work in fullsreen?
Is it normal or a bug?
In the previous version, visuals were enabled in fulscreen , with 1.5 now , only album cover is available!

I don't understand why it is not yet implemented, It has been asked several times...Hoping David aims to add it

Yeah thank you.
Great!

Could some one give a link (if it exists) for the centrafuse manual

The only thing I miss is a skin editor. I think centrafuse has it all.. it's just the layout that not suites me.. Have take a look at the skin.xml. It's not so hard I think but too much work to make your own skin.

Yeah a skin editor would be nice!!

it is being redesigned and will be much easier to press... I made those top bars way too small....

There is a complete new skin in the works that is going to be amazing, trust me...

note: my partner/designer made this first skin layout without a 7" touchscreen or having ever used a carputer... he has both now...

The inconvienient is a supplementary field in music database (main.dat) and perhaps longer music database bulding.

David what do you think about that?

will do... I needed something to fill that space for one more button
