Optional 2 shades of colors in playlist.

[BubbleBoy]

I dont know if someone tought of this before, but it would be nice to have 2 shades of one color for the playlist fonts.
U may ask why.
example of mp3 dirs:
dir 1 madonna The collection <- normal color in playlist
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
dir 2 madonna Live at mcdonnalds <- darker or lichter shade in playlist
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
dir 3 madonna Benefits album <- normal color in playlist
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
-----mp3 1
dir 4 etc etc.. <- darker or lichter shade in playlist

That would be easy to reconize wich songs belongs to an album/dir .
So the programmers could let the color react on dirs.
Ofcoarse it should be optional.

I like it.

here's another approach I think might work too.

something like this in Preferences/Fonts. granted, you won't need this many color options but.....(just need to change the text headings on em to suit QCD)

of course, this would be on a per skin basis

I dont get that, how will that work ?
( u mean alter an mp3 with an code infront like "code#1 Madonna - retire.mp3" will give u an altered view in the playlist, i dont think u mean that because it's to much work in my opinion )

I think if the playlist reacts on dirs it would be easy and a simple way to implent.
dirs
A normal
B altered
C normal
D altered
etc etc,

Ofcoarse it would only work if u sort files on "path and filename", wich i always have.

nevermind, what I had in mind is overkill anyway.

I wouldn't use it, but an interesting idea.

[Tokelil]

I think It's a great idea... I'll sure love it!!

Cool idea!

Furthermore, adding some preferences like following:
shading on album basis
shading on artist basis
shading on directory basis
shading on genre basis
etcetera...
would make this feature a great tool!
