Thread: Icon to indicate lyrics added

  1. #1

    Default Icon to indicate lyrics added

    Hi Andrei,

    I have a suggestion for a future version of OrangeCD:

    Would it be possible to add an icon after the song title in an album tracklisting to indicate that lyrics have been added?

    That would be helpful when adding lyrics, to avoid looking through albums or tracks that have them already.

    Maybe one type of icon to indicate that lyrics have been added, and another if it is instrumental.

    ...and maybe an additional type of icon if notes have been added to the individual track.

    Would this be possible?

    Thanks

    I agree that there should be some distinction. Maybe you could just change the color of the type. Any way, anything would help. Thanks for the continued improvement!!!

    Yes! It will be right.
    And will be very good if you'll add "next song" button in lyrics page.

    Good idea fellas.

    At the moment if you run your mouse over the track it highlights it in blue and underscores it like a web brower does on a hyperlink.

    How about, leaving the highlight/underscore off it unless there is actually some lyrics to link to?

    It would make finding lyrics so much easier.

    If you want your track list to show whether a track includes lyrics or not, you can add the following line to your theme:

    <!--[if(lyrics)]-->*<!--[/if]-->

    This is how you do it:
    1. Open the CRISP theme (Crisp.dax) using DAXEDIT.EXE
    2. Select the 'Album page' tab
    3. Look for the <!--[TrackTime/]--> tag
    4. Add the above line after the 'TrackTime' tag

    The result should look something like this:

    .....
    <!--[/if]-->

    That's a good idea - but does it have to be the Crisp theme?

    I just use the default theme, which is all I need. Will this modification work with that, too?

    Thanks

    No, you can do the same with any theme which includes a function to loop thru the tracks of an album. All you have to do is place <!--[if(lyrics)]-->*<!--[/if]--> inside the loop.

    My suggestion was to place the asterisk after the ;<!--[tracktime/]--> tag, simply beacuse it seems like a natural place to display that kind of information.

    In the Default theme.dax you could for instance place the lyrics asterisk after this line:

    <!--[track]--><tr><td valign=top><!--[tracknum/]-->.

    pheisholt: It's good idea (modifying the current theme), but how about new look? If I would add some signs, do I kept even formatting as I have now?

    Hi alex
    I'm not sure that I understand your question. What do you want to achieve/do?
