thanks to all guys but I have a really bad problem...

I've installed panel stack and I've insert it in columsUI like this:

Code: [Select]
Horizontal Splitter
----Panel Stack Splitter
--------Panel


The problem is that all the panel like artwork or the simply play list is opaque and hide the background image...how I cold set every element trasparent?

thanks...I'm just thought about elplaylist...also if it is very hard to program for me and I didn't find any tutorial..
and for the other ui component?

I need:

Lyrics (but I already found in this forum the right component with transparent background)
album art (loaded from embedded file)

Thanks for all again...^^

thanks,....the problem is that I want to do it by myself....
I don't have many complete album with cover, I have a lot of singular music with embedded art...and (I think) only "artwork view" panel can display the artwork embedded in the mp3s!!!

Plugins like chronflow, album art lister, and i think also elplaylist can show only the "folder.jpg" file, that is external...it can be fine for everyone that have a lot of albums, and well catalogues in folder

EDIT:

I try to explain how I need my foobar (or better foobar for my g/f)

(I have a solution to not code too much)

I need a background and a playlist not grouped by album but similar to the standard column ui playlist with artist name, title album and track lenght and maybe genre and year

in the same window I need the lyrics...and a spectrum...(if it can be transparent...)
Then in a tab I would like to insert the embedded artwork (I know that this will not be transparent with embedded album art)

And thats all, I just need how to code elplaylist to set the text colour, and a playlist similar to the default one...

EDIT_2

[OT]
Is just lyric show automatic download function dangerous for pc protection?
