Columns UI: Make current playing song title green

Hi, I'm enjoying messing about some with the appearance of my Foo. Practicality is #1 priority, hence why I haven't downloaded a theme straight - none I've seen have the right focuses. This is, I believe (I installed my plugins a long time ago) all Columns UI.

What I want is to make the song currently playing a little more highlighted. Here, the song playing is Tyhrranosis, clearly. I want it so, in the playlist, the word 'Tyhrranosis' is a bright green, ideally indented with a little > sign or something of that sort. This is basically so it is easy to spot while scrolling the playlist, and just for a bit more appearance.

You could try this script on your title column format above %title%:

Code: [Select]
$if(%ispaused%,II' ',
$if(%isplaying%,$rgb(0,255,0,255,255,255)>' ')
)

This should display your playing track in bright green (0,255,0) and display in white when selected (255,255,255). This will also add an '>' as an play indicator.

Thanks for that script. Is there a guide or tutorial for us newbies about scripting like this? I've been meaning to make some tweaks likes this one and similar ones. Plus I've seen some screenshots with progress bars behind the now playing song which is super sexy. Thanks for any suggestions.

EDIT: Just helped myself to these two pages, definitely have a lot to play with for now.

Is there a way to accomplish something similar in DUI?

You will need to replace the current Title column with a custom column. With a custom Title format like this:

Code: [Select]
$if(%ispaused%,II' ',
$if(%isplaying%,$rgb(0,255,0,255,255,255)>' ')
)

[%title%]

[ // %track artist%]

As far as I know $rgb() doesn't work on the DUI playlist. On the other side, you can use '<' or '>' shade or highlight the text.

Is it possible to bold the now playing track in the NG playlist?
