help with colums UI colors

below are two pictures... one of tagged files and one of untagged files.
i wantmy untagged files to appear the way that my tagged files do, without the dark brown background and font color that is hardly legible. i have been editting my columns ui globals tab all day and got my tagged files to look exactly how i like them but then i realized that my untagged files were a disappointment. any help would be greatly appreciated. 
thanks,
jake

edit:
didn't realize i couldnt add an attachment for the pictures so now i dont even know how to post them in here for you all to look at... god im so lost

Can you post your fcs file?  I believe you need to add an if statement where if the tag is there, then print the tag, else print the filename (do that for the title).  To compensate for artist, have an if statement where if the tracknumber is there, then do your custom string, else, print "Unknown Artist" or "Untagged File".  It's your preference, but I'm just not sure without seeing your code.

I hope that helps you.

edit: i figured out how to export the .fcs file but now i cant figure out how to post it on these forums since there is no option for an attachment... this should do the trick though, i used yousendit.com... here you go

It looks like you are using azrael correct?


go to preferences-->columns_ui-->globals tab-->colour tab
where it says
//background
the second line reads
Code: [Select]
$if(%_is_single%,%_info%,%_info%))|

the firt instance of info is the title area background color in singles mode, the socend instance is album mode.  make them the same if you want singles to have the same background colors as albums

also go to preferences-->columns_ui-->Cloumns tab-->colour tab-->
where it says
//background
the last value in the first line is the background color for the artist column
Code: [Select]
$if(%_is_single%,$if(%_isplaying%,%_playing%,%_info%),

where it says info is the column background color in sigle mode.  Make this the same as the color just chose.


Is this what you are looking for?

thanks so much that worked perfectly! i only have one last question about my database... when i select "All Music" it displays my music in order by date (supposedly)
i have three folders...
they contain concerts from 1990-2002, 2003-2004, and 2005 respectively.
when i select all music from the album list/ database explorer it sisplays them in this order:
1990-2002, 2005, 2003-2004

just wondering if this was something i culd fix, thanks a lot again for all the help so far!
