well you don't want to be using ELPlaylist for that.

just follow the instructions on that page on how to install columns UI and select one of the presets on startup. if you missed that dialog, goto file>preferences>display>columns UI>main tab>quick setup.

you can try EsPlaylist. that will let you have album art in the playlist inside default UI.

after installing the component, you'll need to switch back to default UI in the display preferences and then use "enable layout editing mode" found on the "view>layout" menu to replace the standard playlist.

Hi can anyone tell me how to add a progression bar to the currently playing track?
something like this

can this be done in ng playlist?

Thanks in advance for any help guys

if(track is playing,background object width = [(seconds played)/(total seconds)]*total line width,else display nothing)

^^ a guess: try minimum row number of group ( in the grouping tab). In your case this should be 5

$el_direct_item_count%//$max($add(%el_item_count%,0),$add(%ART.ROW%,%ADD.ART.ROW%))

Use pictures with a better quality or an higher resolution.
