Just a few simple questions:

I enabled hover for making an item and group popup and set the delay to 0ms.
Then I filled in %title% (just for testing) in popup (track) field.
Now my problem is that I can't see any popups. Can somebody please tell me what I forgot.

I also got a question regarding fonts.
Is it possible to do something like %title% - %artist% with title in a bigger font and a different colour than the artist?

I can't seem to figure this out because the drawtext function only let's me enter the size en colour of one piece of text. I want different sizes and colours on the same line without using tabs.

I used to use panels ui/single column playlist which made this a bit easier with the alignabs function. Is there something simular in el playlist/ panel stack splitter?

Thanks in advance

1) you need to check "enable hover" and select Popup in the drop down list for group and item.  If you've done that already, try 10 ms delay instead of 0.

2) as far as I know, there's no way to do that.  what I do is

$font(,10,)
$drawtextex('blahblah',...)
$puts(x,$add(5,$gettextwidth('blahblah'))
$font(,12,)
$drawtextex('blahblah2',$get(x),...)

$font(Calibri,9,bold)
$drawtext(%list_index%,1,0,40,%el_height%,$get(tracknum_color),hcenter vcenter)
$drawtext($if2(%artist%  -  ,)%title% '('$if3(%genre%',' ,)%date%')' '['%bitrate%' kbps]',45,0,$sub(%el_width%,105),%el_height%,$get(item_text_color),vcenter end_ellipsis)
$drawtext(%length%,$sub(%el_width%,60),0,45,%el_height%,$get(item_text_color),right vcenter)

How can I sort my groups by year?

I tried to do like this, but can't get it working. What is 'x'? I want to make title and genre text in different color and maybe font.

I'd like to request an option that lets the "now playing" command work when the "Display only the focused group" setting is checked. That way I can effectively force the playlist in my now playing view to only display tracks from the currently playing album.

Misc tab, enter a display name and put %year% in the sort format.

That didn't work.

I'd like to request an option <snip>

My bad, it's %date%.

Nevermind, it exists, just hidden in the config I was using.

You don't have to worry about the x, it's a variable, you don't have to use them.

What he means is using $gettextwidth to get the length of the tags, then using $add to set the spacing between them.

Here's how it looks with the first three lines of your code:

$font(Calibri,9,bold)
$drawtext(%list_index%,1,0,40,%el_height%,$get(tracknum_color),hcenter vcenter)
$drawtext($if2(%artist%  -  ,),45,0,$sub(%el_width%,105),%el_height%,$get(item_text_color),vcenter end_ellipsis)
$drawtext(%title%,$add($gettextwidth(%artist%),60),0,$sub(%el_width%,105),%el_height%,$get(item_text_color),vcenter end_ellipsis)

I think because of $add($gettextwidth(%artist%) can't make alignment like before, is it possible to 'minus' $gettextwidth from $sub(%el_width%,105) (of course, if there is the problem)?
