So il try again. I really do think Square genre icons would be better . Or maybe an option to change it or something.

It took us ages to make them rounded lol  ;D, its actually easy'er to make em square!, if you want to put it in the wish list as a suggestion we might be able to oblige in a future build (not next build though cos its nearly finished :-) ).

Its just when i ad borders to my genre icons it cuts the corners off and its hard to exactly match your curves on the space provided.

Nice one!!

Good job on the Video update although i havent fully tested the video side yet.
I've come across a couple of things though.
Firstly i have tracks By 'Chase & Status' in my Library which are now showing 'Chase   Status'. :D
and also if you select the popular tab
then select your album
then select back
it takes you to a previous genre rather than the popular section. :-\

by the way , the themes grown on me over time. i quite like it now. ::)

the chase and status thing is affecting the search too. Anything typed in after Chase , and it won't show.  ;D

Look above mate. chase and status im sure used to show up as 'chase & status' but now shows 'chase   Status'. Even tho the file is named chase & status. Thus searching chase is the only way for the tracks to show up

I tag all my tracks manually.

The reason you dont see the "&" is because 'Windows' treats the "&" symbol as a special character.

There are 2 easy workarounds..

1. use Filename Fixer, it has a dedicated function to replace the "&" character with the word " and "

2. simply add another ampersand, this will tell Windows you wish the "&" to show, example  "Chase && Status" would display as "Chase & Status"

Its just a quirk of the windows display system   ::)
