Hello Beat-Breaker

Sorry to have built your hopes up, forget everything I have said. It is NOT possible to change Text, and Cover Art individually. This may be rectified in the next version of G-Force.

I thought as much but for a moment you gave me hope!!

What a strange thing to do, have this function then actively remove it!!!???? Just bizarre!!! ... and really annoying, it's not like the appearance of a visualizer is important is it!!!!!!!!!!

Let's wait for the next one then...

Bump...

I'd like to chime in and request the reinstatement of this feature in some way. I use a 40-inch TV display, and in the old version (v4.x.x) of G-Force, I had album art sized at 660px. I was quite disappointed today after updating to the latest version and finding that now album art is limited to a maximum of 375px, and that only with the text size maxed out to be ridiculously huge. I realize that I may be in a minority here, as it doesn't appear much noise has been made about this since this thread was born, but I agree with the previous poster that removing this functionality was an odd move. :-s

You're not alone. There are many people who would like to see some of the old put back into the new. We've been told that they would put back the option to save themes via the toolbar but that has not happened yet.

Don't want to sound like I'm posting just to grouse. I do think the upgraded features and improved UI are stellar. I'm no programmer - perhaps there was simply no way around deprecating certain functions in order to achieve those elements which were enhanced.

Hello All

In my own personal opinion the best thing SoundSpectrum could / should do with G-Force is go back to the pre python days. I uninstalled version 5.0+ and re-installed version 4.3.2 as I could control the text, and cover art separately. I could save my choice of WaveShapes, FlowFields, ColorMaps etc as a theme using the G-Force Toolbar. At start up I just simply chose my Theme and go, plus, I do not have that annoying useless User Interface (or Interfarce) which not even SoundSpectrum can explain how to save custom themes. They promised us a video showing us how to save themes with the user interface, that never happened. They promised us they would restore the save theme feature in the G-Force Toolbar, that has not happened either.
.

Yeah, I could have lived with v4.0.0, but I ran into that issue of album art randomly not appearing with J River MC. I guess if I have to choose between consistent tiny art and hit-or-miss displaying, the former is the lesser of the two evils. Plus, I really like the "Black Band" animation. :D

Hi guys,

Sorry that I'm so late getting on this. I like your suggestions, and I'll bring them up with Andy for our next version. No promises, but it's definitely worth considering.

BTT, as for your complaints about the interface, it sounds like you understand the concept of Themes and Categories. Am I right? So, where on the interface do you get lost? If you send me an email or support request, we'll work on it together. Then I can add it to our documentation on the subject, which starts at the link below.

Thanks for your input!
