Hi,
I love this software he is pretty young so i 'll be wait for future improvements.
The only thing that i need is to have the choice of the font size it's really important for librarian software.
So i agrre with the upper user more big font.
By the way i 'll see if it's possible to change it in the xml of the skin;but it would be cool to have the choice in options panel.

By the way really good soft i think it 'll be famous soon.

ps:Sorry for my english i am from France...

Edit:cool it seems that in the xml we can adjust the size i have just need to wait if it's ok for winyl cause he scanning my library and he's pretty fast!
And the skinning engine seems to be pretty good!

Edit:Ok it's possible to change the font or whatever in fact here the result for taste my needs.
Is it possible to skin scrollbar with png?

[Alexander]

Is it possible to skin scrollbar with png?

At this moment no, but this feature is planned.

Thx for the answer !

Winyl has a huge future for the sound quality and low resource consumption.

I recommend:

- Add more filters that can combine several criteria.
- When creating a playlist, mixing power to play in a sequential and not random as is currently done because it is not working because it repeats songs that play, ie will not mark the songs and reproduced at random.
- Correct recognition of headphones when connected, because to function, must be closed and re-enter Winyl and sometimes plays this step several times until finally you can play.

I don't understand what you mean, please write this differently.

Where do you change the font size of the song titles in the playlist? I can change the font size of the headers and other text fields and the spacing between songs but not the font size.
