like ant posted in this thread you can play around with the language txt-file to re-design the fields in size and/or position.
the original design:
the brandnew design:
this is a good design also for the people who have a lot of files on the HD.
you see all the necessary specs in one row.
so if you want this baby too, it is easy:
[1] choose from the tools menu the english language, not the default one.
[2] in the ant catalog directory/languages/ open the English.lng into a text editor and replace all the text between
Code: Select all
;**********
;* Frames *
;**********
[TMovieFrame]
Code: Select all
[TFieldsFrame]
[3] save it ant restart.
[4] if you want to hide the titlebar of the picture insert ToolbarPictureWindow.ShowCaption=0 under [main window].
in case you wonder:
i changed some titles like "translated title" is just "title".
the "cover" is the caption got from "borrower" and the borrower field is the one underneath the picture without caption.
the "source" in the picture is actually the "media type" because i rip a lot .
the disks field i completely hid as i dont need it.
but of course you could configure everything by yourself very easily.
