foo_uie_graphical_browser.dll (2008/04/20 rev015)

Album cover browser for the active playlist.

Settings are per panel so if you delete a panel, the settings for that panel also disappear.

Blank → Whatever works. → Sorted by grouped strings.

If you want to arrange in the same order as the playlist?>? $num(%gb_playlist_number%,10)

You can apply different level of transparence to every pixel. (e.g.: transparent background with full opacity image and text.)
I think that GDI can't be used, please use GDI+ only.
Even with GDI+, text rendering without using $gp_set_text_rendering_hint(aa) doesn't look good enough.

Draw order:
Popup > Per track(0) > Per track(1) > …
Rendering settings (e.g.: pen, brush, font, …) can't be set again midway.

Dimension calculations

Functions are divided into GDI and GDI+. They are different in pens, brushes and points.
For GDI, to set color with "r-g-b", use a base 10 number for each color component;
otherwise use base 16 number with "rrggbb". For GDI+, to set color with "a-r-g-b",
use a base 10 number for each color component and alpha channel; otherwise use
base 16 number with "aarrggbb". If you want to draw some thing with transparency
or effects like anti-aliasing, use GDI+. Some fonts (probably OpenType fonts with
PostScript outline) can't be used in GDI+ mode. Full-width hyphen can't be
displayed right in GDI+ mode.
