[ColumnsUI] How achieve library list (with album covers) and working filters?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I've recently installed ColumnsUI to enhance my experience with foobar. As the community saying goes, "the best theme is the one you made yourself", so I tried that approach. In the old DefaultUI, I had the whole library list and current playlist side by side. That let me quickly create a new playlist and populate it. Just double-click the track in the library area and "bang!" it was at the end of the current playlist.

But for the life of me, I cannot reproduce it in the ColumnUI in the way I want it to look. Sure, there is the "Album list panel", but as the name states, it is just the list. I really want to see the covers in the library area.

Another issue I have is that reFacets filters only work in Playlist view. When I switch to Library, clicking once on the filter value just highlights it; clicking twice adds all tracks with such an attribute to the current playlist. I just want to browse :(

Minor issues: I cannot remove the "Add to favourites" button near the Search Filter on the toolbar; ctrl+Z no longer reverts changes to the Playlist (it worked like this in DefaultUI)

Sorry for unpolished mess, but maybe this will help:
