ncmpcpp config

Agurken · 2010-03-15 14:06:52

Hi

I've installed ncmpcpp, and saw that in the bottom, there is typed: "Playing: (song name)" and "Playing:" is in bold. How do i 'un'bold it, i've looked through the config file, but can't find the configuration for that particular line.

Can anybody help me configure that line?

Thanks

Did you play around with the options I posted here? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 22#p725722

Post the display part of your config.

##### song format #####
##
## for song format you can use:
##
## %l - length
## %f - filename
## %D - directory
## %a - artist
## %A - album artist
## %t - title
## %b - album
## %y - year
## %n - track number (01/12 -> 01)
## %N - full track info (01/12 -> 01/12)
## %g - genre
## %c - composer
## %p - performer
## %d - disc
## %C - comment
## $R - begin right alignment
##
## you can also put them in { } and then it will be displayed
## only if all requested values are available and/or define alternate
## value with { }|{ } eg. {%a - %t}|{%f}
##
## Note: Format that is similar to "%a - %t" (i.e. without any additional
## braces) is equal to "{%a - %t}", so if one of the tags is missing,
## you'll get nothing.
##
## text can also have different color than the main window has,
## eg. if you want length to be green, write $3%l$9
##
## available values:
##
## - 0 - default window color (discards all other colors)
## - 1 - black
## - 2 - red
## - 3 - green
## - 4 - yellow
## - 5 - blue
## - 6 - magenta
## - 7 - cyan
## - 8 - white
## - 9 - end of current color
##
## Note: colors can be nested.
##
#
song_list_format = "{$8%a $7-$8 }{$8%t}$R{$7[$8%b$7]} {$7($8%l$7)$9}"
#
song_status_format = "{%a} - {%t}"
#
song_library_format = "{%n - }{%t}|{%f}"
#
tag_editor_album_format = "{(%y) }%b"
#
##
## Note: Below variables are for alternative version of user's interface.
## Their syntax supports all tags and colors listed above plus some extra
## markers used for text attributes. They are followed by character '$'.
## After that you can put:
##
## - b - bold text
## - u - underline text
## - r - reverse colors
## - a - use alternative character set
##
## If you don't want to use an attribute anymore, just put it again, but
## this time insert character '/' between '$' and attribute character,
## e.g. {$b%t$/b}|{$r%f$/r} will display bolded title tag or filename
## with reversed colors.
##
#
#alternative_header_first_line_format = "$b$1$aqqu$/a$9 {%t}|{%f} $1$atqq$/a$9$/b"
#
alternative_header_second_line_format = "{{$4$b%a$/b$9}{ - $7%b$9}{ ($4%y$9)}}|{%D}"
#
##
## Note: Below variables also supports
## text attributes listed above.
##
#
now_playing_prefix = "$r"
#
now_playing_suffix = "$/r"
#
browser_playlist_prefix = "$8playlist$9 "
#
selected_item_prefix = "$8"
#
selected_item_suffix = "$9"
#
## colors are not supported for below variable
#
song_window_title_format = "{%a - }{%t}"
#
##### columns settings #####
##
## syntax of song columns list format is "column column etc."
##
## - syntax for each column is:
##
## (width of column)[column's color]{displayed tag}
##
## Note: Width is by default in %, if you want a column to
## have fixed size, add 'f' after the value, e.g. (10)[white]{a}
## will be the column that take 10% of screen (so the real column's
## width will depend on actual screen size), whereas (10f)[white]{a}
## will take 10 terminal cells, no matter how wide the screen is.
##
## - color is optional (if you want the default one, type [])
##
## Note: You can give a column additional attributes by putting appropriate
## character after displayed tag character. Available attributes are:
##
## - r - column will be right aligned
## - E - if tag is empty, empty tag marker won't be displayed
##
## E.g. {lr} will give you right aligned column of lengths.
##
#
song_columns_list_format = "(7f)[white]{l} (25)[white]{a} (40)[white]{t} (30)[white]{b}"
#
##### various settings #####
#
##
## Note: Custom command that will be executed each
## time song changes. Useful for notifications etc.
##
## Attention: It doesn't support song format anymore.
## Use `ncmpcpp --now-playing SONG_FORMAT` instead.

#
##
## How shall key_screen_switcher work?
##
## - "previous" - switch between current and last used screen
## - "sequence: 2 -> 9 -> 5" - switch between given sequence of screens.
##
## Screen numbers you can use after 'sequence' keyword are:
##
## - 1 - help
## - 2 - playlist
## - 3 - browser
## - 4 - search engine
## - 5 - media library
## - 6 - playlist editor
## - 7 - tag editor
## - 8 - outputs
## - 9 - visualizer
## - 10 - clock
##
## As you can see, above example will switch between
## playlist, visualizer and media library screens.
##
#screen_switcher_mode = "sequence: 2 -> 3"
#
##
## Note: You can define startup screen for ncmpcpp
## by choosing screen number from the list above.
##

#

#

## "The" word while sorting items in browser, tags in
## media library, etc.

#
#block_search_constraints_change_if_items_found = "yes"

#
#media_library_disable_two_column_mode = "no"
#
#enable_window_title = "yes"
#
##
## Note: You can choose default search mode for search
## engine. Available modes are:
##
## - 1 - use mpd built-in searching (no regexes, pattern matching)
## - 2 - use ncmpcpp searching (pattern matching with support for regexes,
##       but if your mpd is on a remote machine, downloading big database
##       to process it can take a while
## - 3 - match only exact values (this mode uses mpd function for searching
##       in database and local one for searching in current playlist)
##
#
#search_engine_default_search_mode = "1"
#
##
## Note: These triggers will allow you to phisically remove
## files and directories from your hdd using ncmpcpp's
## browser screen.

allow_physical_directories_deletion = "no"

##### lyrics support #####

My bad: unless I am missing something it seems it is part of the default display. You can either turn off the statusbar, or break it like so:

statusbar_color = "white, normal"

Someone else may have better info...

Agurken · 2010-03-15 23:03:54

What do u mean with default display?

jasonwryan · 2010-03-15 23:19:48

I mean it doesn't appear to be something that you can alter within the config file (as far as I can tell)...

Agurken · 2010-03-16 00:39:08

it's just, the images i saw on the other thread, those guys didn't had it bolded.

anonymous_user · 2010-03-16 05:56:38

Can you disable bold fonts in your terminal? Or maybe switch to a font that doesn't have bold?

milomouse · 2010-03-16 13:49:59

Sorry. Mine aren't bold because I don't like bold and therefore made bold into "medium" font weight by putting this in ~/.Xdefaults

## ~/.Xdefaults
urxvt*boldFont: -*-fixed-medium-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-*
urxvt*italicFont: -*-fixed-medium-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-*
urxvt*boldItalicFont: -*-fixed-medium-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-*

You can do xterm*boldFont: if you use xterm, too, if I'm not mistaken. Of course you don't have to change italics if you like it; just an example. Other than that, you have to change the font weight value for bold in the source before compiling ncmpcpp, which I personally don't like to do because it's everywhere.
