No Cover Art with the Desktop Widget

[y0z]

The Insensitive, Song, & Cover plugin displays song information on the desktop but not the cover art.
Any idea which file I need to change/edit in order to get the cover to display?

The Button, Song, & Cover plugin does display the cover art.
I'm using GMB 1.1.5 on Fedora 13.

in general you'll find the layouts in /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layouts (or whatever your path to your gmusicbrowser-installation on fedora might be).

there you can look for layouts that contain the line

Code Select Expand

Type=D

you can then save your own layouts in ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/layouts/yourlayout.layout - either more in one file or all in different files, that's up to you. after a restart you should be able to select the newly added/modified desktop-widget-layout.

and to finally get to your question: i experience the same behavior and so far haven't been able to fix it, might be a bug.

It is possible that the problem comes from the minimal size that can be set for the layout in the plugin option, try to increase it, both width and height.

Thanks ochosi and Quentin, I was able to get the cover art to display by editing /usr/share/gmusicbrowser/layout and commenting out the last two lines of [D_insens_song_cover] and then inserting the VBmain line from [D_buttons_song_cover]. I also increased maxsize from 0 to 100.

#VBText          = 2HBTitle 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum
#VBmain         = VBText _Cover(maxsize=0,xalign=0,yalign=0)
VBmain           = HBbuttons 2HBTitle 2HBArtist 2HBAlbum -Cover(forceratio=1,maxsize=100)

It's not an elegant solution, but it works. :)
