djdarko Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 On the main player page. Look below the left side of the album art. You see IIIII five lines? Tap that button, it has the option to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgwerner Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! ? but why the **** not in Settings/Visualisation??? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ame11 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Cheers djdarko Searching everywhere couldn't find it.. Easy once you know how,but shouldn't it be in the 'Visualisation' settings?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I must admit I think it would make sense to have the same on/off option within the Visualisation Settings menu too. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Balooon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yes, it very well should be: it's a setting. It should be opt in. And tapping the song should work the same in "full screen" as in "fade" as in "no visualization" , instead of behaving differently depending on the visualization setting.

Husker991 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I completely agree, this is poor application design. There also needs to be an option to turn the visualizations off within the visualizations menu. Thank you for guiding us there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, add the option in setting and the option "Nothing" as first preset. If someone needs to search for help, this shows that the current option is not very intuitive.

PatM Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 This is the single most annoying thing about the new version. Twice now I have accidentally enabled visualization and spent the next 10 minutes going crazy trying to just SEE WHAT I'M DOING! there should be a n item in the visualization settings to switch this off until switched back on at the same place!!! 😤😤😤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Visualisations menu should not only have an Disable/Enable/FullScreen control, but also a tickbox under it to control whether the same switch should be duplicated as an icon on the player screen at all.

flyingdutchman Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 In my $yaps$ skin you can hide the 4 buttons. I myself never use them so no need to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My myself, I don't happen to use either the Visualisation icon or the Repeat icon, however I do use the Sleep Timer and the Shuffle icon all the time.

When it was accidentally enabled again by a random touch on the icon, the visualization makes it hard to see the rest of the UI so I wasn't reminded of it. I'm completely with PatM on this point.

PatM Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 As to why 10 minutes, I never use visualization so I'm unfamiliar with the button. Mostly though, I cant see the button or any thing else on main screen once visualization is enabled. Maybe it's my display settings or something, but after ACCIDENTALLY AND UNKNOWINGLY tapping button, I only see wild animation, can't see any details on main screen or get to any help except settings or the forum I think I remember. Would be great if visualization and/or the button could be disabled all together. Most of 10minutes was spent on password reset as I keep forgetting to sign in ONLY WITH USERNAME, not email address. When my above post, I thought reset was the only way into the forum. Accepts new pswd but subsequent sign in's only work with username. My reflex is to use email address and autofill defaulted to the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 @PatM the following changes were implemented in Poweramp to help with this issue: - there is Settings / Visualizations option (duplicates main screen button, but helps those who searches it in options) - when Visualization is turned on, Poweramp shows “toast” hint for a long time (Visualization... Long press for more options) There are also plans for buttons reassignment (at least 3 buttons can be reassigned/disabled - i.e. visualization, sleep timer, and the placeholder at the center). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatM Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Very cool. The heads and shoulders best music player improves based on user feedback! It's gratifying to see this. So few developers seem to listen or care. I never use visualization so I didn't notice that the settings had been updated. I'm a believer and now an even greater fan. 🤩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
