I've added this for build 118.

Repeat button now toggles between Repeat Playlist, Repeat Track and Repeat Off.

I've also added an indicator for Repeat Track called 'indi_repeattrack' or 'indi_repeattrk'

Sweet man thanks for this! :D

However...I'm a little concerned to what this will do to the thousands of users of older skins without the 3 indicators involved. That's why I suggested leaving the current button as it is with just 2 states for Off and rpt Track and have the rpt PL option on the PL itself. If the current repeat button suddenly has 3 states, all skins before this point will disfunction and confuse everybody.

That said, I would much prefer it all on a single 3 state button, but I'm just thinking about the compatability. But I guess all things have to upgrade at some point so screw it, have 3 :)

If the new public build is marketed as "Xion 2" and not just an update, it will attract more downloads and hopefuly more skin author updates so we have less problems :)

Peace, Lance
I made the Xion Default skin. Ask me questions and stuff.

Here's how I see the new tristate button working with older skins to avoid any compatibility issues.

1. If old skin and does not have any repeat icons = no change
2. If old skin and does have 1 or 2 repeat icons only = then no change on repeat track icon (ie the track icon uses the repeat playlist icon as a fallback)
3. new skin should have all 3, if not falls back to 2 then 1

Ok 2. is not ideal, however, I would also have thought the status would be changed in the songticker i.e. Repeat: Track, Repeat: Playlist, Repeat: Off

Tell us this is what is implemented (or not ;) ) Cliff :?:

This next release won't be Xion 2.0.

I didn't separate this into two separate commands, I wanted it all as one.

I was coming up with all kinds of ideas to support it backwards, but its overkill. I'm NOT allowing a skin to change functionality. That's even more confusing. 'When I use skin X I can only get repeat to repeat playlist or be off, but when I use skin Y, I can get all 3 options, WTF?!?!?'

Here's how it works:

There is only one button still. The repeat button. Its just a toggle now. Most skins use just a button so this breaks NO functionality.

The ONLY thing that's changed is there is a new indicator. A LOT of skins don't even use indicators so this shouldn't be too big a problem.

My XSe7en skin will be broken if this is the case.

But I would be willing to change it.

So should everyone else, so I'm with Cliff on this one. It's not a hard fix to imply if your skin is broken by this.
