Color code key column in library

[naught101]

It would be great if Mixxx colour coded the key information, according to the Camelot Wheel/circle of fifths (http://www.mixedinkey.com/Book/How-to-Use-Harmonic-Mixing-2), or some similar notation, where similar colours indicate that keys are harmonious.

Yes, this is an exact duplicate. Sorry :/

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

No, no duplicate. Bug #872006 is a request is a request to change the color according to the playing deck. This Bug is a request for a static color code.

Can we change this to Won't Fix? We now have the ability to sort the library by key in order of the circle of fifths and now we have track colors that set the background color of the library row. If the key column is also colored, I think that would create visual chaos.

I can imagine that some DJs comming from other tools are used to use the colors for keys.

I agree that showing two colors at the same time is not reasonable.
Maybe we can add a features that auto colors the track by key,
A kind of preferences option to select between individual colors or key colors.

I don't think there is a great demand, but if a contributor had a demand he should be able to pick this up and implement the feature.

I don't think we should clutter the preferences with an option for this.
