Modulez Player 1.7.0 — Release Notes

Version 1.7.0 focuses on fullscreen visualization and simple, customizable appearance controls.

Highlights

  • Fullscreen Wavescope and MilkDrop: F11, double-click, or the Fullscreen Vis button enters fullscreen; Escape exits.
  • Visualizer navigation: Previous, Next, and Random mode/preset options in the right-click menu, with labels that match the active engine.
  • Playback from the visualizer: Previous/Next Song options and Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right shortcuts work without leaving the visualization.
  • Discoverable controls: The Vis tab includes a concise right-click hint, and context menus show available shortcuts.
  • Charcoal by default: A neutral dark GTK theme with rainbow sliders for Background Color and Highlight Color.
  • Brightness control: Adjust the darkness of the player without reducing custom color saturation. Preferences persist across restarts, and Restore Original Colors resets the controls.
  • Theme-aware main spectrum: The small spectrum on the Player tab retains a two-color gradient while adapting to custom colors and brightness.
  • Visualizer toolbar styling: The WebKit controls above Wavescope/MilkDrop follow the selected player colors; the generated visualizations retain their own independent palettes.

Compatibility and packaging

  • Linux x86-64 AppImage intended for testing on Linux Mint 22.3 XFCE before publication.
  • The AppImage build is designed to bundle visualizer resources and relevant runtime dependencies.
  • Compatibility with older distributions, including Debian 12, has not been verified. The current build may require a newer GLIBC.

Existing playback features

Modulez Player continues to support tracker modules through libxmp, additional Amiga formats through UADE, C64 SID, ZX Spectrum music, MIDI/SoundFonts, FFmpeg audio formats, the 10-band equalizer, playlist repeat modes, WAV export, HVSC browsing, and integrated IRC chat.
