Configuration

Refresh rates:
WinAmp polling: this value specifies how many times per second the plugin should check for status information updates (e.g. current song position).
LCD refresh: this value specifies how many times per second the dynamic output fields should be updated.

Scroll Speed:  
Sets the text scrolling speed in output fields. For fast scrolling speeds you have to specify a higher LCD refresh rate in the display configuration, otherwise the scrolling is not smooth!

Scroll Separator:  
Definition of the separator between the end and the beginning of a text that is scrolling.

Backlight
Timeout: the maximum timeout, a value of 0 means that no timeout is set.
Attention: not all display modules/drivers support the backlight and timeout function.
 
Kind of timeout: choose one of the following types:

1. global:
   The specified timeout value applies after the plugin starts.

2. after track change:
   The specified timeout is set after every track change.

3. after track or play status change:
   The specified timeout is set after every track or play status change.

Save As, Load: Saves and loads the complete configuration into ini files.
