Amarok 2 has the most configurable playlist of any music player in existence. While most offer a columnar layout as default and perhaps a few other fixed views for the playlist, Amarok2 puts the power in your hands to shape the playlist any way you see fit. To start you off, there are three example playlist layouts that you can use as starting points to create the layout that fits your flow the best.

==Testing Archives==
|[[Image:KWordLayoutTut2.png|thumb|265px|A Second Layout Project]]|| In our second Layout Tutorial you will use your own pictures and text
|}


In this lesson you will revise the steps of the first tutorial:
[[Archive_Test1]] - begins a set of pages for testing the effects of moving pages to the Archive namespace
::* add text boxes and adjust their size and position
::* format text
::* add illustrations
::* adjust their size and position


You will create a page suitable for publicising a place or event, positioning and grouping images.  We will base this on holiday photos.
Results noted:


Before you start you may find it helpful to create a temporary folder containing all the pictures you intend to use.  For the purpose of this tutorial you should scale your pictures to no more than 125mm (5in) wide as inserting large images has an impact on printing time.
* If a page is archived with a redirect in place, the page name survives, and the page automatically redirects.   
* Any links in such a page continue to be blue (active) links.
* Because the original page name survives, it will always be counted in any DPL report.


As in our first layout project, select the blank page template and adjust your margins.  
* When a page is archived without a redirect the page name is freed up, appears entirely as an empty page, reusable as any other empty page.
* Any page that previously linked to it will see a red (empty page) link.
* The link from the original page is therefore broken and it will be necessary to guess the URL or search for it.
* Where pages are not likely to be needed much in future, such as the old-style translations, the advantage is that the pages that have been archived can easily be excluded from reports, giving more accurate results.


:For the first part of our album, write your heading as you did before, and a few lines of introductory text.
* <nowiki>__NOINDEX__</nowiki> on the page suppresses search spider visits and results in a new category, <nowiki>Category:Noindexed pages</nowiki>
* <nowiki>Category:Noindexed pages</nowiki> is strange, though, as only one of this set of pages is included, yet all four bear the category statement.

:Bring in a collection of pictures to make your introductory collage, and arrange them in a cluster. Make them approximately the size you want, but don't worry about being accurate.
== Following a particular language ==


:Choose one of the pictures that's approximately the size you want. The geometry of the frame is displayed on the bottom right of your screen. Make a note of the height and width
Q: Is there any way to review the translation process by some particular team?
A: You can use an Atom feed and your favorite feed reader (applet, widget). Example: http://userbase.kde.org/w/i.php?translations=only&trailer=%2Fuk&title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom


:On the Geometry tab set the width and height to the size you determined.  Do this for every picture, so that they are a matched set for size.

:Now the size of the photos is fixed, check for colour balance - if you have two similar coloured photos, should they be moved to get a better balance?
{{:Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}
 
:We are going to pull the photos in to overlap - you will necessarily lose part of the picture, so are the more boring bits where the overlaps might occur?  Move them around, if necessary.
 
:As you pull them in and can see the overlaps, experiment with layering them - from the menu bar, Frames, Lower Frame, or Raise Frame, until you are happy with the result.  Some collections of picture work better than others and you may have to compromise.
 
[[Image:KWordLayout2_2.png|250px|center]]
 
:Holding down Ctrl, click on each of the photos, then on the Group icon [[Image:Object-group-koffice.png]].  You will find that you can now move the whole group as one object.  Should you wish to make changes, simple use the Ungroup icon [[Image:Object-ungroup-koffice.png]], make your changes, then re-group the photos.  In this instance we don't want any text to flow alongside these images, so right-click on the group,and select Frame/Frameset Properties, "Text Runaround' tab, and select "Text will not run around this frame".
 
:Add the rest of your text, and maybe a slogan to end.  At this point you may find that you don't like the balance of your page, in which case, drag the photo group around, slowly, watching how your text adapts.  When you feel you have the best balance you can manage, you're done.
 
 
----
Plenty of white space is advisable in a photo album page, but if your margins are too large you will find that either the pictures or text suffer from lack of space.


First, create two Image boxes.  Place the first just under the title, and touching the right-hand margin.  In that one, place a photo that is typical of your destination.  Place a feature photo touching the left-hand margin, approximately corner-to-corner with the first photo.
[[Category:Admin]]


Now create a text frame,alongside your first picture, roughly filling the availlable space.  In Properties, give it a recognisable name, then in the Options tab, set "Do not show the extra text".  Close the properties box, and select the Text tool.  The text tool options appear at the lower right of the page.  Set the font style and size that you want, then either type directly into the box, or paste in ready-made text.


If your text overflows the area selected it will not be visible (due to the setting we just made). Now's the time to create a new text box alongside the second picture. Again, fill the available space.  The Connect Text Frames options page will pop up.  Click on the named frame you earlier created.
