Hello,
Is there any way to get it to display nothing when there's no playback? (ie, when Windows is first started, and when playback is stopped) |

Hi aeidein. Deskband is invisible when foobar is not loaded. Are you using outdated version? ;-)

QUOTE (eldarien @ Jan 29 2012, 15:20)  Hi aeidein. Deskband is invisible when foobar is not loaded. Are you using outdated version? ;-) ah, you're right. I was also referring to when foobar is started and playback has not begun, and Deskband shows "[Stopped]" and the seekbar/volume bar. Would it be possible to have Deskband be invisible when foobar is stopped? or even when it is paused? Thanks for a great component! This is my preferred setup: http://i.imgur.com/oH5mk.jpg CODE Text1: %artist%' - '%title% '('%album%')' $crlf() $repeat(' ',90) $repeat($char(9733),%rating%)
0/6/400/none Text2: %playback_time% $repeat(' ',50) %playback_time_remaining% 0/21/300 Seekbar: 30/26/140 Volume: 222/26/34 |

Or you can refuse implementing confusing, senseless and excentric features.

Of course it is possible, but I think such behavior may be quite confusing. Anyway, I'll see what I can do. Thanks. My reason is I often leave foobar running in the background, and would prefer the display to be hidden when there's nothing to display (ie nothing's playing). Sorry if it seems frivolous; I completely understand if you choose not to implement it. Thanks for reading. This post has been edited by aeidein: Feb 1 2012, 23:55 |

Wow, this is great, thanks! I've been thinking something like this would be cool for a while now, just reinstalled windows and was setting foobar back up and saw this when looking for plugins. It's definitely the coolest/most useful extension I've seen so far. Thanks again.

meDveD.spb: This picture shows that your config is incorrect. Fix it by hand or delete your config file (it is located at C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\configuration\foo_deskband_controls.dll.cfg).
Or did you want to ask something else? This post has been edited by eldarien: Feb 10 2012, 19:16 |

Uncheck "Auto show/hide" in deskband preferences - it is almost invisible without foobar opened anyway. This is a security dialog added in Windows Vista for deskbands that want to autoshow themselfs. |

Thanks, it's not visible at all! |

Furthermore, on Windows7 x64, if you enable "Auto/show hide" and "Hide if not playing" explorer.exe crashes sometimes.
So it's better to uncheck the two options

Hi eldarien,
Still enjoying the component very much and using it all the time. A small request, though - since you already know how to detect RTL languages (Hebrew for example) and scroll the text accordingly, would it be possible to also automatically align text to the right in such case? Thanks, Adam. |

Still enjoying this great component
 Hope you don't mind me asking, but would it be difficult to implement an option to set the level of text transparency? Thanks again for a great component. This post has been edited by aeidein: May 11 2012, 08:02 |

I think this is a great plugin but it doesn't work on my system.
I have it installed and activated. Look at the screenshot:  But there are no icons or something in the taskbar. And there is also nothing when i'm starting foobar. Must i insert some icon-sets in the icons-folder? I thinked this was optional step!?  My operating system is Windows 7 64bit and my foobar version is v1.1.11. Thanks for your help.
