Columns UI appearance, Post a screenshot of your config! Options

VS = visual style, like windows blinds skins, etc...

A pretty simple design that I started from scratch and tinkered with ever since:

Oh.

I use Microsoft's Zune theme.

I've been continuing to develop a config with Panel Splitter. There is still work to be done on the mini mode, but it's coming together.

wow nice
what is the vs. please???

By the look of it he's using the Zune theme. It's free from MS. First result: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=zune%20theme
It's official so you don't need to patch anything.

Hi

I'm woking on my own config but i still need to figure out a few things so i try to take a look at other configs to see what is achievable.

ZeeJay your config looks great, if you don't mind i really would like to know how you managed to get those gradients on the playlist grouping and if the left panel is a track info mod panel.
Would be great if you would share you config!
I really need some good track info mod configs to learn from...

This is my WIP:



Since i listen mostly to albums but also use CD/DVD, Internet streams and have a few spare tracks i tried to work on some sort of grouping that recognizes the tracks and groups them automatically by Album, CD/DVD, Single track or Internet Stream. There are still many things to improve...

Hey guys, there are some great foobars out there, nice work.

Over the past day I've been having a go at copying iTunes (just for the challenge really) as precisely as I can, and have so far come up with this:


All the buttons do roughly what they do in Apple iTunes, and it uses powerpanels for the seekbar and volume. There is also a spectrum on the track display if the little arrow button is clicked. It also uses Shpeck visualisations. I'm wondering how much more time I should spend on this...

The next step would be adding in cover flow (not too tough) and album display (maybe a bit more tricky).

Would be good to hear your comments!

I'm pretty happy with this latest attempt. I tried to strike a balance between function, simplicity, and aesthetics, and I, at least, think I succeeded.

I'm done with my config for the time being. Here is the final version for now, complete with quick search and a working, functional seekbar.

good work, have you resolve your pb of settings with WSH ?

will you share this config ?

[d0ng]

I second that, your config looks great tgpo.

It was the weirdest thing. It all of a sudden started working. I can't explain it, but I'm happy with it.

will you share this config ?

Sure thing.

Before I do though, I'm going to make it a little easier to configure for other systems. That way the end user won't have to dig through code to change things.

Simple, with lots of info visible, controlled by Screen Sharing on OS X (and Ultra VNC on the XP machine). It works for me:

[Falstaff]

mine, always my Ibiza config : ColumnsUI + Panel Stack Splitter

here is the v1.4 preview :

[punkeye]

Well, here's my layout. It's simple but provides me with all I need


(Yes I realize the image is a bit large/wide but I wanted the layout to take advantage of my widescreen so...)

Please. Share your config. It looks great.

Hi there!

I'm using foobar now for a while and began developing my first selfmade config for ColumnsUI with PanelStackSplitter/ELPlaylist now. Here's a first look:



It's a very very early version without many of the features I want to add to it - but it plays my music and looks somewhat decent already

Some things I want to add in the future:

- seek- /volumebar with WSH-Panel (and get rid of the menu)
- ratings
- Artwork and lyrics panel (nearly done)
- song info with links to wikipedia etc using foo_run
- some decent album art browser (maybe using GraphicalBrowser)
- some better looking buttons
- mini mode and fullscreen mode

I don't know, when it will be done. Well, maybe I'll share it, if you're interested!

PS: Many thanks to tgpo for the idea to show the album art as the background of playlist groups!

It just works so well there

[necropimp]

finally upgraded from 0.8.3 and nearly got my original setup back the way it was... just need to figure out how to do custom buttons

for comparison... here's how 0.8.3 has looked for me since 2005 http://jim7.home.insightbb.com/foobar/foobar3.png

Hi all!

Here's my first own Columns UI apperance

[Dirhael]

Added a few things since my last post, and changed various things here and there due to it [the config] not looking exactly right when I moved back to XP from Vista...


@punkeye: I don't remember if I sent you my config or not (just moved, then summer came so my memory's all just a blur), so if I didn't just shoot me a PM and I'll send you a copy.

[marcelush]

simple... how i like it!
