I have always been against sharing entire setups as I don't like zipping redundant data and it breaks things.

But! I've made a complete package (which too big for this forums, so I've upped it to several sites)

OK UPDATE :]
===================================================================================



DOWNLOAD 1.7

Ok so right, lots of things have changed with version 1.7.

- Colour/style vars are almost all controllable from globals section.
- There are several modes of colouring that are selectable (see last part of post)
- Singles mode is enabled by default because I prefer it at the moment. There is an option to have artist/album/etc in all one column, you just have to go to the columns view and hide the ones that you want. It would be nice if I could select the columns to show based on whether something is a single or not, but the only way to dynamically hide/show columns is based on playlist name, so you'll have to choose for yourself :]
- Tracknumber has a now has coloured bar next to it and isn't filled itself (idea stolen from the appearance thread.). ***however, the old style one is still there, but hidden.***
- There are more weird columns that do things.


COLOUR MODES

My favourite bizarre idea.

So basically in the globals section, you can select a mode:

CODE

// Mode of display - normal, warmth, rainbow, fade, album
$puts(mode,normal)

Replace the "normal" inside the $puts thingy with one of the above things.

Here is what they do:
(by "everything" I mean things that have colour applied to them, not all ui elements)

Also, to configure the properties of each thing (ie specific hue/sat values) you'll have to scroll down in the globals box and find each individual part.

normal: puts everything all as a hue/saturation of your choice like this:




warmth: basically makes stuff "glow" ie go more saturated and orange based on PLAY_COUNTER (so you need foo_playcount to use this).

Everything starts out a blue colour initially, but first listen it starts going red, starts out very pale and grey. If you find that it goes orange too quickly, you can adjust the multipliers in the individual section.

Can seem a bit drab with a new install of playcounter.

It looks like this:




album: hue adjustment based on CRC32 hash of album name. In english - that makes each album a different colour. Quite pretty, annoys me, but a lot of people find it pretty useful so I put it in.

It looks like this:
oh noes no image

fade: A neat fade effect which isn't particularly functional, but can look really nice as an alternative to "normal" and fits nicely with some windows themes.

It looks like this:

//image removed due to lacking allowed amount. God damn IPB.

rainbow: RAINBOW!!!!

Also, it scales to albumlength, provided %totaltracks% is provided.

It looks like this:

//image removed due to lacking allowed amount. God damn IPB.




REQUIREMENTS

- foobar 0.9.*
- foo_ui_columns


These are not necessarily required, but useful to take full advantage of some crap:

- All albums are auto-track-numbered, so that they have TOTALTRACKS (this is used to calculate some gradient type things)
- foo_playcounter (UNOFFICIAL ONE!)

And these plugins are generally nice to have:

- foo_uie_browser
- foo_uie_trackinfo
- foo_uie_albumart_msn

===================================================================================

Rwrawrr

At time of posting , xx0r.light-1.4-dynamic.fcs is the latest one with changeable hues.

Change the hues in the "GLOBALS" section ;D


Here are some example layouts using them (big images because it is MY thread...muhahah):

On older versions (anything other than newest, actually), you have to have "all" in your playlist name.

This is easy to edit out with the filters in the columns config :]

Fonts used are HaxrCorp and standard 07_57 caps 6pt

Older versions use anything from calibri to segoe UI

[tool++]

Part of the font (segoe UI)

the pixel font used for the newer shot is standard 07_57 caps

[emei]

what visual style is that?

[tool++]

A mod of area04 combined with some things from RulerAGV. Releasing it would get me raped in many ways.

I'm tempted to attach it here, but I don't believe in going behind the backs of authors.


e: Just to note, I totally wouldn't mind getting raped by heylove.

Im not quite sure what you mean, can you explain a little more. Sorry. Oh and the fcs im trying to use is the Fb2k import one. Thanks

EDIT: Nvm i figured it out, but got another question, is there anyway to make the text show up when i have a track selected? because the title gets totally blacked out and idk what to do, ive messed with the custom colors and globals. im using the xx0r Light one.thanks

[FRICSO]

good job tool++

[leavingharvard]

Tool, I have a question. What Columns_UI release are you using and what foobar2000? I've been trying to figure it out and I can't.

[PlasmaWrath]

Hey tool, would you mind updating this as you update your FCS?

[tool++]

Good idea, I'll do a decent update thingy with my new latest FCS as its fully dynamic and controllable from globals now.

AND

it has these funky different modes.


OOOH

Need to fix up a few things first though.


Update post is done. Enjoy.

If I've missed anything, tell me.
