Track Info Panel with ability to change font, Split from foo_uie_trackinfo Options

[terrestrial]

This is a modified foo_uie_trackinfo which uses a differet display function, which allows for different fonts / alignment.

Example screenshot:



and the code from the example:

CODE

$if(%_trackinfo_notrack%,
Stopped,

$align(left,top)
$font(forte,15,shadow,255-255-255)%title%$char(10)
$font(,12,,64-0-0)%album% ['['%date%']']$char(10)
$rgb(0,64,0)%artist%$char(10)
$rgb(64,0,0)%composer%test$char(10)

$align(right,bottom)
$font(Verdana,10,,0-0-0)%__codec%@%__bitrate%$char(10)
[%playback_time% / ]%length%

$align(left,bottom)
$font(Wingdings 2,13,,)
$if(%rating%,
$select(%rating%,
$rgb(155,0,0)ê,
êê,
êêê,
êêêê,
$rgb(0,155,0)êêêêê),
$rgb(155,155,155)ê)
)

ok, so here goes the 'align' post . formatting:

CODE

text$char(10)
// first block
$align(left,)$rgb(200,50,50)left$char(10)l
$align(center,)$rgb(50,200,50)center$char(10)c
$align(right,)$rgb(50,50,200)right$char(10)r
// this has no effect to the second block
$align(,bottom)
// second block
$align(left,)$rgb(100,0,0)left
$align(right,)$rgb(0,0,100)right
$align(center,)$rgb(0,100,0)center
// third block
$align(left,bottom)$rgb(200,50,50)left
$align(right,bottom)$rgb(50,50,200)right
$align(center,bottom)$rgb(50,200,50)center

result:



explanation (?):

let's look at the first block. it's result is on the first line in the screenshot, rendered with light colors. you can see only dark-green "center" in there, as it got over the light one.

"left" got put after "text", as the latter was already there and "left" was not allowed to draw over it. then we have "center", which was correctly put in the center.

now "right" (the light one) is interesting. it's not on the right side as it should be, but rather at what seems to be right edge of the center column. strange. these "l", "c" and "r" letters are just new lines of the sub-blocks of the first block; they show more precisely where the alignment line is.

now the second block. that's the one resulting to words rendered with darker colors. as you can see, that $align(,bottom) has no effect to it and $align functions in the second block assume "top" for the missing vertical alignment parameter (which is fine by me, it wasn't said to be "relative" or anything like that).

they show in the left, right and center columns on the first line respectively. they do not overdraw the existing texts (as they are not allowed to) with the only exception being "center" - it seems that center of a center is again the same center .

it gets interesting again for the last, third block. i've only changed the order in which i specify texts for corresponding columns. i put right in front of center - and the result is what one would expect in the other blocks too - right column has adjustment line on the right edge of the panel.
