[Not my release] foo_uie_panel_splitter, A Columns UI plugin that works similarly to Panels UI Options

foo_uie_panel_splitter

I just tried this Plugin and I think it is fantastic. It is a bit like panel ui but a bit more user friendly.It is still in developement and it is in alpha state, but for me it works fine.
As its name says it is a plugin for columns ui.

Screenshot of the dialog:



By using the pseudo transparent mode you can use the normal seekbar and buttons but without the grey (or whatelses colour your style uses) background.

Example:


Maybe Terrestrial is the develloper of this plugin? There are some similarities between Panel ui and this plugin:
For example
- the different drawing types
- the way the panels have coordinates

Maybe some more people will find this plugin useful.

I would like to hear the foobar dev's take on this before using it.

Is this implementation better than panels_ui (which I never used because it's buggyness and memory eating skills)

interesting, you havent used the component, yet you say its buggy and memory eating? perhaps that is the case when you get people filling it with ridiculous amounts o' crap. ive been using panelsui/columns ui for years and i like to think that my config is stable and resource friendly yet very complex and functional. but not bloated like half the crap you see in ppl's screenshots.

Well. I have used it for a total of a quarter of an hour.
And that brought on some crashes and a huge memory usage.

And that was with some of the more well known configs, like fofr's.
But you are probably right. and I guess resource friendly differs from person to person.

But enough about Panels UI.
How are the memory usage and stability of this one?

Please let's get back to topic.

How are the memory usage and stability of this one?

I don't know. Since this component is in alpha status and in devellopement there are no reliable informations.

I don't even know who many people are testing or using this component.

Maybe the people here can collect some informations?
