Thanks a lot Hadda.

Sorry I didn't see your message until now, but DocUK gave you an excellent and detailed reply - so the colours part is taken care of.

Until recently, I had no idea how the looks worked, reading thru the script file I was amazed of how much can be done with it.

One other tweak I made on my copy of Carbon was changing the behaviour of the Close button in the extreme right. I kept making a mistake ocasionaly, and left-clicking it to close the app (Foobar) as usual. But DocUK had programmed two different actions on that button.

Left click, it closes Foo_Looks. Right-click, it closes Foobar itself. Since I won't always remember that, , I read thru the script, found the part that does it, and changed it to the normal Close button (it closes Foobar on left click).

If ayone wants to do this mod, it's not hard. On the very last line in Carbon.ski you find (BOLD added to key words):



I changed it to this :



And it does what I want.

Very good work on this look.

A very nice touch is how you have tooltips enabled on all the buttons/controls that have more than one function. Well done.

The new graphics you and Dziuba are developing for it are very neat too, look forward to that future release. Thank you!

Can anyone please help me with this? All foo looks do the same thing for me.

I have a radeon9800pro, running foobar 0.8.2 and the newest version of foolooks.

looks like another StyleXP user maybe

ok, try clicking inside that colored box and pressing F9

that's always the first step in debugging this problem

That fixed my problem.. very odd

I'm not using StyleXP but I am using the UXTheme mulitpatcher. Perhaps that had something to do with it

the bug you reported is always related to one of the windows UI theme programs

it's a tough one to solve though

i'm glad that gave you a quick fix though.

we'll let you know if we can work out why it happens

I made today very very little update. (By dano sugestion toggle [PL<->Album Info] is avitable from all PL unactive area now).

@Blitze. If you like this graphics (older one) I'll make few modes on foopilot when project will going to end. But now I focused on one version. This graphics is experimental, the older one is Dziuba original project and I moded it a little. But finall version will be look different I know. .

Hi

Just a little suggestion, perhaps when viewing the tracklist, enable a scrollbar, so you can easily move through thousands of MP3s.

hmm maybe i should look thru the script and see if i can figure out stuff and tweak it hehe

too bad i'm a lazy bastard

@ssteven: Yes I know scrollbar is necessary
I thing that I'll make this and list of playlists on next weekend. . Changing order will be implement too.

foopilot is a very good skin but it is going to get even better

it's some problems with win rar archives

@hadda

i really love your skin but i miss an option to make it always on top

edit: and i'd prefer left klick for next and right for previous

Thanks

@KondzioR: I do not know why. Maybe becouse I added to archive with 7zip
aplication. Try to download again I updated file.

@Linkin:- I do no know how to fix losting always on top mode. That makes me nervous too.This is probably foo_looks bug. For now that option with Foopilot is available only from foobar menu.

Thanks Hadda. This skin made my day. Finally foo_looks is no longer a theoretical concept This skin is simply great.

I have a few newbie questions:

• How does the hiding toggle (typo in the skin tooltip:toggle not toogle) work? When it is hidden how do you bring it back?
• What's the standard for the album covers? What should the filename/type/size be?

The requests I have is:

• The playlist open close animation be faster/snappier.
• A little button for playback mode: Shuffle/Repeat/Repeat 1 etc.
• The ability to reorder the files in the playlist if I click the on little space to the left of the track number. When I click there a little thing might appear to indicate the title is being moved in the playlist.
• Could we also rename/remove playlist inside the Playlist of the skin (not through foobar)?
• I don't know if this is possible but a "Play Next" would be great. Click on a title and choose "Play Next" and that title will start at the end of the current song. Could this be made through the skin or a change in fb2k is necessary?

What other changes are you planning?

Edit: I just realized that the http streams do not show up in the playlist for some reason.

@atici:

When you click right button, little light will off now and the hiding is now active. So when skin is not active is hide and to bring it back you must move on up side of pleace when the skin was. Best place for this skin is up of the pulpit becous of this and graphics too.
When skin is hide shows info for short time when track is changing

I do not know. Untill now I have not any covers . covers are automaticly scaling.
Just put in to the album folder - cover when you download it from web.

-(a) Playlist may be faster. I must make hiding function more flexible and then I'll write post how to tweak it.
-(b) will be .
-©,(d) I think that this is pilot not menager.... (I do not know how to do this for now heh maybe I do that in future)
-(e) I think is posiible. For now when i simply click on track from playlist and then hide(or not) playlist the next track will be right this track . If this is foobar property or some plugin ? I do not know.

I'm not precisely planing how that skin will finally look and work.
I think that:

- rolling up list of playlists from left side of playlist/album info

- "little button for playback mode: Shuffle/Repeat/Repeat" will be aded next weekend and the first point

- roling up control panel from right side of playlist/album info with some others buttons/menus/colours and font styles, but i implement this when saving in foo_looks will be avitable.
This is all for now.

Regards Hadda

:edit:
This is simply path for now to increse speed of scrolling 2x and speed of rolling up/down PL 3x
download 5 kB here
if someone wont to using it must add this path and then select Foopilot_fast.ski.
This path will be not develop with next versions I think.
(Maybe I add it to configuration later.)

:edit2: this link do not work from now

^^^^^

I must test it .
:edit2:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I updated right now my skin and this time configuration is access with editing
!foopilot_phone_tweak.cfg file.

for now avitable tweaking in this file are:
-master font style
-pl font style
-highlite PL font style
-PL speed
-scroll step
-toggle of r.time / e.time

just choice your code

Hi
a lot of user uses w98se or me

why don't let possible to run this great plug under windows98 and me?

maybe it would great another plug with no so nice feature but able to run under w98&me

foobar is a awesome player that doesn't need too many resourse so everybody can use foobar ...

yeah i knowe why it can run underw98&me ....but maybe a second skin plug with less features would be the best solution

danZ is too busy to rebuild the plugin without the alpha-transparency features right now

however, i could probably re-release version ~1.05 of foo_looks especially for win98 users

the skin design options were very limited though (must be rectangle, no playlist support, etc...)

but i still have a few 1.0 skins on my HD - and all the skins on www.foobarlooks.tk are still 1.0 only (that site hasn't updated in over 12 months)

let me know what you think...

tk32

I would love to see foobar player run with skins.....

a lot of users still use w98 or me ...

it think it would be great

Honestly, I can't understand why anyone would use Windows 98 today.

Are there any mirrors for the plugin?
I am in China, and I have not been able to download anything from www.loodi.com

I'd be happy to provide a mirror if you'd like. Just PM me.

can anyone else host a mirror of the foo_looks zip for me??

if so, then go ahead, and tag the url onto your next post

it'd really help so have a few more mirrors for the files

Mirror here.

*boink, random posting here*



You could have easily done it like this just to swap the right/left button actions, so right hides the look:

Foo_looks 2.1 mirror

thanks guys - that's great work

foo_looks 2.1
Mirror 1 | Mirror 2 | Mirror 3 | Mirror 4

Hi.
tk32: Could you send me e-mail with working version foo_looks for 98 ? I'll make mirror. People on Polish forum asking for it. Links on http://www.foobarlooks.tk/ do not work earlier than 1.06 .

This is my e-mail: hadziu@o2.pl
I'll be glad.

Hadda

ok Hadda

got to find the files first though (on a backup CDR)

staying away from home tonight - but i'll dig it up tomorrow and email it to you

Check if this works for you (it's version 1.08).

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=24348

@anza:
I can't test it too. I was thinking when I readed tk32 post if this is 1.05 the lastest version win98 compatibile.
@tk32: Thanks.

I don't see why people just don't move from the stone age and get rid of 98 :|

So you think that they do not wont ?

One good reason could be the fact that Windows is waaaaay overpriced (IMHO at least).

Hi

Hi again
Today beta_5 of Foopilot.
Lastest version of Foopilot beta_4 is available too - becouse this version (beta_5) is experimental.
-I made new scroll and it's working like scroll from winamp (stops on edges for moment and back) It's very first version of scroll. This very simply scroll is more CPU friendly.


Download Foopilot beta 5: here 101 kB





[If someone is interesting to implement this scroll in own skin - I can write more flexible scroll with example. ]

Hello,

I'm using Foopilot beta 5 and it is great except for one item.
The cover art displays one selection behind.

When I start, it is the correct cover of course.
Selection plays and selection 1 cover is still there.
Select 3 plays, selection 2 cover is displayed.

And so on.

Any ideas?

This is a fresh install of foobar 0.8.3 and components.

Thanks!

well that's a bug that appears or disappears depending on which plugins you have installed with foobar. it also appears on the navigator skin by upnorth
maybe if you add foo_playlistgen_ex.dll it could help or if you remove other components

Hmmm, already have foo_playlistgen_ex.dll added, I installed 'special' so have many components loaded. Got a favorite to delete?

Thanks for the assistance.

My dll list:
amip.dll
foo_albumlist.dll
foo_amipwrapper.dll
foo_ape.dll
foo_burninate.dll
foo_cdda.dll
foo_clienc.dll
foo_console.dll
foo_convolve.dll
foo_dbexplorer.dll
foo_dbsearch.dll
foo_diskwriter.dll
foo_dsp_extra.dll
foo_flac.dll
foo_id3v2.dll
foo_input_std.dll
foo_looks.dll
foo_out_dsound_ex.dll
foo_output_asio(dll).dll
foo_output_std.dll
foo_playlistgen_ex.dll
foo_qconfig.dll
foo_quicktag.dll
foo_read_http.dll
foo_rgscan.dll

foo_speex.dll
foo_text.dll
foo_ui_columns.dll
foo_ui_std.dll
foo_vis_manager.dll
foo_vis_vu_meter.dll
foo_wavpack.dll

When i had foobar 0.82 it worked and i had not the asio dll installed. after installing foobar 0.83 i had the bug, i installed the asio dll and bug was gone
it's weird...

I just updated code but I need raport if work or not now. In beta_4 i was thinking that I fixed this bug. But when I made new scroll it's back.
Pleace raport if this beta_5 work and beta_4 ??

Hello, no as I said, this is with beta 5. Beta 4 did not work, but I had made changes to foobar, so removed it completely and reinstalled with only defaults, then installed beta 5.

I think Hadda means you should download beta5 again

I'm still trying to find the way to walk round this bug. I think that some infos are not refreshing when onplaybacknewtrack and other handles are launched. So in Foopilot refreshing of this infos are delayed (1/15s or 1/2s). I check it and work for me. But mayby in other computers this delay is too short . So in last version of Foopilot I refreshing this infos (8 times) in 4 second . But I need some confirmation of efect. Dziuba confirm of working with 1/15s delay and other one person . But GHammer not (before update of my skin).

Regards Hadda

Hello,

I downloaded the skin (Beta 5) again and replaced the folders/files. Some did have different dates than the other Beta 5 I had installed.

Anyway, no change on the cover art. It is consistently 1 selection behind. All else is fine.

If it makes any difference, I have a mix of APE, APL, MPC, and MP3 files. The files are all in a tree of Artist/Album/ and in each album directory there is a folder.jpg for cover art.

Now I know why this bug is back in Foopilot. I'm now fixing it .I thing in one hour I'll update Foopilot .
@GHammer: Thanks for raporting

Actually this is happening. As soon as the selection changes, I get new track info and a new cover image. The track info is correct, the cover art is for the previous selection.

To the untrained, it looks like a counter is not setting when first loaded. Why?

Start foobar and the look is loaded.
Selection 1 has the correct track info and cover art displayed.
When selection 2 begins the track info is updated but the cover art stays the same (#1)
When selection 3 begins, the track info is updated and the cover art is changed to the cover for selection 2.
This continues for the rest of the selections.

So, to me, it looks like a counter is not incremented or more likely starts at zero but other logic assumes it started at 1. That would explain why it stays the same for selection 2 then changes each track afterward.

Lucky guess?
