Hi after break
@Hawk: We add tabs when we know how this skin will look but now im experiment.
@randomtw: You can drag every skin with alt button.
@namlet: click here and see Stalwart screen.

I updated last file so this is changes:
-some bugs fixed

-zoom tab is move to doubleclick on little picture on album info tab.

-I speed up PL scrollin and add it faster to wheel on bar. Double clicking an playlist bar go to playling and right button go to focused.

-I added few tooltips

-I added to the title key more functions. So now you can launch open and open cd with left click far far down mouse move, and random function with left click far far right mouse move. So if you changed "!ok_phone_tweak.cfg" you need to add to string rest of it. And i added to "!ok_phone_tweak.cfg" next in history and previous in history functions but not available in standart configuration of "!ok_phone_tweak.cfg" file.

regards Hadda

Hi Hadda.

Is http://kaczka2k.w.interia.pl/foopilot_one/...ilot_onePL1.zip the correct download link?

I tried but I'm unable to open with Winzip (error is: "does not appear to be a valid archive").

Alessandro

hmm this archive was broken huh i don't know why. Try again Link was correct

This archive create with 7zip. Last WinRar open it.

Looks like plain ZIP to me, it should work fine with most archive tools.

Strange things with fool_looks (it doesn't depend on skin used).
I'm a Delphi programmer. When I press key combinations that contain F9 to compile, run, etc. while working on my projects, foo_looks window (always at the screen's right-top corner) starts to cycle colors in it's progress area. After cycling, some regions remain colored.
Is it a feature?

Like that:

Changing colors:


Colored line after cycling:

Yes, it's a feature. 'F9' It's used to verify how a look is redrawn. Areas with e.g. scrolling text, will change color every 1/2 second or more likely every 1/15 second. It's also redrawn when you move your mouse over it. Hence the changing colors when you press and hold 'F9 while moving your mouse over a look.

Just as I thought Can it be disabled somehow?

@WhiteLion: I see that you use my& Dziuba skin. I can see in your screens that not refreshing area is steel have color. I use one time drowing sprite becouse tk32 said that render.erase take CPU. And as i can see when i change any border in skin sprite all sprites refreshing and take cpu (when title is scrolling or when progrss bar is changing in foopilot one is increse proporcional to window size).So i cant see a reason why i cant use render erase but this skin i build to save cpu as mouch as i can. So maybe i can show you way to refreshing this "shadow" area to fix this problem. Try change sprite: "znikajacy_podklad" into this:
but this will work only till you use first time playlist (if will work). So if this will work i can write you how to make this all the time.

exit button for your skin hadda? is there one to close the skin and another to close foobar?

@randomtw: In all skin what i wrote is only way to close foobar or hide (and back when you decided) but not close (in sunset skin is not posible to hide ).

It was some debug feature danZ put in that he was going to remove before he got busy.

Hey, just wondering, is DocUK still around?
When his carbon skin came out i used it alot, of course now i use foopilot one (which i must say is impressive), but i would like to see development in the carbon skin pick up again. Any chance of that docuk?

Ed

Hadda i have a suggestion for your great Foopilot Skin.
Can you make it focus the currently playling track in your skin playlist and in the foobar playlist when you double click in the status bar of Foopilot (on bottom) ?

I think that i back for moment to foopilot to impelment some functional from foopilot one, like switch cover art, mouse wheel on progress bar to play next/prev. I thing that mouse wheel to change playlist and to switch to album info it will be usefull too. and fast scroll on scroll bar.
Maybe i'll do what you ask
For now you can doubleclick on scrollbar to go to playing track and you can focused it fast. Tooltip said :
D: highlite| but it should be now plaing and selected from tooltip it should be focused. So right click go to focused and double go to now plaing.

thx, i had overlooked that the scrollbar has more to offer

Before finall version of foopilot one PL something in middle. Foopilot one and foopilot one graphit with extended stuff. This is beta1 version. All works fine. No tooltips for now and few functions .

WOW! New pilot rocks! It's beautyful! Blin! =] Rulez forever! Klass! Udachi, Hadda! Spasibo!

Wow!! What can I say? Excellent!! Great, fantastic

Some remarks:

* Could you please add the option "open directory" to the "Open menu?

* Another thing, in the graphite skin could you also make the background to the
"play >" section in graphite colour?

* In the "Info" section were it show the cover, the name of the song is most of the
time not the songs playing. It shows the name of the song that was selected the
last time the playlist was opened. Is that going to be changed?


Well done guys!!
This is going to be great!!

Thanks.
As you can see Dziuba changed his pseudonym to BeRo
@Hawk:
-So i was tolking with Berro about menu with open some functions from foobar but we need few proposition (so if somenone wont faster access to some functions from foobar just write proposition on this tread). But open menu is great idea so i think i do this menu.
-I do not know when colours will direct to two looks . For now this two have one grey menu.
-About info: i think that is natural go to focused. But Berro not too . So i do this what you wont on doubleclick on info button.

Hi Hadda.

Sorry but I have trouble again with your last download link (same problem as above): can you check your archive one more time, please?

Thx.

Alessandro

Maybe your conection is break sometimes. This server is Polish free so download menager can help. This archive is zip format created by 7-Zip archiver. Maybe you have old zip version i have no idea (anonyone have problem with this archive ?). I refreshed file.

No luck.

I tried Winzip 8.0 (error is: "does not appear to be a valid archive") and Winrar 3.20 (error is: "Unexpected end of archive").



Alessandro

I updated with normal winzip file. Try now

That worked, thank you very much!

Oh and, congrats for the great job.

Alessandro

[EDIT]
Would it be possible making the area around the play button a drag area? Or at least disable the play/pause functions in these spots...
[/EDIT]

You can drag skin with alt button with all area. Try edit "!ok_phone_tweak.cfg" file . You can simply distable play/pause with change this file.

*drools*
Love the new skin
And i didnt realise it before but u DID have "next in history" and "previous in history" already in ur ok!phone tweak
Thanks for adding them!

Ed

foopilot one gets better and better
Hadda: can you add 2 commands in the !ok_phone_tweak.cfg to jump to the next/previous album?
And in the info field (with album cover etc..), you have that function with double click to change between small and big cover view, maybe you can make the skin resize automaically to the coversize when you doubleclick.
Again, thx to you and your designer!

@dano: I'll try add your proposition to next version. Now i thinking about do scroll and progress from begin to save cpu using.

I have problem with foo_looks. I wont to implement to playlist selection by button and other useful thinks. But problem is becouse i can't dispaly information if track is selected. On designers guide is few function to order playlist:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1) fb2k_playlistSetFocusSel(index)","void
2) fb2k_playlistSetSel(index, select)","void
3) fb2k_playlistSetFocus(index)","void
4) fb2k_playlistGetFocus()","int
5) fb2k_getNowPlaying()","PLindex [-1 if none]
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1) using this function i can select one track (of index) and focuse them at the same time.
2) in this function i can select one or few tracks.
3) this function is for set focuse of track
4) and this is for get focus.

So one function i missed or i do not know about it . It would call:
fb2k_playlistIsSel(index)"," bool. Becouse i cant display all selected track on playlist , but i can select them.
So if this can't be displayed from foo_looks i wondering if i can dipslay it from some value of strings. In Syntax reference for title formatting for version 0.7 i do not see it but i think that this guide is not complite. Maybe some value of columnUI is help. So if someone know how to get some value if track is selected form foo_looks or string formatting pleace help.

New file avitable.
I add on rigt click and mouse wheel on tabs more functions. So follow tooltips on tabs

I paint playlist a little and this is unofficial file. If you wont to see it replace file:"Foopilot_one\One_pl.png" from "..Foopilot_one\change graph\graphit\One_pl.png"


I'm still waiting for answer my question. This is block me to make full working playlist. This is very basic information on playlist but i can get this . I need help.

Foopilot_one_ext_rc2.zip ( 230 kB)

Hadda that is AWESOME!!!! just trying out the garphite look and it's brilliant!!! your a foo_looks genious lol

The font could be just a bit bigger though, in the info on the right it's pretty small, readable but not very clear;) making it 1px bigger should work , i just love it! keep up the good work!

oh yeah... could you make the distance between the skin and the playlist smaller? it's quiete a big gap uhhh i love it!!

Hey HADDA!

Your look is greate.

I have one answer - red right bottom button has tooltips"L: stretch PL R: stretch to position".

What is "stretch to position"

pIv

Thank a lot

@bugmenot: I think too that this distance is too big. Album info is not ready yet So your proposition will be added i think. This will display icon of file from foobar icons and on click you will edit tagz or something like that.

@pIv: This is old tooltip. In foopilot onePL when you right click and move- playlist size will not update until you relese right button.
I remove this becouse i was working on playlist state (this is reason why you can see this red diode on playlist). This would be switcher to close playlist if look lose focuse (or not when diode is blue). But i only find next foo_looks bug heh. Maybe i back to this later.

I love the foopilot skin...but I have one minor issue.

Is it possible to make a bottom-docked version of it? I have an objectdock bar at the top of my screen, so if I put it there, it obstructs the view.

Thanks, if possible.

@LiLFLiP:
Heh. No simply way to do that. This need write skin from begining and harder to write. I think that i can glue skin to down border of screen but this need next streach button on skin. But i have so many thinks to do .
I think that this dock is more natural.
(Maybe i'll do that when the skin will finished. I can't writing and updating to many skins)

great work guys, loving foo_looks and the newly developed skin.

add. request: is it possible to have the foo_look taskbar instance display the same info as the foobar2000 one? right now it only says 'foo_look', which is not very informative when main foobar is minimized to systray.

@olivi3r:
hey, if u mean the tooltip when u mouseover the icon, u have to go into preferences and underneath default user interface click on title formatting. Select the system tray tab and insert tags (eg %album%) as necessary. Im not too sure what the original foobar2000 one says tho...

Ed

thanks ed, but i meant the caption of the foo_looks window.

is it possible to open a new thread for foo_looks skins?

it's quite hard to find general foo_looks info now in this 28-page thread.

Can someone point me to a working DL point for foo_looks? All of the links seem to be down.

Thanks - J

I agree, a new thread is needed. The download links are broken in the first couple posts and there is no sign of danZ ever returning, so ...

But even with a new thread, and despite the cool new skin by Hadda, foo_looks appears to be on its last legs ... sad, really.

I'd just vote for a mod to add the mirrors to the first post on the thread.

I agree with anza, as I think the new thread would get exactly the same contents as this one has had after danZ left.

I also, think Zulithe has a valid point, and it made me decided to post something I wrote nearly a month ago (with some updates and additions):

I agree, and that makes it harder to ask this, but do you know if danZ will continue to develop this plugin?

IMHO Hadda/Berro, is just what this project needs to attract attention from other skilled developers. But, as far as I can see, danZ hasn't posted on HA since May, was last active the 7th of July, and if he has abandoned this project, then the future isn't that bright after all.

This plugin works, but he had plans to develop it further (e.g. change playlist implementation), and IIRC he said it could be made into a real UI, but he wouldn't do that untill someone made a full featured skin (pushing the current limits). Now, as Hadda/Berro are starting to fulfill that recuirement, I think it's about time to look at what the future brings. And even decide if there is a future...

I have wanted to say this for some time, but didn't want to, because Hadda/Berro have been working so hard, and alot of people seems to like their work.

Another person that has done alot of important work for this plugin, is tk32, and he isn't around as much as he used to either.

Apart from the "missing people", I think the development of Columns UI has made foo_looks less needed. At least I feel that way. When someone makes an album art panel, I think I will delete foo_looks from my components folder. I no longer use it on a regular basis, only when I want to have a look at the album art.

Now, I don't want foo_looks to be another abandoned project, but a developer will be needed at some point. New versions of foobar and the SDK will eventually require that it is recompiled or even modified, even without adding any further features.

i'm still here

just realised that i was needed a lot less often lately

how can i install foopilot?

Where can I find foo_looks 2? The download link is "Error 404: File not found".

edit: mis-spellings.
