Here's my latest foo, using the new foo_uie_trackinfo_mod.dll with it's sexy shadowed and overlapping text.

Things worth noting:

- Buttons for launching this forum, shoutcast, or minilyrics.
- Auto-hiding seekbar
- Trackinfo auto-switches between 3 font layouts to accomodate different length song titles
- Most panels have an alternate layout for online radio stations

Thx, yours looks nice, too.

Sry for dubblepost, but HOW did you link a button to this Forum???

Do anybody know how to enable foobar with the CD playlist tab?Mean that i want to differentiate the playlist switcher and the cd playlist.
What component do i need?

Here's mine (thx to blackwhitered)..just 2 days with foobar ..

First I created a runservice with foo_run and used http://forums.foobar2000.org/ as the source. Then I customized a button from the standard buttons toolbar and linked it to that runservice.

Thanks

good idea! i should put one in my foobar too.

Here is my new appearance, it's nothing special but quite functional IMO.


It's originally based on Klyith's design, but I've rewritten it completely and applied some extra stuff in it. Notice the different color schemes for the album types (normal, single, live & video).

HERE is the fcs.

Here's a little something I worked up. I'm kinda new at this, but am proud of the results.

This is what 'm using.
Based on Mazy's.
Im just teaching myself the basics of the code n input available so im taking it slow.

Anyone help with converting the panel next to Samplerate (rating) into an album art panel. Need some source code.
i.e.
$if rating = 1,2,3,4,5 , 1,2,3,4,5_star.*
$if unrated , unrated.*

Also, Album art and lyrics in the top left are on left toggle. Does the job. N looks good while doing it



edit: In-case anyone asks, yes i do have kinda a big playlist. About 2 weeks long. Close to 5k files (old HD crashed, and slower modem nowadays)

Davison, nice to see such variation on my layout! as for that rating album art stuff, i simply have this in my sources: data\misc images\rate%rating%.png. i have rate0.png ... rate5.png images for this. so i guess the only "hard" part is to get / make such images

Thankyou for the reply.
I am relatively new to this...only started using it upwards of a week or two ago.

Thats a rather ingenious solve, if i may say
nice work.

I'm also wondering how i can modify mine, i believe it looks rather ugly with the excess of space under the trackinfo boxes.


p.s. I run my foo fullscreen @ 1280 x 1024, lots of excess space as i dont want my graphics /album art overly sized.

I'm working on it, but im quite a newbie so if somebody would be nice and give me some help I would be grateful. Send an PM if you are prepared to help me

Quite severly updated.
Should see the layout for this...looks nasty



and this was my setup.

i can believe that! sometimes i wonder how it is possible that columns_ui can handle all this ... and it's obvious you understand layouts thoroughly, good!

Ok. That's my new foobar appearance.



My playlist is under the lyrics panel (I use the autohide option).
Hope you like it.

nice! very clean.. excellent idea :

I like that a lot

Very innovative, but it looks like it's used for karaoke

Here is my latest setup, it's pretty much a combination of a few things i saw here, and then i added some stuff to suit my needs.

That's the best foobar I've seen so far.

Here's mine:

How do u get the Foobar2000 Logo on the top left? Im guessing Album Art?

I recently finished the switch from 0.8 to 0.9. Let’s post some screenshots.

I use two completely differently configured versions of foobar2000. One is exclusively for playback and some minor editing, mainly correcting spelling mistakes and similar stuff. The other one is for ripping, converting and heavy tag editing.

Here’s the “pretty” playback config.



Usually album/hybrid mode is active (the one you can see in the screenshot). Playlists ending with a space trigger the simpler single view design mode.

The most significant improvement over the similar 0.8 layout is the “Usual listening” playlist. It’s generated dynamically by Playlist Tree (the “Library” tab) including the playlist’s name and using the “space trigger”. That’s a lot better than the three playlists (and two additional Album List panels) I needed with 0.8.

Now I’m waiting for a panel history plugin. And I still like the old foo_playlistfind better than Quick Search. But that’s really two minor issues.


And this is my “working foobar”.



The trackinfo panel on top always shows tech info about the currently selected song. Almost all columns make use of Columns UI’s inline editing feature. The “artist” and “album” columns display the filename if the respective tag is missing. The “Tags” column shows a file’s tag type (1 for ID3v1, 2 for ID3v2, A for Ape); the “RG” column does the same for track/album replaygain. I have to admit the whole things looks ugly, but it makes those heavy tagging/renaming/moving sessions so much easier.

Brother John

It looks great! Do you want to post the config?
I like the way the panels are divided!

Yeah, what Andrea said. I like the symmetry. It looks very clean. I'd like to know how you spaced the panels like that. Best looking configuration I've seen in a long time.

You can use track info, album art, button...in order to make null space.

edge style:none
background:your system color
or bitmap (for button)

awesome stuff, CepiPerez. Gave me a good idea for my own scheme (Finally!), Thanks ^^

Here's my current. Looking for a nice trackinfo string for the lower part (as seen in the picture, preferably with a progress bar). A new status bar wouldn't hurt either i guess.

what font is that in your status bar?

Should be Calibari, Like most of this layout.

Hehe YAY! I'm a new member here, FINALLY!

Hope I will enjoy my stay, here is my fb2k-player, copied Nakkis layout, some of!
I cant use my computer for the moment, so I cant share my fcs-file etc

Hi there!
I just got started with foobar2000 and there was (and still is) a whole lot to learn here, so thank you for that
This is my current (and first) foobar2000, i'd welcome comments



Just in case you wondered...this is inspired (sometimes copied ) by stuff that i saw here.
Greetings

well, here is my foobar. it is not finished yet. does anyone know about some good buttons for this?

Hi uRT, welcome to the foobar2000maniacs forum

Hope you will get fulfillment from foobar2000.

Just a friendly tip: Next time, if your posted image is large (esp in term of its dimensions), please use free image hosting service, e.g. www.imageshack.us.

Cheers!

Nice going, Reitermaniac, Especially for a first try.
I'd like to have that trackinfo string please (the more detailed one).
Also, what is the font used in the other trackinfo panel?
Thanks.

EDIT: almost forgot, Nice going there with ill Nino, Not bad at all

Thanks ChaosBladE
I'm gonna send you the detailed trackinfo code via PM because its quite long and doesn't belong here.
The font of the other trackinfo is called "Kristen ITC bold" (8pt). I think it comes along with foobar, because i've never heard of it before
And yeah, Ill Nino is a great band And their new album is really good imho
Greetings

EDIT: Uhm..dunno whether sending the PM worked. Just tell me and i'll send you again.

Yeah, It worked, Thanks.

Snapshot of my current regular installation featuring certain amounts of unreleased stuff. The idea for the folder art (yes, it can only display folder.jpg right now) thing and the background image is from CepiPerez, though the cover image and the other text is not part of the background in my version. The Outlook bar rip-off below is a test case for the same component that powers the folder art display. The playlist view is something completely different.

Wicked!

What's the name of that visual syle?

foosion, when we will get to play with this, please? is that component something like html/template viewer? and what is that playlist view, i guess it's not some experimental version of columns ui, is it?

Interesting stuff foosion ^^

Ok. For the people who want my config



Here is it:


The highlighted album art is the only one with the sources.
The rest are for the space between the panels.

It is indeed an information display panel that uses HTML and CSS. I'm using the HTML engine from Terra Informatica, so if you want to see what it can do, download the HTMLayout SDK and use browse.exe from the bin directory to look at the included HTML samples (this will be the recommended procedure for all prospective design authors for this component). Dynamic content can be generated using the JavaScript-like TIScript (also from Terra Informatica) in hypertext preprocessor mode, or by updating the text content of individual HTML elements. The latter avoids reloading background images and such, so it is recommended to use it when possible. It is less powerful than DOM manipulation using a scripting language like JavaScript, but it is also much easier to use.

Some of you might get a chance to play with it rather soon, as I want to do an alpha test with a limited number of participants. I still need to get rid of some quirks and put together some preliminary documentation. While using an existing design is as easy as inserting a new instance of the HTML viewer panel and pointing it to the file it should display, creating a design can be quite tricky. I'll hold a small contest (in a separate thread) once that is done to select a few people who already have HTML and CSS skills and have no problems reading and understanding the documentation about the extensions that the HTMLayout component provides. This is because I do not want to tutor people on HTML and CSS, especially not during the alpha test. So if you are interested, you can already get the HTMLayout SDK and design a static page to show off your skills.

No, that's a normal version of Columns UI but with a custom playlist view which is based on the standard Windows list view control. It will probably not be released for quite some time, because currently I lack the motivation to add configuration dialogs and there some quirks I don't mind but which I wouldn't want to have in a public release. It's mainly a technology playground right now.

i would like to apply, foosion. this htmlayout component looks promising, i like the fact that it's windowless ...

hook me up foosion my only skills are html and css related so let have a go you know you want to

@alphaex32:
Here you go: ClearLooks Visual Style

@foosion:
That component looks great, and html sounds great, hope you'll release it sometimes
