it's bblean

That's pretty much it. As far as I remember I used Nakkis' fcs and modified it to suit my own needs.
I wouldn't normally use such contrasting colors but it looks nice with the whole theme.

That is mine, did all of it with just lots of reading, and learning script and code writing, and in the end it REALY paid off, I love it

The columns code is a modified hybrid of Habla and MechA. The Track Info code is modified from Free's code, and the track quality info code is modified from Russel777. And to anyone interested, the VS is Royal Vista - XtaC Compact. I love it

About the only thing I am having problem with right now, is how to get a particular file to show when there is no album art. I read the HA.org wiki, but I cant seem to get it right, mainly becuase I am not sure where to put the .png for it. Any help would be appreciated!

Here's my latest foo. Basically a mod of my Foobar Milk style



I like things clean and uncluttered.

Just choose whatether picture you like rename it to default.* and put it in foobar's "components" folder

Not too sure what you mean by puting it at defualt.* . are you meaning that I just leave what I have, defualt.png there and it will auto default? I ask this becuase windows wont allow a suffix of *. Just a little confused on this, thanks!

The easy way to do that is adding a second source called nocover.jpg (assuming this is the name of the image you want to show). Put the image in the cover's folder and it will be showed when the first source is not present.
Example:
Source 1 - "C:\Program files\foobar2000\covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg
Source 2 - "C:\Program files\foobar2000\covers\nocover.jpg

(PS: Is my english correct?)

Ahh, that works perfectly now, thank you very much! And yes, your english is perfect

My next question, is how do I set it up for radio streams? I have another pic that I would like to use for radio streams, but I have no clue where to start for that. At least I think so, I understand now how the heiarchy works for the source commands, but I am not sure if I need to do anything special for radio streams.


ARGH, what am I doing wrong? The no cover works great, but now it cycles it with the real cover art on albums that already has album art, I checked the skip no-cover images while cycling, but it still does it!

Here is my source info

I use this:

-$if($stricmp($left(%_path%,7),'http://'),'components\cover-radio.png')

started moving from 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 today, and most of what i'm doing is working out. however, whenever i rescan my media library, the playlist window doesn't refresh it, and i have to manually refresh it using the album list. and still not all of the new tracks show up. any ideas on why this is happening? it worked fine and automatically refreshed in 0.9.2.....

I have been lurking this topic for some time now. In fact I have been lurking this forum for quite some time now, and I love it

This is what I have been able to make of my foobar for the last few days, using most of all the posts in this topic. I always use the genres as a starting point in my collection, and now I can continue by selecting the artist, and then the preferred album.






I found a nice transparent picture for those folders without a album art picture in it. Should also work very nice with a black background.

I uploaded it here: (I hope it works)
http://www4.rapidupload.com/d.php?file=dl&filepath=19616

I renamed one of the the two pics default.png and put it in the components folder, and it seems to work.


Ooh, anyone heard about mouse gestures? I love that component, as a fast tool to summon the database search and file info.

All "no-cover" images must be prefixed with doubledashes.

Oh thats a good idea. I never thought of that. Just need to whip up a nice radio graphic and I'll be set ^^

And I would like to thank tool++ for the fcs-file, now Im more than happy <3

Thank you very much, I totally forgot about doing that. Fixed it in an instant!

Here's mine, its based off Habla's fcs.

Variations on a theme



:evil:

i love that. fcs? layout? track info code? color settings? everything else because that's almost exactly what i'm trying to make, and i'm not succeeding in any way, shape, form, or size

by the way, what's the component that gives the little search bar? that's a new invention since i went on vacation at the beginning of june

Here is my latest foobar2000 config.


The foobar2000 images on the right is from my compact layout foobar2000 config. The differences are from enlarging the window. The trackinfo 'sidebar', the seek controls and the playlist tabs are all mouse-over popups.
The two configurations on the left are from my 'large' layout.

The basic playlist formating is my modified Navigator script, the trackinfo codes are from other people, whom I can't remember at the moment... . Regardless thanks to everyone for there code and inspiration.

[Will try this thread before creating new one]

I noticed that all of the album detection code here uses TRACKNUMBER==1 to test whether the current track is the beginning of a new album.

Is there any other way to do this? In particular, is there any way to get info on a playlist item OTHER than the one currently being displayed/calculated?

What I want is the ability to do something like:
%title(playlist_number-1)%

I want to know whether the track above this one *in the current display* is part of the same album. For a lot of reasons many of my albums do not begin with tracknumber=1, especially for classical records. It also helps for the times when you are sorting and don't have ALBUM as a sort key... for whatever reason this comes up a lot for me. My default is of course album-sorted, but seems like I spend a lot of time in other views.

This would also be useful for a variety of automation tasks, but I'll leave that out for now. It seems like a fairly powerful concept, being able to query fields of tracks other than the current track.

+Reardon

Unfortunately (as has been explained a lot of times in a lot of threads), information can come only from one track and one track only.

The library doesn't read, predict, or try to predict whole albums. As that would require resources/memory intensive operations...

People lately use two tags, TOTALTRACKS to determine the total number of tracks in an album, It is set on all the tracks in a specific album - then you can know for which track is last, for example - thus you can know where each album ends and act how you want.

Testing for TOTALTRACKS and TRACKNUMBER==1 is basically the same thing. What I (and others as I've read around now) want is something that doesn't depend on track data alone but track data relative to the existing _view_. The view is what's most important.

I do not understand the assertion from Crissaegrim... this has nothing to do with what the library does or tries to predict. I simply want the ability to get metainfo from other tracks in the current playlist. I don't want the library to predict whether that is from the same album or not--I will do that. I would like to have popups that show what is coming next, what just played before, etc.

There are hack ways of doing this with a stateful plugin (something that merely watches for tagz callouts for metainfo and stores the last request). I'd rather just have a normalized way of doing this with TAGZ. I expect this is a non-trivial upgrade of the core.

+R

I believe it is. There is no support for retrieving data for anything but the currently playing player. Such changes will most likely require major API changes and break most plugins in the process.

In other words, I don't see it coming unless there's a real point to it besides making pretty ColumnsUI layouts.

hey i like your conifg, especially the bottom part

also love your wallpaper, can i have a link? and whats that visual style?

Very nice

Title Formatting - Status Bar (from tool++)



Track Info:

uRT, you know about $roman(n), don't you?

Very nice Urt! may I know the name of that font? I guess it's a common one but I can't find it

thanks

Hehe, if you mean the trackinfo it's not me who made it




Calibri Bold 8pt

And IIRC the statusbar is arial bold 7pt.

Christ, i forgot about that statusbar, that has been there right from my first ever setups, must have got imported and stowed away on my various configs O.o

Here is my first costom foobar:

My most recent

@Lance Uppercut
Whats the bar on right side closed to playlist?

((((( Strictly4me )))))

I know your question wasn't addressed to me but i know the answer:it's a progressbar

I want one.

Making a new foobar layout is always a good way to kill a couple hours.. thanks to everyone I stole an idea from

@Russell777

Thanks for info and the link!

((((( Strictly4me )))))

First post and thanks to some kind people here and elsewhere for sharing I've finally managed to get foobar a look I'm happy with. It only took be about 20 hours!

Sorry, but i can't find any way to do that! Maybe you can explain in few words? Would be nice.


I agree!

((((( Strictly4me )))))

best fb i've seen in a while. where'd you get the windows VS, is it self-modded?

Next try!

Hmm.. stylish.I like solid colors

+found some nice png for online broadcast mode:

uhm... are you sure it's that font?
this is how my calibri bold 8pt looks like:



not bad but I want YOUR font!

ps. thanks for uploading your fcs, tool++!

Np,

your font rendering is screwed somehow, either that or like you have a bad version of calibri :S

That is weird.



What the christ VS is that?

I did have a screwed version of calibri! (where the **** did I get that?)

now it looks so much better...
