I'm interested in the buttons he's using. And a vertical toolbar? Show me how! Or are those buttons just for show?

Try this page ---> http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/lofive...t44703-100.html Look for a post from Mazy It has an fcs & font in the file.

I believe that is Glitch.

looks like bbLean to me.

Foobar as sidebar with EXE-file for reserved deskspace
My example for a foobar-sidebar looks like so:



What means "EXE-file for reserved deskspace"?

Description:
Deskspace.exe reserve space on left side from your desk!
After you have start Deskspace.exe with doubleklick on it, you always will have free space on left side from all "maximized windows".
By that way you will have your player always on left side, close to your windows.

Attention:
A small part on top from free space doesn't take any mouseklick. (circa a quarter)
By my example: I can't make any klick on albumcover (album art), but all buttons among are working!
So, maybe you have to put your album art window more under, if you need all features by mouseklick on it.
That means also, i can foobar only close over systraysymbol or with a extra button in sidebar!

DOWNLOAD-Deskspace.exe if you want.

Enjoy and show me your sidebars!

I think i have also a screwed font also. Can you uplaod your 'good one'.

Reminder: We have an upload forum here that is a lot faster and has significantly less popups than the upload service you used here.

@foosion

Sorry, but i don't see any popup if i visit this link. I will try to remember next time!

((((( Strictly4me )))))

Any chance you could share those buttons, the foobar icon, and the candycane graphic on the right?

my foobar:
running it as a jukebox on a TV set.
the flowers behind the song name are actually a progress bar, growing as the song progresses

normal looks:


with the playlist open (auto hiding splitter):

You can find all those icons (about 330) here on Jyriks-deviantART and here the candycane graphic.

You can download different calibri fonts in a .rar here

Nothing special, its pretty simple but i like it

@metal_termite

Can you tell me please, wich font you are using for ratingstars?
I already tried it with "Arial Unicode MS", but in this size it looks unaesthetic. Thats why!
Thanks,

((((( Strictly4me )))))

I'm using DingDongs [with ClearType enabled for that font in foo_uie_trackinfo_mod to make it look smooth] downloaded from www.dafont.com. There's probably better dingbats for star fonts on that site if you browse.

My most recent:





The second one shows how it looks like when I'm listening to web streams.
Nothing too fancy but I like it that way

Sometimes, when I'm in mood for a more compact look I use this one:



Hope you like it...

That is damned awesome.

No. "DingDongs" is perfect for it! - THX.

Mmmmmmmm....

Mind sharing?

Here's mine, just Azrael config with a bit of modification and a new colour scheme:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Nico...oobar2000_1.png

Nothing fancy on the layout, for the most part foobar's minimized to the tray.

Of cause not.
The ColumnsUI-Layout is rather complex so for the sake of simplicity I uploaded the .fcs, buttons and (a cleaned version of) my foobar2000.cfg here.
If you want to, just install foobar in a directory different to your usual one and copy the files included in my upload to that new directory.
Further components and fonts needed to run foobar with my config are listed in the included "needed components.txt".

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to add a band/artist picture ?

CepiPerez had a cool config that showed both a picture of the current artist & a picture of the current album artwork.

I'd love to be able to do this but I can only seem to add one album art panel ! Am I missing something ?

Cheers,
Brian.

Hi Mazy,

Just wondering where you got your icons from for displaying in the album art panels ?
I am trying to do something similar (display different icons based on properties of a track).
Just having problems finding decent icons for things like file type. I would also like to find a Heart icon that would get displayed on tracks I have rated 5/5.

Cheers,
Brian.

Here's my new one. Ideas borrowed from alot of other configs, but hand coded so I learn what I'm doing



I want to get rid of that frame that goes around the cell when you select an item, is that possible?

What VS is that?

It's bbLean with a self-made color thingo.
Google it, it's sex in a shell.

Why are some tracks green? That's because they recieved a 5-'star' rating. This is done by a custom Global string and a few hacks in a number of Columns strings. I'll show you what I used for the Globals sring, but a faint warning: It's a hacky mess.


WARNING: BACK UP YOUR GLOBALC CONFIG BEFORE TURNING THIS ON!

No really, do so.

That's what I use. Like I said, a huge hack. There are also a few rip-offs from a certain person's Track Info config in there. I use buttons from Anas, and I added a Rating Up and Rating Down button, including mouseovers for it. The tabs are album Art, two Browser panels and a Playlist Tree panel.

Many thanks!



Hah, that could be a good slogon for it.

That's really cool, but how did you modify the tabs in the lower section? Maybe there's something I don't know going on, but I can't modify my foo_uie_tabs other than width and height. It would be cool to change colors, shape, etc.

If you have any tips, that would be great.

Thanks.

This is honestly all I need.

I love what you did, so i am beginning to do a vertical layout but while trying a question occurs to me. I have a vertical and an horizontal layout. The problem is that the layout doesnt remember the size and position of my foobar window. Is that normal or is there a way to save it in the layout?

The tab appearance can't be changed in foobar because it's defined by the visual style you use, so AFAIK the only way to modify tabs is to change your VS or edit your existing one with a style editor like StyleBuilder (which is IMO a real pain in the *** )



I'm dealing with the same problem here, so this is the normal behaviour, I think.

I've made a new skin that fit my VS. Clean and simple I think

Work in progress:



Gotta love pixel fonts!

Obviously this would look better with a different VS

This is what i have been looking for a long time. Compact yet fully functional vertical layout. Perfect. Only flaw is that i did not make by myself (considering the time i spent on it). I just have to do some minor changes to fit into my VS. Will post screenshot soon.
And, of course, THANK YOU for your all-in-one confing ... you are my new best friend

New one. Heavily based on acedrivers layout with lots of little additions here and there.



Here it is against my desktop.

I think his question is the same as mine. How do you get the tabs to change different panels? I can only get them to display different playlists.

click for bigger!!


im really not done yet cuz its still the same playlist settings that i had from before and i guess there is a bunch of things i could do to make it look cooler.


oh yeah and obviously a shout out goes to mazy for the cool ideas

@peercortsa

Looks cool! Mind sharing your *.fcs?
Thanks,

((((( Strictly4me )))))

That's an easy one. You need "foo_uie_tabs" for foobar 0.9x (get it here).
Unzip, move the DLL into your f2k components folder, (re)start foobar and after that, add a tabbed panel stack to your layout like any other panel (Columns UI Layout > Right Click > Insert panel > Layout > Tabbed panel stack).
Now, you can fill that stack with every panel you want by right-clicking on it.


You're welcome! Someone should have told me before that it's SO easy to become a best friend.

er ok, heresMy lastest foobar, im still messing with it, the left panel is still not as id like.
I used bits of code from many things, i wish i remembered to write down all the things.
i do need to find a good code for the now playing thing, insted of the arrow i have now, i think i want it to flash i just need to read a bit more

heres the fcs for the playlist:
modded azrael
its just a modified azrael and a lot of stuff was changed so i could actually figure out what each thing does to get it to my liking

alright here is the newest version of my config. just finished modding my playlist to my new color scheme. still gonna probably end up changing the bottom track info panels to other things but thats for another day when im not so tired.

click for bigger:

Very nice. I was just wondering if you could tell me how you did the Trackinfo at the bottom ?
Is that a load of TrackInfos or just one trackinfo ?

If it is a few TrackInfo panels then how come the panels don't seem to be seperated by a bar ? When I try to have a few panels side by side I can't get a 'smooth' look. You can see where each panel ends and starts. As in If the panel backgroudns are all black you can see the grey border even though I've it set to 'None' from a default of 'Sunken'.

Your help would be much appreciated

Cheer,s
Brian.

That looks like several trackinfo panels put tothether. I use a similar approach in my own layout. I distinctly see the "lines" between the sections but it appears that he has set his trackinfo background color to match his windows color for 3d objects on some of his panels, therefore the lines are not as pronounced.

See the lines between "sanctus" and "dark"? "funeral" and "godhate"? They also appear horizontally.

It might be a good idea to start using hte track_info mod that's floating around here. You can then set the FOOBAR2000 part as standard, and throw the rest on as soon as a track is playing. It allows for different fonts, and backgrounds could be configured in some way, afaik.

Can you tell me what VS this is please?

It's called b0seclass. Couldn't find any ftps so I uploaded it on rapidshare:
