Just awesome

Big thanks for this! I really appreciate, I used this as a base and build mon own config on it. I just have one question though : when I start a song by double clicking it on the playlist, it displays the info on the top centered track-info, but when I move my cursor to another song of the playlist, the track info panel no longer displays the info, if I select again the track being played, the info is displayed again.

Is there a way to have the info always displayed, even when the focus is elsewhere?

nice stuff tool++

foo_ui_gfx (just ported to 0.9) using the WA Classic "dark materia" skin, modified a little and I corrected the windowshade play buttons positioning (off by 2 pixels).

Okay, here comes my new Mini Foobar It was a litte bit tricky to work with this damn Tabbed Panel Stack Mod but now it works fine.

I want to hear your opinion about it


greets Raven.am0k

Would it be possible to get your single_column_playlist code? (umm..that is what it is right?)

@ tool++ and Raven.am0k, I tip my hat to you. Like ChaosbladE, I too am losing track of all this, there's too much new stuff.

Group by:
%album%

awesome! mind sharing your fcs, trackinfo and single column playlist view please?

thank you.

I hope to implement that side thumbnail album art so I can get rid of my album browser panel. That single column playlist looks like it has a high aesthetic potential.

other than change my VS is there a way i can change the color of my status bar? or can i just take it of completely? that light grey annoys me a bit. thx

Looks simple. A column for...

Grey nullspace -> Arrow -> Number -> Title -> If track = 1, display codec, album, date info, else display time -> Another grey nullspace.

Colours...

Selected = black
Even playlist num = color1
Odd playlist num = color2

It's hidden (autohide option), like artist art and lyrics.

Do you like it now?

Thought you where talking about album art. =)

Here is my latest foobar:

My latest work:

Slight issue here is I'm not going to release anything before I get foobar to stop using 30% CPU.

It seems that having lots of trackinfos is what is doing it.

Could anyone help me get a similar configuration with trackinfo mod (and only one panel)?

@mazy = do you get CPU issues with your use of lots of trackinfos?

Thanks!

Maxim: That's damned good, and really original, good job!

Double click the trackinfo panel.

tool++

Thanks!

Your screenshot is also very good!

My foo du jour, a sort of iTunes-inspired thing.

Ok, cool, thanks.

Is there something I can add to my album art sources code to get foobar to look for the band art in the artist folder instead of the album folder (Eg. N:\audio\Reggae\Anthony B instead of N:\audio\Reggae\Anthony B\Anthony B - Black Star)? This would make it so I only need one copy of band.jpg per band, instead of one in each album folder.

If this is posted in the wrong place, please forgive my newbish ignorance.

edited : some typos

Just finished my new foobar config, but having problems with skin colours. Here's the white one which seems to work:



But the black one looks much better:



But I can't figure out a way to change the white bits to black. The biggest bits around the tabs make it look stupid. Does anyone know how to change those colours either in foobar or by editing the Windowblinds skin in Skinstudio?

@funkyskunky - I'm not sure how you'd do what you suggested because IM a bit of a dumb-dumb but I found it easier to have a separate folder of artists photos handy and then all I had to put into the sources list was

E:/Artists Photos/%artist%.*


And I find that works a lot better than cluttering up my music directory so much so that unless the foobar gods feel like letting me embed cover art some time soon there'll be a similar Album Art folder

That is the uh, shadows, highlights. Probs changeable somewhere in the skin if anywhere.

WB is trash though ;P

No it's not, it's great and it's the only way I know to skin foobar differently to the rest of windows.

I'll ask on a WB forum about the skin colours. foobar should have it's own colours, not just rely on the skin to change them for it.

Where can I find those buttons you're using?

A component that gives foobar a different visual style to windows would rock
And WB is bloated and horrible.

it's called StyleXP. doesnt use any resources, not bloated and has lots of choices for visual styles.
Logons,etc

right now im using iStormy's VXP visual style.

ill be posting my foobar soon...

StyleXP just lets you use third party visual styles right? You can patch a few bytes in uxtheme.dll to allow for third party VS's without the need to run third party software. http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707

Thanks to Russel777's LCD Display uie_trackinfo panel, I have redone my layout a bit.

I love the single column plugin!



Again, this stuff is mostly stolen from tool++, uRT and mazy.

EDIT: better screenshot.

Thanks very much, the band photos folder idea works great, and conveniently too.

Click for full-version.

Well, I completely re-vamped my set up, yet again. But for the first time, I really like it. A real home stereo look, thanks to Russel777.

a very clean and cut look. simple and efficent. I like. btw nice VS(same as mine)

Went with a minimal (for me) look still variations on the same theme tho
special thanks to terrestrial and russel for the track info mod and its config respectively

not exactly done , but i was once again converted back to the mini player. anyway i think theres a way to make it smaller and use more space. suggestions etc?

Amazing. Single-handedly convinced me to start working on a single-columns layout this week.

However, this design I've been fiddling around with for a while. There are a few kinks to work out, but I think it is good overall. Thanks to all the people here for inspiration and mashing-ups of their work.

Normal View:


Artists/Albums tabs, tree-explorer, and quicksearch are all on autohide - also using continuator (this the "loading next track" part).:


Also handles multi-disc and various artists tags, and title notes:


Still working on single/album sorting and a track-number bug. It won't read "3/10" style track numbers and sort them correctly. I have to use playlists for numbers above 10.

I still prefer old and good columnsUI (and even defaultUI) so here is new fcs:
I've made new layout, so it can display long titles along with track artists without clipping in minimal space.
I used color scheme from one of config (don't know which). Needs monospace font

And my favourite. Works with any font.

I've made version of this one for defaultUI.

Download it here
Any comments appreciated

No. StyleXp controls the overall visual style (and is redundant), I want my foobar style to be different to my windows one.

could you please post track_info configs? or maybe cfg file

Aww thanks. Your layout looks pretty nice, I'd suggest removing anything not 100% necessary and if you have to keep the spectrum, make sure the colour is the same as the rest of the theme's primary.

hi.. my first post here. loving foobar at the moment

my setup:




now i got a few questions

- when i open up the browse tab, the album art gets kinda scaled down, i'd like the browse panel just to overlay the album art without affecting it, is that possible? i eventually tried every possible combination of the four checkboxes in the properties

- i made a small script to switch between %title% and %artist% in the trackinfo panel, but i'd actually like it to fade in and out. that possible somehow? (im using the %time_elapsed_seconds%)

also, tool++ and snowsfall, what VS u guys using?

I couldn't get this to work, the layout dont accept two album arts at the same time.

Update to the latest album art component.

Hey guys; quick question for you:

How do you change the titlebar text from the "current foobar version" (i.e., "foobar2000 v0.9.3.1") to "fb2k", or anything else, when no track is being played?



Thanks!

~esa

hmm, thx, worked.

No, StyleXP cannot do per-application theming like WB can. I think you will find StyleXP is much more bloated than Windowblinds since it patches XP's own theming engine while in memory while Windowblinds uses its own engine which uses less resources than XP's.
