could anyone please show me how to make my foobar look like this?
http://img7.picsplace.to/img.php?file=img7/13/desk2.PNG

Here's my new Foobar with 0.9.1:

here it is the layout that is .. (tryed my crack at re-creating somebody eles layout )

You can find it here

Tks Masahiko but it does not seem to be the same as on the picture !

pretty basic. using Habla's trackinfo (modified)



i was wondering about the playlist setups most of you have, like the one posted above me. how do you split it by artist/album like that? i've tried fooling around with some css stuff to no success...

Couple of questions from somone who is fairly new to all this. Firstly, prior to my further experimentation [and install of new components] I had the Album List window as a panel in the sidebar. But now it has disappeared and I can't find anyway to re-add it > not in Layout or anywhere. It is still active and working [i can get the window] but I can't 'panelise' it.

Secondly, I love the FCS where you have album info amalgamated on the left, and tracks on the right [as in many SS's here]. My problem is that whilst I have a lot of albums, I also have a fair number of 1 or 2 track artists. Can someone tell me how I can keep the setup for albums, but alter the singles so that I can still tell who made it, what album etc. [ie on the one line].

Edit: I've got it to a degree, except I need some help with ifgreater in globals.

I have

I'm not sure how to add a condition that tracks for that album must be greater than 4. It has to do with $ifgreater(%tracknumber%,4,) , I think, but I'm not sure. Basically, if it can't find four tracks for that album, I want it to display the information on a single line, but I'm not sure how to define that.

Thirdly, I've figured out my layout problem [getting Trackinfo on the top], but I now need advice [or a guide] to getting it looking nice. Example trackinfo code + ss would also be nice.

Pheew... think that's it

@BaronLSN

you could add TOTALTRACKS tag for each album and use this

@ acedriver what config is that your showing above there?

im lovin it

But with incomplete albums, will that work? Is there any way for foobar to check the number of songs for that album name [or number of identical %album% entries] and do it from there?

Also - because I'm a newb - I'm not sure where to put this script for testing. The code I provided earlier was from Global, but I'm guessing this goes in the other section [columns]?

Thanks for your help

It would work.. but it won't display it properly.. have you try Navigator-Suite

Not sure if Navigator is what I need - you see my "Singles" are actually incomplete albums or one off tracks, none of which are defined in any way distinct to other tracks [ie totaltracks=1 or anything]. So, say I have track X from Album Y, and it's number 3, then I'll end up with the date and genre where I'd like Artist + Album etc. to be. But it's the only track off Album Y that I have, so if there was some way to say "This playlist only has k number of songs from Album Y, so all tracks need Artist + Album" that'd be the ultimate solution. It's frustrating.

And Brumal, would you share your most recent trackinfo? Amazing

modded brumal's old config. I also modded his multi-color-schemes config.

Don't have any problem for loading may fcs, maybe you haven't the same layout so its normal
My layout :

Minor update.

This is brilliant!

Amazing.

That's right

would be much better with other VS/font/background color combination

where do you put the code for the playlist to arrange it like you have been doing? like your's ace

Sweet! I just configed my fooby with multiple layouts, the first screenshot is my regular layout, then with a click of the minimal button (top right, 2nd screenshot) I get the layout in the 3rd screeny

@ shane 4 sure
cool stuff! what is the trick with that drop-shadow?

Pretty simple mate, this is what I've got:
Playlist view -> Display Tab, put the following:



Alignment: Centre

I love keeping it simple as you see


The trick is called Photoshop
But seriously, this is really simple as I just rearranged the original cover along with a transparent background to go along with the Visual Style I'm using.
I think a lot of my fellows fooby users here would like to have the possibility to use a background image instead of just plain "color" in the AlbumArt component. That would be terrific if one could combine AlbumArt with TrackInfo as far as I'm concerned.

how did you do that with this "minimal button" ?

Preferences/ColumnsUI/Layout

Create a new layout preset.

Then customize a button to:

Main Menu Item/View/Layout/the layout you created

(I named my Layout preset "Minimal", but you can call it whatever you want)





EDIT: to be more descriptive

ah thank you lextune

On the left:
--------------
Album Art panel
Rearranged standard controls
Multiple Track Info panels
Multiple Browser panels

On the right:
-------------
Tweaked azrael playlist

Waiting for tabbed panel extension for 0.9.1. so I can tab the album art with ProjectM vis and the playlist with a shoutcast browser.

Very cool lextune. I never realized the awesomeness of Foobar's ability to create multiple layouts.

same old layout, different config

Can u please share what font u a using? Thx!

Frutiger Linotype, you have to search for it.

I use the default standard theme....

all I use foobar for is playing music and transcoding
doesnt need to look good.

And what is yours track info panel config please?!

I second this

Great work, Brumal !

I think you've the same problem that I!!!

see my post:


I've created a topic about this: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=43937

KEWL!!!!
Care to share to entire thing??

New Edition...




Album list panel on autohide on the left!!

For those that have asked about downloading my foobar2000 directory, I've made it available here.



edit: The full directory rar has been removed.

@UObean
Please read the fb2k license agreement and remove the fb2k directory from your website, unless you have written permission from Peter.

Yikes, will do.

Here is my foobar (the image might take a bit to load... photobucket seems to be slow...)

The browser stuff on the right can be hiden using a nigh impossible to hit left border to click on.

Anyone know how to fix that "N" with the weird o-thing that shows up next to the place in the track info that tells how many times you've listened to it?

The No thing means 'numero' (aka 'number'). Go into the track info settings and replace it with whatever you want. :/

I ended up writing my own track info script. I know almost nothing about scripts, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

edit: does anyone know how to make a panel that will rate the track for you? Like, some sort of drop down menu with 1-5 on it and when you select one it automatically retags itself?

That would make this whole rating thing much easier.

How do I make it so that there is a small image that is clickable?

by the way, its changed now, but this was my foobar at my most favorite

whoops

BigRobb: When you upload to imageshack it gives you different codes to use. Copy the one that says a thumbnail for forums and simply paste that in. It automatically generates a thumbnail for you and the link to the larger image.


Here is my current config.

Anywho ...



And ya, stole the basic config from whoever posted it earlier, changed a few things and to who first created it, I give thanks once again!

Edit: Just changed the picture and got rid of something ugly (the stuff next to artist, album and year)

I use photobucket though, heh.

:\

BigRobb:
I created a second picture by uploading the same picture again and then using their resize feature to resize it to 25% of its original size. Then I used this code:

the first image there is the original and the second one with the image tags around it is the thumbnail

moderation: Added linebreaks in code block to preserve forum layout.

Well, just use imageshack for these images. You do not have to sign up and it does all the image resizing and coding for you. Can't ask for much more *shrug*.
