I use Quiark buttons and alpaha transparency

I put together a pretty minimal skin using Quiark's animation and some of his code as a starting point. The control buttons are transparent. They're laid out below the album art (left to right: previous, play, pause, stop, next). Admittedly, the code for the progress bar could be cleaner, but it works...

great component, thanks!

Here's a quick skin I made. It's supposed to be a sort of Fallout-style display bar. Hope you like it.

There's a darker version in there too, but you'll have to enable that from the skin.xml, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

This is a skin created by Raven:

This looks great! Can you help me how to make it scroll, not enlarge to maximum size?

black.

the two buttons on top are Minimize foobar and Exit foobar (left and right respectively)
The foobar logo is Activate foobar. EVery other is self-explanatory



EDIT2: i removed this one...you can only get the version posted below...

EDIT: heh...i fixed a small problem (literally ) with the two buttons on top...seems if you click in the middle, you'll end up clicking both. Not fun amirite? Its been fixed and i have added another button for Preferences. So now the layout is, Exit, Minimize, Preferences (top to bottom respectively), and the foobar logo has the same function as before

Any fans of my foo_toast skin may enjoy this quick mash up of it and my buttons for foo_title.
Enjoy

I made this for my own personal use and decided to share it.
Each text area is scrollable, so if you have really super long artists, track titles or albums, they'll never flow out of the window.
Each bit of info is also degradable, meaning if the track is missing any tags, it will default back to Unknown [tag]. ie. If %artist% is missing, it will default to Unknown Artist.
Props to Kaliber1000 for their awesome background tiles, one of which I used for this skin.

Enjoy

foostick...

another one i did last night...i remember seeing a winamp skin like this in winshade mode...
no funni buttons this time, just simple playback, minimize, maximize and close.

PS: hope you have Dungeon font

A little transparent, small skin with buttons called thin:

Hello,
I just discovered this great plugin. It is something I've been really missing in fb2k since I upgraded to 0.9 and lost Foopilot One. I really like foostick skin. Simple and effective. I have all the time, I just have some minor issues. The stop button is in fact a pause button. I didn't like the transparent title/info fields, so I changed it. The only think that bothers me is that it is higher then my titlebars and it covers upper parts of menu in maximixed windows. I'll try to downscale it.....

And now one feature request: would it be possible to add a volume slider? Or at least a volume indicator and +/- buttons. Or if you tell me how to do it, I could try it myself.

Thank you.

"Raven hereby releases not one, not two, but three new skins. There's a new version of Mini, which has scrolling enabled and features a simple 'stop' message. If someone wants more work to be done on it, please ask so.

Also included are two versions of Listen or Die. They are based off a popular anime-show, but this reference is only seen with the 'no-album-art' image in the full version. They are using a LOT of special functions that few people seem to ahve used as of yet. Tey are way more advanced than Mini/MiniScroll.

Thank you very much!"

The possibilities of creation with foo_title are amazing.
Here's my attempt to *replace* the foo_minview.dll (fb2k 0.8.3) (I used Raven's Mini as a basis):

I'm honored. Yeah, I made them, I finaly managed to get a forum account. If I may ask: what do the up/down arrows do? Change the display?

Yes: activate / hide foobar main window.

I think the link is broken.

Works for me o_O

Edit: use Right-click -> save

Edit 2: a new one, with more buttons and informations:



http://membres.lycos.fr/norbert/divers/miniview_os.rar

Edit 3: update -> now, when stopped, displays some text.
If you prefer a semi-transparent background, change background.jpg to bg.png

weird, in opera right clicking and going save doesn't work, but in ie it does. huh. anyway, great skin, i love it!

Hi,
I created my first skin for foo_title:



You can download it here (7-zip compression). It is quite similar to foostick. It is slightly smaller (18px high) to fit my windows titlebar.

Unfortunately I don't know hot take a screenshot of it. I tried XnView and FastStone, but both programs refuse to capture it.

If you know how to produce a screenshot, please let me know.


If you want to modify any part of my skin and release it, please feel free to do it. It is completely my own work, except of a part of the XML which formates bitrate displaying. I took it and modified from my Columns UI .FCS. Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the original code from.

Edit: Is the size of my image acceptable or should I better crop/resize it?

Press the PrintScreen key to copy the screen to clipboard and then Ctrl-V to paste in your graphics editor

The simplest solution is the best one

Btw. Do you have any idea why the last letter is cropped? It sometimes is and sometimes isn't.

Verify the size of your text layer ?
I can't check it directly: the download does not work for me (_very_ slow and then stopped)

When using Windows XP's silver theme this skin fits on the titlebar of the active window:

It's my first, made it last night. I kinda like it. I'd like to add resize button to it but don't know right command and I can't get the button to the right side (aling right) of the skin but on the left side it works.

EDIT: Found the command in two minutes... Not resize but activate
EDIT2: And the button works now. I don't know what i did different

No this shouldn't be the problem. The text layer is long enough.

I§ll try to upload the skin here. I have no idea why the download doesn't work for you.

Upload worked fine. In tagged a file the same way as your preview shows and... it acts the same! Changing the font name / size fixes it. Weird. A bug ?

Here is my first skin which i mashed up in an hour. Its a simplistic black vista style skin which fits nicely in a windows xp titlebar but on request i will make a thinner version. Hope you like it!

Minimalistic Aqua Look skin, 4 different colors.

There's no border at the top as it was designed to be placed at the top of the screen, filling the room the title bar would usually take.

I recommend using it with about 10% transparency

My first serious effort at creating a title skin to match my current Foobar configuration. It took at least a week on a tight schedule to create the layout and get everything arranged properly. I am still not satisfied with the text layout, however.

NewStyle Expanded

Very nice. A few pixels thinner and it would work perfectly for me (Windows Classic)

introducing... Vista Carbon Slim


Enjoy!

Heres another one. I call it... GlassArt!



have fun!

here's a very simple CD case skin



njoy

Killer. Thanks man.

I really like this one! great work, thank you!

It's great, I want to ask if it isnt possible to make version with no diagonal lines, it would be great to have this with claner look

Hello,

I wanted a replacement for tbar (v0.8x, a component that displays song information on the front window title bar) and I found foo_title could do better (replacing tbar AND miniview).
I took EpS foostick version and remove everything except a few buttons with transparent background. And there it lies discretely on top of my screen !

Enjoy foobar2000 !

i took the liberty of making a few additions to malde's cd-case (hope you don't mind )
(font included)

I'm sorry, is it supposed to display the cover of the album it plays? If so, how? I only get the no-cover image.

in preferences of the foo_title component you have to set up the directory where your album art images are stored.

nope, great job there!

I noticed on one of my longer songs (> 10min) that the time ticker wrapped and looked really weird. I bumped the width of that text layer (name="time") up 10 px and adjusted the trackinfo layer accordingly. Not sure if anyone else noticed that.

In the spirit of skins that look like boring standard UIs, I have created a skin that fits right in with Windows. I basically took a screen cap of a Visual Studio 2005 toolbar and foo_title-ified it. Hence the name, foolbar. Here's what it looks like:

foolbar_1.0:


foolbar_1.1:


foolbar_1.2:


and the skin itself is attached. Scotty J, I borrowed heavily from Vista Carbon. Since this is my first skin, I wanted to base it on something that looked great to start with. Also, the cropped foobar logo is just like in Vista Carbon, but I'd like to make that a non-cropped image when I get the time. Buttons were gently and tenderly ripped from foo_ui_columns.dll.

(Edit: And I'm now using Tahoma as Verdana rendered with last chars chopped, odd)
(Edit [2006.10.09]: v1.1 - Fixed foobar button, added Search button)
(Edit [2007.03.30]: v1.2 - Added more text using two lines, text displayed is based on playback state.)

How do I disable "always on top"? I'm using nait's skin and I've got the whole cover and stuff over my browser, what is very annoying

It's not actually an option, so you can't disable it. However, this feature has already been requested... by you...
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=429842

No reply in that thread, I know, but I think Quiark has added a menu command to enable/disable foo_title, which might do what you want. Don't think that's released yet, but if you set foo_title to not be always on top, how would you get back to it? There's no alt-tab entry or taskbar button for it.

how about closing the window on top of it?

there should really be a "pin to desktop" feature

Sure, if you just open one window on top of it... maybe most people don't have much open, but I have tons of windows on two screens open... it would get lost for me.

Pin to desktop, would that behave like the Windows taskbar when you check "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows"? It basically reserves part of the desktop for the taskbar, so when other windows are maximized, that isn't usable space. That would be pretty cool.

"pin to desktop" as in nail it to the desktop the opposite of "always on top"

Hi everyone. First Post


I've been playing around with foobar for a while,but I had not registered..
I just found this component, I love it! So, I did this for myself, and thought I'd share it.

The two "foobar icons" on the left are for activating and shutting off foobar.




Cheers
