Hi,
I am using v0.9.4.5 and columns ui.
How do i configure 'track display' in columns ui?
Is this the same as the old foo_uie_trackinfo that worked with the previous version.
I just want to show track info for the currently playing track in a big font in a separate window. I had it all working with the old foobar.
please help?

"Is this the same as the old foo_uie_trackinfo"

what component dll exactly?

So I think there is something incorrect.
The devellopment was:
At first there was foo_uie_trackinfo
then came foo_uie_trackinfo_mod
which were later integrated as "track display" into foo_ui_panels

I remember that configuring of foo_uie_trackinfo was much easier then foo_uie_trackinfo_mod.

For configuration of track display please have a look at here:
Panel ui Command reference

If you have questions, then please post it here.
For more hints a screenshot of your old trackinfo would be useful.

i have foo_uie_trackinfo.dll

Thanks for the reply.
Well I'm almost there. I got something to show in the track info panel by pasting in my 'old' thing,
-----------------------------------------------
$if(%_time_total%,[%_time_remaining%]' / '[%_time_total%],[%_time_elapsed%]) $char(10)
$if(%_trackinfo_notrack%,No
track,[%composer%$char(10)]%artist% - %date%$char(10)%album%$char(10)%title%)
$char(10)
-----------------------------------------------
But I can't seem to change the font color from dull grey. I tried be just clicking on the 'color' button (I'm in columns ui-->track display-->configure) and changing it but it does not seem to change anything. The 'font' button did work though, but not color??
Also the elapsed time thing does not work anymore. It just shows total time/total time. I don't care much if i lose that because it's in the status bar on the bottom anyway. But i would like to be able to chane the color?
Also, this may be asking too much, but is there a way to move that track info panel to above the columns (where all my music is listed). thanks, i hope.

Hi Eyesnears,

For color change, you can either use hex code: $textcolor($hexcolor(FF0000)) or rgb with $textcolor(255,0,0).

Then, to move your track info panel, go into fb2k preferences (ctrl+p), columns ui, layout and right-click on Track Display and hit "move up".

Finally, your elapsed time :
%playback_time_seconds%, I think it works. If not try just %playback_time%.

Good luck with you're config
