Ability to customize toolbar buttons. Nice!

But foo_fileops in this Beta still doesn't "see" a flash card if it's completely empty (fresh formated). If there is at least one file/folder on the card: no problem. If empty: preview says "Invalid/nonexistant target folder".

At last, can the endless requests for this feature end.

Yay great stuff added, best thing is custom buttons now I can make my Foobar match my Buuf icons

ive just tested button customization and only resource for an icon can be an "icon file format". is there any chance we will recieve png support for these? i know i can probably convert pngs into icos but it looks to me like not the easiest way to handle it

Its really easy with xnview - select all files, batch convert, save as ico. Done.
Thanks for new version, it has many great features, I especially like remembering dialogs and custom toolbar. Much nicer now.

Really like the cuztomise button feature
Already made my own buttons ^^

Feature wish: Play/Paused/Play or Pause -> alternative icon for a command like "Play or Pause" so it is a play icon when playback's paused and a pause button when playback is running.

Besides that, new customizable buttons are awesome!

Ability to just have text for button like the hover tooltip, e.g. "search" for a simple / clean interface rather than having to search icon packs would be nice.

Its more clean with a little 16x16 image than alot of text (My opinion)

There's also a free ICO plugin for Photoshop and Illustrator that supports transparency (IrfanView for example does not support the alpha channel*):

http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/ (released under GPL)

IMHO, it's essential to use alpha channel at this small dimensions unless you want very abstract buttons. Personally I don't mind that it's ICO only, although I think PNG support would be a good idea.

*=alpha channel in the icon format was introduced with Windows XP. Sadly when it comes to stuff like this IrfanView is very bad. Don't know about xnview, maybe I'll dump IrfanView soon, because things like this are pissing me off.

Here's a quick way to convert a png to an icon online:

For those people who happen to use the GNOME (v2.18) icons, here's a "random" icon I made:

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=61180

You can get the icon pack from here: http://saimei.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/teams/a...onTheme.tar.bz2 (not really suited for all the fb2k commands but it was the first icon collection I found that looked ok for my taste).

That would be nice, but I'd settle for a way to reuse the existing 'play' icon for 'Play or Pause'. I have some pre-0.9.5 icon collections to play with, but those are all PNGs.

Ditto!

Thanks for that very easy-to-use buttons customazitation!

Here some suggestions for further improvement:

1. There are several toogle commands like "stop after current", "playback foolows cursor", "read only" (foo_utils) and so on. The buttons could also provide the information about their state if they would act like the "layout editing mode"-button wich has another background when enabled.

2. The same for commands wich are not available (f.e. main->edit->undo if no changes was made to playlist so far): These buttons could be greyed out to symbolize that they are not available.

3. [context/now playing] and [context/playlist] commands like in hotkeys configuration

4. Opportunity to add menus of the command tree as button. Example: Choose "Quick Tag" in the tree, press add, change icon - the button opens the correspondending menu when being pressed in the toolbar

Where are custom buttons stored after we customize them (appdata profile directory, foobar program directory)? Where can I find nice round buttons from old foobar?

I have created some:

@alphaex32
Thanks for the link!

None of those places. They are hardcoded into foo_ui_std.dll. Get a resource hacker to extract them.

But the default icons will reappear anyway when you "add" the default toolbar commands... i.e. play, pause, etc. So if it's only that what you wanted, you don't need to be worried.



Looks nice!

Any way to change the "Playing" icon (in playlist) as well?

I was wondering the same.

Shouldn't the custom icons be stored within the FTH file?

Here is a bunch of buttons to replace the 'sort by' dropdown list. I am aware that they're really bad, but I've made them in the hope that someone better than me will be inspired to improve upon my work.

Unfortunately turning them all into ico files is too technical for me.

Really nice. Thanks


BTW: how to reset the buttons?

More from me (they are transparent, not gray):

Download

Just remove them and add them again.

Ooops, my bad! You are right, of course. I thought he meant the default buttons.

While it is possible to extract the default buttons with readily available tools out of the foo_ui_std.dll, it's not so easy to extract custom buttons from the FTH file. Maybe with a hex editor?

You can see this as a feature, or a lack of a feature... as a theme designer if you don't want that other people re-use your buttons, it is a feature. But if you want everything to be accessible or if you are the one who wants to re-use other people's custom buttons it is a lack of functionality to you. But apart from that, custom buttons can be made available seperately, so if you ask nicely you probably can get other people's buttons in case they didn't already do that.

Black buttons for people who like dirty:

Thank you. That works. And thank you for your wondefull buttons.

Wow, cool... Would you mind making a button for "Open..."?

awesome work! thanks for your efforts!

No problem! They are png, use http://www.convertico.com/ to convert them to icon. Blank and Open icons:

Big thanks

here's mine...

Those look nice _stranger_, thanks for sharing!

XnView supports alpha channel (tried from png and gif) and conversion can be done in batch mode

Here is my toolbar now:

To have it just google as i did, it just a mix of freely aviable sets.
I really like this feature

download

And how exactly should we install them icons?

Right click the buttons/Customize Buttons

OT: I used XnView many years back when Linux was my Desktop OS. On XP tho, IrfanView was always the image viewer of choice. Now I've just installed XnView for fun and... I think I'll stick with it, it has changed so much and it feels like it outperforms IrfanView, especially the format support seems to be more up-to-date. Oh, and the UI is more intuitive, too. Irfan needs to rework that one, IMHO.

edit: typo

Is that possible at all? Anyone?

I seem to remember a different thread where the developers stated that the "Now Playing" icon was a program resource, or hard-coded and could not be changed in its current incarnation. Not that you will be able to in the future either but right now it is not possible except by hacking the executable.

Hi
this ability to change the toolbar icons is really goof
Does someone make some tango icons and can share it please ? It is what I am looking for, now.

just download the tango icon set from the official site. The icons are in png. Use irfanview, xnview, or the link to a site provided in this thread to convert them to ico.

Nice icons fitting the foobar's own icon.

The dl doesn't work for me. Is it possible to make this url work again?

TIA,
a3aan.

Rather not use IrfanView for that, although it can read and write man formats, not all of them are fully supported, including Windows Icon files. You will loose the alpha channel and get ugly looking icons.

Or use http://www.convertico.com/ for the most simple way...

Here's one that fits my foobar.

This is not my work, I think it was originally called Xmm, I just split it to ico

Good stuff!

apologizing for being such a noob but I right clicked on the button and there was no function to customize? I dl the icons but a little lost.

Does anyone have a nice "play or Pause" button that matches the default buttons?

I right click on the buttons and I don't see a customize option. I'm using 0.9.5b5

You need to upgrade to 0.9.5.1:
