This is great. Exactly what I've been looking for. Simple and effective. But I have few problems I'm trying to work out...

1. I can't select the rating or spectrum options at the very beginning. What components do I need to have installed to be able to select these?
2. For some reason the shuffle button isn't working. The songs play in their normal order, but the button is stuck on shuffle, and I can't use the shuffle feature.
3. Is there a way to widen the panel on the left side? I want to be able to see the full album/track titles.

I'm on 1.2 beta1.

Edit: the shuffle/default button is back to normal now. I re-installed everything. It may mess up again, though.

1) See the readme file included in the archive (foo_custominfo for rating, foo_uie_vis_channel_spectrum for spectrum).
2) Set the playback order to Default (MENU -> Playback -> Order -> Default) and try clicking the button again, other then that I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. Might wanna try clearing pvars just to be sure.
3) Yep, rightclick the fb2k titlebar, open the settings window and you'll find plenty of pvars to edit (or rearrange/customize the whole layout), see the readme for more information on how the layout is set up.

I can't believe it. Somehow I missed the readme file.

Thanks for the quick response. And thanks for making this layout. I love it.

playback follows cursor/ cursor follows playback doesn't let me double click a song/album/artist and immediately play it. is this possible at all?

Hi, I'm using this config and have a couple questions.

First off I want to say to the creator: this is the best foobar config I've ever seen by far; it's almost flawless in my opinion. Now, onto the questions...here is a screenshot of my config:



My first question is, in the info panel what do I have to do to get the panel to show more information (bitrate, file type, etc as shown in example)? In the welcome screen I checked off all of the available "info" boxes.

The second question is, album art...how do I get it to show in the side panel? I missed this option. And for a really naive question, would it be possible to set the track info panel to upon clicking it it switches to the album art?

Thank you in advance for any responses

Thanks, glad you like it!


You are using the beta I assume? If that's the case you'll have to open up the settings window (rightclick titlebar -> settings), find $setpvar(col1TopH,140) and change inceare the value so that all the information text fits.


As with above, I'll assume you're using the beta: Same window, find and uncomment the lines (remove the //)
//$setpvar(col1Upr,Album Art)
//$setpvar(col1UprPanel,Album Art)
//$setpvar(col1UprH,160)


It is most likely possible, but will require some minor editing of the code. Start with adding a button which sets a custom pvar to 1 or 0 depending on its previous value and then check against it's value to determine which panel to display, something along with this:
$setpvar(col1Top,$ifequal($getpvar(topPanelToggle),1,Track Info,Album Art))
$setpvar(col1Top,$ifequal($getpvar(topPanelToggle),1,Track Display,Album Art))
$setpvar(col1TopH,160)

vigge thank you for the reply, it helped me greatly.
