Try restarting fb2k. If that won't work, make sure your playlist tree component is properly installed and replace the sidebar code with this (moved the pvar setting down to where it's actually read to make sure no funny business is going on):

For me first string works like charm. Now I have to fight with playlist tree.. grrrR

Thanks, this worked well.

I encounter another problem. The albumArt in sidepanel ist working properly, but its not shown in the playlist view

Check the Preferences -> Panels UI -> User Globals settings and make sure the $puts(coverPath,...) and $puts(artistPath,...) variables are pointing to the correct image paths.

EDIT: Whoah I didn't even notice there was a page three, was replying to an issue on page two! Ignore this post!

Ever since adding the $setpvar(sidebarPanel,Playlist Tree Panel) line, the whole playlist section of my sidebar has been blank. I tried the above suggestions. Help!

Oh man this has been an ordeal. I think I've got it working now.

Interesting point here: In my Panels UI Preferences the User Globals are still from FoomaroK! How do I change these User Globals to the default?

Again, thanks alot, it's working now!

Not sure what the default values are, I'm using

@ vige

Thanks, its working now.

Thats how my foobar looks now I'm almost entirely happy with that, it looks great and browsing through is intuitive. Maybe when my tree will grow up or add new component I would like to have 2 sidebars...

thx vigge for this skin and support!

I'm planning on adding support for a third column, it's gonna take alot of work though so it might take some time.

Sounds very good, it would be nice to have an additional Folder Tree.

simple and amazing config!...theres anyone who can help me to get the playlist swithcher?(between the album art and the filter list)

Check this post for instructions on how to add panels to the sidebar (lyrics in the example, but can be used for most other panels if you replace some stuff).

I'm trying to replace the Filter/Playlist Switcher area of the sidebar with the Album List Panel without much luck. On a sidenote, the "RESCAN" button no longer sends all of the new songs to the "My Music" playlist, I have to send it manually with the Album List. Any fix for this?

I've never tested Album List Panel but the same instructions I gave for the Playlist Tree Panel exchange should apply.

Regarding RESCAN, it only rescans the library, doesn't update the playlist as far as I know (neither does for me, I have to hit RESCAN, rightclick the Library Filter, hit Reset, and reselect the filter I wish to use for the playlist to update). I'm not sure if it's possible in any other way.

When I first started using mogelbrod, my playlist was updated by itself when i rescanned... must have been a fluke! But I'm not sure how to reference Album List Panel instaed of Playlist Tree Panel. Would the following be correct?

It's not working for me, but at this point I'm basically shooting in the dark.

So, a really silly question from me. I want to use your general theme colours (SC playlist, Filter, etc) in Columns UI, but when I copy-paste the info from your panels in Panel UI to the ones I have in Columns, text and backgrounds are black, except for the artist text and the amount of songs text, which are grey. The Filter window is completely black.

I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with your code, or with the fact that I'm using Columns. But I ask: Is it possible for you to make a version of your panels that work in Columns?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, it would be way to much work to work on two versions simultaneously. The standard color settings for the layout can be found when rightclicking the titlebar, chosing Settings and then clicking Globals. To be able to even access panels ui globals you will have to set them in the user globals window if you're using Columns UI as the base window component as far as I know.

Oscini: I'll get back to you, I'll have to test it myself before I'll be able to give you any solution.

I understand. I'll try making my own, then, thanks.

So, how's it going?

I've noticed that my fb2k tray icon mouseover information doesn't stay current (artist and current track) while the player is minimized to the tray. Is this a PanelsUI issue? Can this be fixed?

I've been busy with other things, so the work on the layout is paused. Support has been added for three columns with up to 5 panels in each but as of now it's only possible to set them up through manual pvar setting. I might release a beta version without a updated setup screen if someone would be interested in trying it out though.

That's a PanelsUI limitation as far as I know - the layout code is only run when the window is visible and thus the information is not updated for the tray icon.

I still haven't gotten to test the Album List Panel, you're gonna have to wait a while longer =/

Don't worry about it! You've been more than helpful already, not to mention already in our gratitude by concocting this wonderful layout in the first place. We all have lives to get to sooner or later.

I would love to try this beta.

v1.2 beta1 - 2008-03-22

* Major overhaul for the root panel code.
* Added support for up to 3 columns, each with 1-5 separate panels.
* Tweaked track info panel once more.
* Stripped setup screen as some options are no longer available.

There's a small quickguide in the readme file provided, but if you don't want to mess around in the code I suggest sticking to 1.1.

Any one have an idea how to remove all this with singles in this config?

What do you mean exactly? Do you wish to hide the singles group in the playlist?

I mean that when i add more than one album some of the albums get the title "singles". That i want to remove

Tracks are labeled "Singles" if they don't have an Album in the ID3 information. Just label your stuff.

For the mogelbrod layout tracks are listed under singles if the they are missing the album and tracknumber id3 tags (had to do the checking manually as the panelsui userglobal didn't seem to work). Either tag your album tracks with trackno.s or change the code for the album playlist layout to skip the tracknumber check.

Something a little strange happens in my track info panel. When I opt to show the extended info with bitrate, its always off by 6-8. For instance, a 320CBR reads as 327CBR. But when I pause it, it corrects this error and stays at 320. Weird.

very nice theme

Sounds like you're playing a VBR track, the bitrate value only updates every time you change track (or pause it like you noted) as it's written in the // PerTrack section of panels ui. Therefore, VBR bitrate values may differ depending on when fb2k reads it.

xtrance: thanks, glad you like it

Hi all,

is it possible to add cover art into this skin from tag? I have all my collection tagged from amazon and added my covers in my tags. My covers show only if i have picture (folder.jpg) in directory, where album is situated.

PLS HELP!

Not as far as I know I'm afraid :/

How to change the SCPL font?

I want to change the font to Japanese character font..

Thanks..

Right-click the foobar2000 titlebar, click settings and then Globals in the window that appears. The fonts are defined by the lines below:

Thank you so much vigge..

Thanks for this config! It is great, do not take many space and not took many times to install.

If it is ok to make a request though, possible for use with lyrics_show_panels?

I am sorry for my English.

I don't support lyrics_show_panels directly but if you're using the beta version of mogelbrod you can add it manually (check the readme file for more info)

For the benefit of the person on the previous page who asked how to make it work, here's the code I used to switch out Library Filter for Album List. Turns out that "Album List" does not work, while "Album list" does. It's case sensitive. (This might be obvious for a longtime Foo hacker, but I'm new at this! ) I just commented out the two lines defining it as Library Filter and replaced them with two lines defining it as Album list. That way I can uncomment them if I want to go back for some reason.

The reason I wanted to switch the two is because the Library Filter does not appear to respect multiple genre tags per file, while the Album List panel does. Multiple genres per file is why I wanted to switch to Foobar from Winamp, so it was kind of important that I get it working.

Thanks vigge for a great interface!

Thank you for the answer. I can now add the lyrics panel.

If it is allowed, bit more questions:
Is the rating button working? I tried clicking both the stars and the lines. I try installing Quick Tagger, still not working. It can show existing ratings, but changing the rating cannot do. This is even before I make changes to the pui. I can now click on the stars to change the rating without Quick Tagger. Thank you.

I am trying to add cover art at track info. But, the below border of cover art is too low, not the same as spectrum below. In attachment, there is screenshot:

Is this wrong?


Last, possible to have a button to hide or show scrollbar?

Very very thank you. The coding is clean to look at, makes it not too hard to customize. I love this layout. (^-^)

Can I have the code for time and ratings in the playlist for each track, pls?

thanks!

Dunno why it isn't working, I can recreate the margin-bug - you'll have to fix it yourself, sorry =/
Hide/show scrollbar should be possible but could involve alot of editing in the width calculations. It's nothing Iäm planning on adding, so if you want it you'll have to add it manually.



It's already built-in, just check the 'rating' and 'length' options on the setup screen

Thank you, I've add it manually now.

Also, can the text in the file info has border/stroke? Because of the cover art background I added, the text not be viewed easily.

Panels UI doesn't support border/stroked text as far as I know, you could draw text with a bigger text size behind it but it won't look very good as the spacing and positioning of characters will be troublesome to manage.

there are plenty of text options in panelsui. you can look them up here .
i guess 'shadow' or 'glow-R-G-B' would do what you're looking for...

How do I set it up so that the contents of an album or any category gets shown on the right side and if I double click a song how do I set it up so that it gets played?

one more question, how do I view the whole library on the right side?

great layout btw, love it.

Is there a way to make the Playlist always show the Now Playing song on a track change? I pulled this bit of code out of the track display...



...and I presume that it might contain the secret to making it do what I want, but I have no idea where I'd put the call, or even how I'd call it directly. Any tips?

Also, putting $windowstyle(hidetitlebar) as the first line of the global layout FTW. Anyone have any idea on how I'd hide the scrollbar at the side of the Playlist panel?

Hurr. Yeah, there's a menu option under "Playback" to enable that. Doh! That's one of the things I'm starting to love about Foobar... the more things I figure out, the more there is to learn and tweak.
